....the birth of our 5th child!
Can I just say how crazy that sounds!?! Five children! Honestly, after Orson was born, we weren't sure if we would have any more kids. But soon we realized there was at least one more little one Heavenly Father wanted to send to our family. We were excited to add another baby to our family at some point in a year or two. Little did we know this baby wanted to come sooner (and in the middle of our move!)
Since the initial shock of "we're having a baby 2 months after we move to a brand new place 1,700 miles away from family and where we know almost no one" wore off, we've been so excited! I can't wait to snuggle a sweet little newborn again. I can't wait to see Orson be a big brother. I can't wait to see the girls love on another little sibling. Babies are so much fun!
Pregnancy is slightly less fun. First trimester exhaustion hit me hard this time! I also had lots of nausea similar to my pregnancy with Orson (which has me thinking this baby is a boy. We'll see...)
I'm already 16 weeks and feeling great now. And thankfully because we're busy getting the house ready to put on the market. This move is getting real! Now we just: get the house show ready, keep it that way, sell our house, go house hunting in KY, hopefully buy a new house, pack everything up, move as I'm entering my third trimester, get everything unpacked and set up, find a new doctor, make new friends and find someone to watch the big kids while I'm in labor, and have a baby! Simple right? It will all work out wonderfully well. I know because I've seen time and time again that each of our babies has been born exactly when they needed to be. I'm confident this time around will be no different.
Only four more weeks until we learn baby's gender! About 13 weeks until we move! And about 24 weeks until we become a family of seven. Can't wait!
