A little Q & A

So, in the wake of our recent announcement, there have been a lot of questions. I will try to answer them as best I can. he he he.

When are you due/how far along are you?
I wish I knew for sure. Somewhere between November 9th and November 27th. We aren't really positive. We've had one ultrasound that says the 27th, but I don't really think that's possible. We're going by that for now, but I won't be surprised if it changes at the next ultrasound. So for now, let's say about 12 weeks.

Was this planned?
Ha ha ha. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Apparently the Lord has other plans in mind for us than we had for ourselves. We were hoping for a little more time to get more prepared financially and emotionally (AND LOSE A LITTLE WEIGHT), but I guess we will work it out!

When did you find out?
In the bathroom at In 'n' Out burger on March 18th. For MONTHS Mason would pray for a baby sister at every meal and bedtime. Then one day he just stopped. About that same time, Carter was suddenly obsessed with babies. We even got him his own baby doll because he was so into them. We were oblivious to the hints from our sweet and so "in-tune" little ones though. It took a few more weeks for us to even think it was possible. I decided to pee on a stick just to ease my mind, and well . . . The rest is history.

Are you hoping for a girl?
Duh.

Are you excited?
Now that we've had some time to get used to the idea, yes. We are excited. Still very nervous about how things will all work out, but trying to have faith and be patient. I will be even more excited WHEN we find out it's a girl. ha ha ha.

Have you been sick?
Yes. I've lost 12 lbs. so far. I just never feel like eating anything. (Except mashed potatoes.) And when I do it I throw it back up more often than not. I am on drugs this time around though which has been nice. They cause other problems for me, but it still is nice to not throw up so much. Hopefully we are almost past the sick part. The worst has been I am just EXHAUSTED all of the time. I can't get anything done around the house. Once the kids are dressed and fed, I can't seem to muster up any more umph for anything else!! I think that has been the hardest part. Mason is a SWEETHEART though! He always rubs my back and asks if I need anything. He'll give me a kiss and then say, "Does that help you feel better Mom?"

I think that about covers it. Let me know if I missed anything! ;)
