I should have known before the little + sign on the stick. The absolute sheer exhaustion should have clued me in, lol. Duh, Julie, you are pregnant. I guess I never really got over the reality of "trying to conceive" for so long w/ Eddie and Travis. My cycles are inconsistent for no-good reason they can explain medically so I never take a test right away. Believe me, I am very blessed. We TTC for 14 months before we got pregnant w/ Eddie and for 19 months before we got pregnant w/ Travis. I do realize some couple try for years and its just not God's plan. But in those months of trying I felt like we might be one of those couples and it was heartbreaking. So my heart goes out to those couples.
Anyhow, I wake up exhausted. Lexi is not sleeping thru the night (yes, she's 16 months old). I feel like I can't catch up on anything on the home front! LOL, before I discovered I am pregnant, I even told several people, "I don't know why but ever since Christmas, I just can't keep a handle on this house." Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for being one of those women who doesn't suffer from morning sickness-much. But I will be glad when that 2nd trimester kicks in and kicks the exhaustion out!!!

What am I thinking?
Well, we discovered we are pregnant with our 4th and final baby two weeks ago. I went to the doctors today and we are 9.5 weeks. I was a little disappointed because at that stage I knew he wouldn't try to hear a heartbeat so that means waiting another 4 weeks.
Ed was thrilled when I showed him that stick with the + sign. I was a little aprehensive. We definitely always planned on 4. I just instantly remembered the 16 month age gap between Travis and Lexi and remembered how hard it was for me to adjust. Lexi will be 23 months when I deliver so I think it will be easier.
I can laugh now because the doctor asked me what was new besides the pregnancy. He last saw me for my annual exam in April. I replied with a nonchalant "nothing" at first. Then I burst into laughter and said, "That's not true. I'm homeschooling. I have 3 kids under 6 and am pregnant with baby #4. My life is crazy. And I do realize that I must be a little insane." He smiled and stated that surely I must be getting lots of sleep. To which I laughed and replied, "Nope, Lexi still isn't sleeping through the night." Whatever the next 7 months bring...I'm sure it's gonna be a wild ride!
