Baby #4

Here we are past half way through our 5th pregnancy..baby #4.

We have known for quite some time...in the fall before my DH was leaving to go to Texas for work for a week. We took a test..he did not want to believe the symptoms I was having was linked to now what we know as baby #4 on its way. I told him the day his flight was leaving...SURPRISE!

After this many times..you just know..call it mothers intuition. I did not have a period this time..I know I know TMI..but common honestly..its all linked. Lets say we got lucky..haha...literally and then bing bang boom....we created another miracle. Lets say timing around my birthday was a good thing. I did not normally worry about birth control while pumping or Breastfeeding due to I do not get periods when I am. We would have started to take more precautions if so. We waited a while to make it more special and a nice surprise. I always like waiting way until around or after the 3 month mark since we have had so many problems before dear Miss E. My DH started singing snip songs when he first found out due to we were probably going to have a 4th but after K was 1- 1/2. God does not always follow our plans and usually there is a reason..Blessed we are.

We are so excited to be having another baby. Our last set of firsts. Our days are never dull...or quiet lol..but we love our children and our lives. The journey we are on is ours and we love it. Today marks 8 years married and this summer we have been together 11years.

SO far so good..everything is healthy and going well. I do not have gestational thankfully. All blood work is in the clear...scans have been great! Blood pressure is sometimes high..but each day is different. We are due the end of May..the 28th. I always go early, so we shall see what happens. We are seeing a doctor in Cobourg and will be delivering there unless I go over their weight restrictions. I am only allowed to gain like 20 something pounds. They do not have a Special care nursery so for extra precautions if that happens you get sent to good old Peterborough where they do have a NICU and we have had all our other babies there anyways. I was originally going to have a midwife..or try and get one..but after being switched by my doctor by referral I did not want to switch again.

We have one more month appointment at the end of Feb and then we start going every 2 weeks. I am currently 23 weeks 4 days...so 24weeks this Saturday.

As for Sex...we are going out with a bang. With K i wanted to have a gender party...we did not have the chance too..I have started to order some things to get it started! It will be so exciting to share our big news with a celebration of a new life...I am thinking some minute to win it! Gender Style..and a big reveal! Who is in!!!!!!

I will post more after the next appointment..xoxoxo The Brants
