Everyone is doing well. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers - they were felt today! More details to follow when I'm not so tired!

Boy or Girl?

Tomorrow is the big day - can't believe it's already here! I thought it would be fun to see what your predictions are for the baby's gender tomorrow. Here are a few facts to help you decide:

- Until this last month, this has been my easiest pregnancy by far (thank goodness)!

- However, this last month, has been the most difficult (though I think keeping up with a 3 year old and a 1 1/2 year old has a lot to do with that).

- I only got sick 3 times this pregnancy (it was pretty much every day until 13 weeks with the others).

- I've had heartburn, but not nearly as bad as with Jack or Anna.

- Baby's heart rate has pretty much been in the 150s, though it started at 170 and has been as low as 140.

Here's a visual, if it helps.
I stopped vacuuming so Marshall could take this picture, so that's not the glow of pregnancy on my face - that's sweat!

So . . . boy or girl? It's a hard guess to make based on the "facts," but I have my own prediction based on a gut feeling. I'm not telling what I think, though!

I will leave you with a little equation to make you laugh (or cry). Since July 2005 (that's almost 4 years ago), I have only NOT been pregnant for 16 months, not consecutive, of course. So I've been pregnant for 30 out of the last 46 months and nursing for the majority of those other 16 months. So you see, I am REALLY ready for tomorrow!!!!

Stay tuned . . . .

Picnic

We decided to pack a lunch and go on a picnic this morning after church. The weather was great and we enjoyed spending time as a family of four (oh excuse me, five, we did bring the furry family member along with us).

Technical Difficulties

If you tried to join us earlier we were having some technical difficulties. All is well in blog-land again, though, so no need to worry! However, you MIGHT have to re-subscribe in your google reader and update your links again if you have already done so. Sorry about that - I do think that all the kinks are worked out now, though. Let me know if they are not.

Welcome to Our New Blog

We've got a lot going on these days so check back with us soon to see what's happening. It's pretty big stuff!!! I might even just post a belly picture, and trust me, that will be huge!
