30 Weeks with #4

Wow...time sure does fly.

I am 30 weeks preggo today...30 weeks!  How is it even possible?

I have so neglected this little blog...and my other blog...but life with 3 toddlers and a 12 year old and a part-time job and a training course for a new job keep a girl busy!

But...this little boy will be here in no time!  We actually had a "wow this is really happening moment" over the weekend when we started round one of room re-arranging/furniture moving.  Currently we have 3 cribs in one room (two in toddler form) and are making room for C to go to her own room and the big boys (17 months and 2 1/2 count as big right?) are going to share a room.  The new baby will be shacking up in the corner of our room.

M moved downstairs and now has her own "teen suite" which so far has been working very well.


We have a scheduled c-section date with a new doctor (love him) and a new hospital.  Too many memories from the old place.  I suppose we should schedule a tour so we aren't completely clueless when we get there.

Things have been very easy with this pregnancy other than the whole taking care of 3 toddlers while you're at it thing.  I passed my glucose screen and shockingly my anemia screen (just barely but still in normal range)!  I love feeling the little (and sometimes big) punches and kicks and rolls inside of me and I get just a little sad knowing this is the last time.  I may be one of the few infertility patients who have requested to have her tubes tied.  It kinda makes me laugh thinking about what all we went through to get here...we prayed for children and I think God chuckled and said ok...here you go...watch out!

We count our blessings daily and I of course get teary-eyed looking at my healthy, loving, rambunctious three babies.  And with that...a diaper needs to be changed and one is crying because his sister isn't sharing the markers to his liking.

See you soon...in another couple of months! ;)

Wow!!!! Can't believe you're almost there! I have 3 that are the same ages as your 3 and am just now having that achey feeling of wanting another baby. 2 , 2 and 14 mos are the ages and my #3 was a surprise baby. I can't wait to hear of baby's healthy arrival! Good luck!

Goodness gracious! Reminds me of the Jon+Kate quote (sorry, I know, not the best models to quote)..."It's a crazy life, but it's our life!" So excited for you guys. Sounds like are figuring it out all!

Okay, so I read this when you first posted it, then I checked back hoping you'd have added a belly picture. You have to at least do one like you did right before having the twins and at the same week with Andy - you know, in front of the Dogwood? I can't believe how soon he'll be here!
