....and then there were four.

I've been keeping a secret ((from most of you)). And it's been growing now for about thirteen weeks. In my uterus. I'm at the point where keeping it a secret is near impossible. I'm already in maternity clothes. Those flattering pieces of garments will be my wardrobe for the next 6 months. I've never been pregnant over the summer months, so it's already been an interesting pregnancy.

It was a bit of a surprise. One that took a day to wrap my head around. We knew we were going to have another, just not this soon. The first trimester passed like the others; sick, nausea, extremely tired, the prescription knocked me out for about two weeks. It did it's job of kicking the nausea down a few notches, but I was completely out of it. Thankfully, that is a thing of the past and now I can look forward to the weight gain.

I'm keeping my favorite baby doctor, Dr. Bigler, in Auburn. He has delivered my three other babies, and I just love him! My first appointment was July 7th ((our anniversary)) and it was like seeing an old friend when he walked in the door. And he gave a wonderful anniversary present when I got to hear the quiet heartbeat of the baby. And knowing that there's only one swimming in there. ;) He also gave me the green light to still participate in the sprint triathlon on the 26th. He just said to keep hydrated and take it easy.

So now I get to wonder if Lily will get her baby sister. Because if you ask her, that's what's inside. And I can't wait to feel the baby kick and move. That's probably my most favorite feeling in the whole world.
