There's a BUN in the Oven!

I'm so excited I can't contain myself! I'm pregnant again and due April 20th! I've always known we were going to have 4 kiddos in our family. The day I found out I went into my closet crying tears of joy and thanked my Father in Heaven (those "happy tears" lasted all day long). I had my first check-up at the Dr. last month and everything seems to be looking good. The kids are super excited. Mason found out I was going to the Dr. and wanted to come with. He's so sweet. I told him he could come to the next appointment when the Dr. will do another ultrasound. We told the kids about a month ago but asked them to keep it a secret. All of them were so excited but I think Mason grasps the concept a little more. Everywhere we go he would whisper to me "Can I tell them our secret?... or Do they know know yet?" Every morning before school he would ask Can I tell my friends yet?  So excited to share his happy news.

Noah is adorable and randomly comes up to me to rub my belly.

Callie is just excited to have a real live baby doll to dress up and play with!

The day I found out I was expecting I baked some cinnamon rolls in the oven shaped in the number 4. I told Ron when he walked in the door from work to "Go look in the oven, I'm baking something sweet for you." He looked at me a little weird but went to check. Opened the oven and said "YUM!" Then went to the bedroom to change out of his work clothes. UGH. I was so annoyed. He didn't even NOTICE! So we got the cinnamon rolls out of the oven frosted them and waited for Ron. The kids wanted to eat them so bad so I told Callie to go tell Daddy to come see the rolls! LOL Finally he starred at them and it clicked.

"Bun in the Oven"

I'm about 12 weeks along and so far have had a really good pregnancy. I'm still exercising daily, including weights and running. I'm blessed with a strong stomach and so far have only thrown up a couple times (both at the gym and not really a big deal). I have been a lot more nauseous this pregnancy but it hasn't stopped me from eating anything or doing much. (In fact I want to eat any and EVERYTHING in sight) I'm extremely tired and that annoys me! At night I pass out which is very hard for me, I'm the most productive at night plus I feel bad because Ron's working a lot so I don't get to see him much when I go to bed at 9:30pm. Super emotional! I cry over and get choked up about almost anything. It's been a little bittersweet. When I'm pregnant I think I really appreciate life so much more. It's like I get a taste of heaven and am a little more receptive to the spirit. (I wish it would magically make the perfectly patient mom but I'm still working on that.)

Callie saw me setting up the camera for the "pregnancy test" pic and insisted we have our own photoshoot. LOL

 I just love this little girl!

 Noah also wanted in on the fun!
