Playing Favorites

Several of you have oh so kindly brought it to my attention that I am playing favorites. I assure you it has not been intentional. Just to clear things up. we are expecting baby #4 next January. I am 11.5 weeks along. I look much farther along than I am (guess that is what happens by the fourth kiddo.) Yes I have been sick. No I was not sick with the boys (at least not this sick.) Yes I have been to the doctor (twice now) and no it is not twins (man do I get that question a lot, I did with Ethan as well) No I do not want to find out the gender, but Tony said too bad this kid has used up its surprise and that he will be finding out the gender. (party pooper) The heartbeat is really fast (much faster than any of the boys). This supposedly means it is a girl. It really dosen't matter to us as long as it is healthy (cliche', huh) Ethan is hoping for a sister, Blake had said he wanted another brother but today he informed me that he dosen't care what it is, he will love it anyway. (I guess this is his way of coping with the fact that it might be a sister, not sure) Chase is blissfully unaware that his days as the baby are numbered. He did however move himself out of the crib last week (thanks...that worked out well.) We un-bunked the bunk beds and he and Ethan are now roommates. Blake has his own room now and is anxious to get it decorated. The baby will have his/her own room as well. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised at how well the little boys are doing at the room sharing. Ethan loves sharing a room with Chase and Chase thinks he is a real big boy. So far we haven't had any problems getting them to sleep. The only problem we have is that if Ethan does wake up in the middle of the night (which he does about every other night) and leaves the door open, Chase will get out of bed and come downstairs in the wee hours of the morning. I have had to take him back to bed at 5;00 and 6:30 on two separate occasions this week. The good thing is that he goes right back to sleep until 7;30 or 8:00. Sorry, no pics to accompany this post. I will try to get some on this week.

Congrats! Alisa had actually shared with me your news... Now that Chase is older, how do you feel about a 4th? Some days I feel like I can't handle my 3, but I can't quite make it permanent (KWIM?)!

My girls' heartbeats were always low, so they didn't follow the trend! But they were opposite of Caleb's, so maybe that's the trick.

Congrats again and we need to get together so I can give you some clothes back that Caleb has grown out of. LMK!
