We're Pregnant!

I think this may be the worst kept secret of my life. Mickey and I are happy to tell everyone that we are expecting our 4th baby on August 7th. We are excited and happy. After our miscarrige this summer, we had decided to keep this under wraps until we were a little more sure of the pregnancy. I went in for a 6 week ultrasound and even heard the heartbeat. I had to hold my breath and be still but I got to hear 4 great heartbeats. I was so happy but still a little worried. At our 7 week ultrasound this summer, there was an empty sack...so this was beautiful to me!
Our next ultrasound was at 8 weeks and we got an even better shot of arm buds and an even stronger heartbeat around 150 beats per minute. It was one of the best things I had heard. While we were even more encouraged, I still wanted to keep it to ourselves. Well, Beth saw me stuff the ultrasound pictures in my purse (from across the parking lot) and asked if we were having a baby. I couldn't lie..so we told the kids. Not my plan.

I go in on Monday for another ultrasound. I have a doctor that believes in ultrasounds until you can hear the heartbeat with a doppler. It is okay with me. I love watching our sweet baby develop and grow. I am praying right now that the morning sickness will soon leave and I can get back to some normal activities...like cleaning the house. How grateful I am for a fantastic husband who takes care of me so well.
