Why my blog went blank...

Baby number 4 is on board! Hopefully this won't be a big shock to most of you - I'm pretty sure the large family grapevine has done it's job by now.

I realize it's not really an excuse for not blogging or checking my email or doing laundry or exercising (the list is long) but after a couple months of 24 hour "morning sickness" some things went way down on the priority list. After being pregnant a few times with varying degrees of "morning sickness", I'm pretty sure the term was coined by a man because it's really not just the MORNING - oh, if only!

Anyway, feeling better now at 16 weeks and trying to get back on track - just in time for Lent (more on that later probably.)

The photo was taken at 12 weeks - an ulstrasound ordered by the midwife because I told her I could feel the baby moving and she told me, "No way," and that I must be further along. I admit, I was really hoping that due date would get moved up, but no such luck. She was wrong, I was right. For those of you familiar with looking at ultrasound photos, doesn't it look like the baby has a diaper on already?!

SO, due date is July 25 and we will not be finding out if it's a boy or girl. The name game is ON! So far, in the front running for a boy - Groundhog- affectionately chosen by your sisters (man will you be in trouble) and for a girl - Daphne - also by your sisters who are in a weird obsessive stage of Scooby Doo (a bad habit formed in the throes of morning sickness).

Anyway, that's the update - I may attempt a slide show of the past couple months -wish me luck!!
