How in the world am I this far along already?!
I've still been feeling pretty lousy lately, but that's good I suppose. Not good for my house, motivation, or things Patrick has to do, but good for baby!
I went in this morning for my nurse visit-thankfully they let me do the "you have lots of kids already" abbreviated version-I didn't have to sit through the class, just filled out the paperwork on my own and met briefly with the nurse, and had many viles of blood drawn-and was turned down for an early ultrasound (womp womp). I know the next week and a half will fly though and we'll be finding out if my hyperovulation gene kicked in again before we know it-I can't wait!

8w
8 weeks today! I've decided to do weekly pictures a little different this time-going along with the weekly "how big is baby" comparisons with the kiddos. Of course Maya had no idea why she was holding this kidney bean, little did she know her future brother or sister is that big this week! I hope everyone enjoys the pictures because I'm sure not going to work on them all being posed. If they are all in the shot and you can see the item of the week, that's good enough for me!
I'm still feeling sick, especially at night, and I'm still unbelievably exhausted. Nothing new. I'm starting to get a little antsy for my nurse visit and bloodwork and everything since it's only a few days away now. Still not sure when we're going to tell everyone either-it almost still doesn't feel real just because we don't talk about it here because of Maya or out because no one knows!

Yesterday I felt wonderful! I had energy (and didn't nap during the afternoon when I could have) and my nausea was gone-and I actually thought about eating chicken for dinner. Why I didn't think to take advantage of that, I have nooo idea...
Today I'm back to feeling kinda rotten. Good rotten, since I know this won't last and that sick means safe, but woosa! When the twins were born I'd make sure to take it one day at a time-which honestly, mentally, worked great. Now I'm taking it a half day at a time-morning wake-up till naptime and post-naptime till bedtime (thank you, babies' new rise time... Eeeehhh!)

The nausea and food aversions have definitely begun! It hit around Saturday (6w4d) and is going strong. I'm exhausted, partly because the babies are horrible sleepers right now due to the lack of crib rail (silly climbers) so it's a really fun early first trimester! :)

What a raging hormonal day. I feel like I usually do during the nasty raging postpartum period!
In other news, baby has a heartbeat this week :)

I am so unbelievably tired. I forget how exhausting growing a person can be... Plus this time we have three under four! (What were we thinking?!)
This has been the quietest pregnancy yet. This time the situation surrounding it was different, for one, and it will be baby #4 so it's nothing new (sorry baby! Just think of it this way, you won't be a guinea pig!) I am anticipating only a week or so more of this though, if this is like the others I better get my eating for the next few months in now!

Surprise! #4 is in my belly!
It's no secret that Patrick and I love being parents. Sure, it gets frustrating at times/most days with what an intense first child we were blessed with, but of course we wouldn't trade a bit of the craziness that is our house for anything. Would I love to have the babies a wee bit more self sufficient? Sure! But that's right around the corner. So what do we do? Decide it may be an ok time for the next one!
If you read back far enough, or if you know me, you know all I have wanted was an unstressful #4. Getting pregnant with Maya and the twins was so hard-all I wanted to do was one day discover that oh, I'm pregnant! It didn't quite happen like that, but we were so blessed enough to have it happen this easily this time. On the other hand, I do have anxiety over it for some reason-maybe since a positive test is usually the end of a hard road, or that I know what some people will say behind my back ("MORE kids?!" to which I say-our life, my womb, the Lord said to be fruitful and multiply. My womb apparently likes being fruity) or the fact that people I love so dearly are walking down the same road we once traveled and I feel like this is unfair-I can't totally be happy for myself. Mind game!
I think I'm going to play the waiting game (for real this time) with going to Naval for my test. I'm not sure if they'll scan me early or not, too, since I'm at such higher risk of having multiples again since A&P were spontaneously conceived before. We shall see. Yay I'm pregnant!
