another


not my idea
just agreed to it after a bit of a tantrum
wanted to have more of a break
it took on the first try
it wasn't just a test of my faith
looking for a midwife
excited


patrick is up for the challenge
justin looks at me in a different way
with a twinkle in his eye
{he understands it}
anna wants to know if she gets a sister ASAP
considering finding out the gender for the first time ever
{she begs me to find out}
dallin thinks it's a dirl
devon pulls up my shirt, pokes my belly and says baby


 

 
more than i remember with previous times
up and down nausea
so glad a warm epsom salt bath usually makes it all better
{i take lots and lot of those}
glad we have a well for water and a new soaker tub
can't stand the smells of cooking
even bacon!?!?!
what's up with me?
exhausted
MUST take a nap every day
luckily i don't have to lay on the couch all day very often

picky eater
tummy fills quickly
sensitive to textures
eating some sugar for the 1st time in a year
must eat hamburger!
and Mexican food
and ketchup
and chocolate
and oranges
and grilled cheese sandwiches
and sushi
and tomatoes
but not combined
phew!

 
glad to have had a strong prompting
it will make it easier when things are hard
His idea
 

happy to have a miracle growing inside of me
baby number 5 is due around the end of summer
all the seats in the 7 passenger mini-van will be full
another baby to love
 another element to add to the beautiful chaos
what a blessing!

I am so excited for you, Julie. What a beautiful family picture, by the way. I just ache to spend a day with you, hanging out at your house and talking about EVERYTHING! What a great mom you are...this baby is sooooooo lucky to have you!
By the way, isn't it crazy how HORRIBLE bacon can smell? I still haven't recovered from that!
Love you!!
