The bun is in the oven...


And the poor thing doesn't even know what's coming.


It's official:
#4 will be making it's debut in July/August.

It's been 11 weeks so far and the signs are all here.
Morning (all day sickness)... CHECK.
The ever expanding waistline... CHECK.
Cravings for anything deep fried... CHECK.
Headaches... CHECK.
Extreme lack of motivation... CHECK.
A permanent couch imprint of my body... CHECK.
The "sisters" increasing in size... Double CHECK with exclamation points and a smiley face.
Waking up 5 times a night to pee only like a teaspoon... CHECK.

Nate and I are thrilled and feel greatly blessed to be able to add another little one to the family. The kids are super excited too, but still a little skeptical- especially Kaleb. We told them Christmas morning that we were going to have a baby, because you know, that's where babies come from... Santa Clause. It's kind of like an immaculate conception type of thing.

Kaleb has dibs on naming it Bono or The Edge if it's a boy (possibly even a girl).
Macie's pretty sure it's a girl and the only acceptable name for a girl is Dora.
And Abrie's just excited to have a baby, her vote is boy.

As for me I'm happy either way, but for now I shall call this unborn child my little it-ling or my tiny he/she and then I will pray that it doesn't come out resembling the white version of RuPaul.

Mindy said...

Congratulations. That is always exciting news.
And you looked that good in those skinny jeans?
No fair.

Crystal said...

I wondered that a couple of posts back when you said something about announcements! congrats!

Sydney said...

"expanding waistline?" Please tell me you took that picture the day you found out and not today. Surely, your tiny, tiny waist is not what you're referring to as "expanding".

So, can I borrow your new pair of skinny jeans? I won't wear them, I just want to tack them to my wall for motivation.

The Blandon's said...

Mike and I were wondering when you were going to come out with the big news...
We are happy for you guys!
Good luck and hopefully we will be out to visit you guys again soon. We had a ton-o-fun and Chrissy is now addicted to carcassonne!

Merilee said...

Janas Bananas said...

Congrats!!! I was just pulling up your blog when Steph called me and asked if I had read it yet..We are very in sync obviously. I loved your announcement, very clever indeed.
Enjoy the laying on the couch all day...that was my favorite part..Mitch never dared asked if I was planning on doing anything ever, he new the consequences of his actions if he did. Oh it was good to have excuses, those were the days.

Congrats Ginnie & Fam!

Welcome Baby Bono!

Aubrey said...

Wonderful news. It is a miracle EVERY time. What a lucky mama.

Em said...

Sorry about the sick part. Really truly, is there anything less fair?! But otherwise CONGRATS! So glad we didn't have to keep that secret long!

Tiffany said...

Congratulations! I think "Bono" would be a mistake, but "The Edge"? Now, that's a name!

the mama monster said...
