An Update -- Finally!

Well hello there!

First, thank you for all the love and prayers sent my way after my last post. The Lord has used so many people to bless and encourage me. While I can't say I'm enjoying being pregnant, I am excited about this baby, and the work the Lord is doing in our family. I'm so grateful for my midwives who have been such a support -- each one has been genuinely excited to see me again. There are so many others who have been such a help, mainly our families. They took care of me and the girls when I wasn't feeling so good, painted, cleaned, and worked so hard on our new house to get it ready for move in, and have been such a source of support and love. Mostly I'm grateful for my sweet hubby, who handles everything that comes his way with such grace and love. I know I've not been the easiest person to be around during all the stress of newly pregnant/moving/life/etc... but he's loved me unconditionally and been my rock.

So, pregnancy wise, I'm at 16 weeks... holy cow! I go for my 20 week ultrasound four weeks from today -- and guess what?! -- I'm seriously considering finding out the gender this time... am I crazy? :-) I'll let you know if I do. I'm feeling much better nausea wise, am off the Zofran (which was such a help), and am slowly getting a bit more energy. Though, taking care of three little ones sure zaps me, and most days I really need a nap when they're napping... which makes unpacking and organizing a new house take a bit longer. :-) But that's fine... we're just glad to be here!

New house -- yes, we're so glad to be here! All together, no more running back and forth. More space for people and things. Pictures will be coming... but I'd rather you not see how many boxes I still have to unpack... first up will probably be the kitchen, which was the room that had the most dramatic work done anyway. My hubby made it so nice for me!

And here are the pictures I've taken of the girls since the beginning of the year.

Blessings to you all!

So glad you are feeling

So glad you are feeling better -- both physically and in getting more excited about the new baby. Hope your energy keeps improving... and definitely take those naps!! :-)

Kerin, your children are

Kerin, your children are such cutie-pies (seriously cute children!) and this baby will be a blessing to everyone. I also can only imagine how hard life is lately and you will be in our prayers! They say adding the third child is usually the most difficult transition. Hopefully you will find that the fourth is much easier.

AND ... having done it both ways, I think knowing the gender of the baby is way more fun. I felt like I bonded better with the baby, knowing the gender. It also helped in picking out a name, thereby eliminating half of the options. :)

Blessings to you and your sweet family!!

the girls are soo cute!!

Can't believe how big they are getting! Congrats if I didn't say it already on the new one coming! Can't wait to see pics of the house! I have to remember to check here more often!
Love to all of you!
