Every once in a while I look at Jesse and tell him... Do you know we are going to have another baby? There are just days where this seems so surreal.
Pregnancy Number 4 at age 35. Whoo-eee! This is a different road! Exhaustion is a real thing! I thought once I hit my second trimester I would feel amazing and not need to rest so much. Nope. Not true. I am still crashing and hoping for a nap each day, and my kids are over naps!! However they do a great job at giving me a moment to be still and rest!
This pregnancy I am not as hungry as I feel like I should be or was with the other pregnancy. I also want nothing to do with sweets. Instead I am keeping baked lays cheddar sour cream chips in stock at all times.
I ran into a lady when I was in Austin, TX and she was asking me to take a picture of her with her friend. She said, "Oh look she's pregnant." With a quick, "You're pregnant right? Please tell me your pregnant and this isn't a burrito baby!" And then she proceeded to touch my belly! Which followed it by, "You never ask a person if they are pregnant and I did AND I touched your belly!" Needless to say was mortified by her episode! I laughed and told her... well... it is 3/4 burrito baby and 1/4 human baby!! We were in Tex-Mex capital and the tacos were amazing and served at every corner!! She was actually one of the first people to commented on me being pregnant.
The kids are thrilled about this baby and ask lots of questions. Melanie just wishes the baby could come out NOW! They are very excited to know if it is a boy or girl! We have a lot of boy votes over here too! I honestly have no gut feeling on what this baby is. I also don't think we are going to find out either. *shocker*
We do not have a lot of baby gear because 2 summers ago I had a mega garage sale and sold it all. BUT! The baby gear and baby blankets and baby clothes and baby EVERYTHING are so insanely cute! I can't even handle it! Mallory and I love to wonder down the baby isle and gush about the cuteness. I have not purchased anything yet... but oh are we ready!
We got a peek at baby already!! I had a little scare earlier this week when flying back from Austin, TX. I passed out on the landing into Minnesota. I felt it coming, but didn't think it would actually happen. Next thing I knew I was laying over into the lap of the lady next to me and a guy on my right kept repeating, "are you okay?" I don't really remember the plane landing but first responders rushed onto the plane and got me off. Started checking me over and then decided that I need to get to a hospital and took me by ambulance to the closest hospital. Jesse and the kids got the scary phone call from my ambulance crew that they should meet me there instead of the airport! Those poor kids of mine and husband! Scariest phone call!! While I was in the hospital getting fluids and EKGs, they gave me an ultra sound to make sure baby was good. The kids and Jesse got there in time to see it too! It was a highlight of the whole event! Baby's heart rate was good and baby was kicking around and looked great!
Besides the exhaustion it has been a really nice and easy pregnancy!!
