I found out that I am pregnant on June 13th. We weren't trying or anything (or so I thought), but after I ate 120 twizzlers in one weekend, I started to get suspicious. After I happily tested positive I decided to keep it a secret from Chris until Father's Day. I slipped a positive pregnancy test along with a note from baby #4 into Chris's Father's Day gift bag. He was happy and not-so-surprised which makes me wonder if he planned this whole thing himself  : )

I confirmed the pregnancy at Dr Allen's office.

We haven't announced this pregnancy yet and we are not sure when we are going to. I went to Dr Allen's office today at got an ultrasound. I got to see my healthy 9 week fetus and its strong heartbeat. So, we're off to a great start! I weigh 123 lbs already. Dr Allen mentioned that I will probably "show" sooner than I did with my other pregnancies and will probably get even bigger too. UGH!!! At least he said that my labor should go quickly this time.

These first 2 pictures were taken at 8 weeks,  and the last picture was at 10 weeks

Here we are at 11 weeks

And here's 12 weeks

Well I go for my next ultrasound on Oct 9th and I have actually considered finding out the sex. I'm not sure about that though. The only reason I would find out is because what if it's a boy??? I don't have any boy things and I doubt Chris will let me dress him in pink! The surprise and suspense of not knowing is great though. I hope you all vote in my poll to help me decide.

I have been feeling fine. My last Dr Appt went well. I was 128 lbs. I feel the baby flipping around all the time. I haven't been getting enough sleep lately though between my classes, Alyssa's classes, and everything else in-between. I've tried to make a daily schedule, but I never stick to it. Plus it is very discouraging because it showed me that I only have one hour of free time per day every week. Oh-Well.

Speaking of free time ... I better get back to my sociology paper. Till next time ....

Here is my

fat belly

 at 16 weeks.
