Baby #5

Well, its true, we're having a baby. Yes, #5! We are very excited! At first I was hesitant to tell anyone. I was worried about what they would think- If I was a good mom, If I could handle it, etc.... But, I had to get over that real fast. I know what we want & what we feel is right. So, here we are expecting #5! I think the kids are excited. Matt said he doesn't want a sister, they're annoying, or a brother they're annoying too. So, this will be a long few months! It doesn't seem very 'real' right now, maybe further down he'll feel more excited. I hope so. The older boys are excited though & Emily is already telling me what we're going to do with our baby- rock her, put her in bed, change her diapers, dress her, etc. Yes, she thinks it's a sister. We'll see. She actually keeps telling me that there are 2 babies. Heaven help me!

I had my first appt. today. I am 10 weeks. I didn't get to hear the heartbeat, so it still doesn't feel 'real' to me. A little disappointing, oh well. I have always heard it this early with the others, so I don't get it. Now I have to wait another month to hear it. UGH! At least there weren't 2 heartbeats! LOL

My due date is August 19th. I have already told Craig we are NOT planting anything in our garden this year that I would have to 'can'. I will NOT do that with a newborn! I can't even imagine. For some reason I am dreading this summer.........already. I am going to be 8-9 months pregnant during the hottest & most humid part of the summer. It will most likely be around 85-95 degrees with 95% humidity! Yuck! Thank heavens for A/C. I will be inside most of the summer or at the pool at grandmas house! I am happy however that the kids won't be in school, so no having to get up too early to get them off to school. We can sleep in! Grandma doesn't work during the summer either, so hopefully she'll be around to help, hint, hint grandma. The kids love going over to grandma & papas house. Especially Emily! She does grandmas makeup, lotions her all up & eats everything in sight when she's there. We have lots of good help.

I really need to post some pics, but we haven't really been doing anything picture worthy lately! I have felt so sick in the afternoon (when everyone gets home from school) that I don't feel like doing anything. I hope that part ends soon. I'm crossing my fingers! Any suggestions for what helps the sickness part? I've tried B6, didn't do much. HELP!
