Family of SIX!!

When I was about 10 weeks we told the kids that we were pregnant by playing Pictionary with lots of baby themed drawings. It was so fun to see them connect all the clues and pictures. They are pretty thrilled and have done a FANTASTIC job taking care of the Mama.

AND today we found out it's a baby BOY!! We are excited and due February 26th (could it be a leap year baby??). We were hoping (and trying!!--Google the "Shettles Method" if you're curious) for a boy so I was not too surprised. I'm 18 weeks right now and feeling huge already. I guess that's what baby #4 will do to you. As soon as my body figured out it was pregnant it just went right to business expanding all areas that had previously been stretched. For some reason this was the hardest first trimester of all my pregnancies. I would like to blame the heat...and possibly my age! You already feel BLAH because it's 115 outside and then you add the bits of nausea to it. I think I was low in iron a lot because I felt like I was going to pass out a lot and spent a lot of time on the couch moaning and groaning. Luckily that part is over! Whew... on to the fun part of picking a name and planning for a little brother. Any name suggestions?

Yaay! So exciting! :) Well, I love the name Grant, so I will give you our other boy name- Collin. So cute. :) But, you have the cutest kiddos so whatever name you give will be darling! :)

YAY!! Excited for you! Every boy needs a brother. But I must say you must be one of the lucky ones that the shettles method works for. :) Sure as heck doesn't work for me! OR the Chinese calendar. :) Baby boy #4 (who was supposed to be a girl) heading our way Feb 16th! Good luck with a name! I have the HARDEST time coming up with boy names.
