Well, now that we have told all our family and closest friends I can post that we are expecting #4!!! We are very excited and a bit nervous too. I was very tired the first trimester, but it is slowly improving. Now, I'm just continuing with nausea, some days worse than others. I was hoping it would be done after I hit the 12 week mark, but I am now 14 weeks and it is continuing. I think it lasted 14-16 weeks with Logan so hopefully, it will go away soon.
Wednesday, I had my 12 week appt (really I was 13 1/2 weeks, but the ultrasounds are showing me a week behind so there is some debate on the due date). Colin and Evan came with me and we heard the heart beat for the first time. Evan commented how loud it was and he kept asking if the doctor was going to take the baby out! I don't think he is understanding that he has to wait until December for that! I am supposed to be due 12/21, but my first ultrasound says 12/28, which is not possible, so who knows....I think I am due around 12/24, but the docs will probably stick with 12/28.
Today, Dennis came with Colin, Evan and I to get an ultrasound. It was cool as always to see the baby on the screen. Colin and Evan also thought it was neat, though I think they were equally as interested in their video games. Colin is reading this as I type and says that's not true :-) This ultrasound came up with a due date of 12/27. But, most important the baby looks healthy so far!
We waited to tell everyone this go round until at least the 12 week mark, because we found with previous pregnancies that people aren't very good at keeping secrets. We really didn't want work or Facebook acquaintances to know too early and so we felt the only way to keep things quiet was to not tell anyone until we were ready for everyone to find out. With the added stress of the early part of this pregnancy not looking very good, we really wanted to be sure the baby was healthy before news got out. And, of course we want to be the ones to tell our close friends and family and not have them hear it from someone else or Facebook.
So, anyway, we waited to tell the boys until almost 13 weeks, right before we told everyone else. They were excited. Colin said, "Finally!". Of course they want a boy so they can play 2 on 2 sports! Fathers Day weekend we began making phone calls to family to let them know and gradually as we have run into friends and neighbors we have told them as well. It is starting to feel real now!
