Ultrasound pic!

Kevin's clinic got a new ultrasound today! So, we played around so he could familiarize himself with it!

We havent peeked at the gender yet, but are really tempted!

We thought this was a great shot of the full face and body!

It was so neat to play around and see the little one dancing and wriggling!

COLLIN IS 2!!!!

Collin is 2!!!!

He had a nice little party with mom, dad and sis and bub. He had a good time, as you can see.

I officially have a baby bump. 15 + weeks and I feel huge, but this pic isnt soooo big!!!

Kyle has mastered his RIPSTICK. It is a 2 wheeled skateboard and really hard to learn! That is our spooky little house in the back with all of the pumpkins and skeletons....one on the left...

Carrie is soo tall! She is wearing a shoe 1/2 size smaller than mine (which means she steals mine)! She got a hair cut and looks like a cutey!

Carrie had to take a pic of the boys and I on the couch doing reading time this morning! Thought you might appreciate that I dont look too dead and can still have a sense of humor given the pregnancy fun I get to endure!

Still here~ :)

It has been a little busy here. Collin is potty training. He is doing really well and accident free most days. Have a cute toilet pic, but he is all nude, so thought better not to post! LOL!

Carrie is doing Girl Scouts and really busy there. Kyle was so excited by the idea that he insisted on joining Cub Scouts, so I am busy trying to get that going.

Kyle finally lost his first tooth...did not think it would ever happen!

I am doing better with the pregnancy illness. Still taking some meds, but not puking my lungs out!

I had an appt today and the heartbeat was good and strong. We are not sure we are going to find out the gender. Since it is the last baby we were thinking about a surprise!

Do not know if I can handle that though!

Miss you all...can not wait to be stateside! ONLY 8 months to go!

We had our ultrasound. There is one happy healthy little bean in there.

I am still about hte same.

A few ER trips for fluids and a lot of nausea...but the baby is healthy, so it will be worth it in the end.

I am officially unable to fit into my clothes...11 weeks 4 days! Wow not even the first trimester is over and I feel like a whale...oh well, lots of time to worry about that later.

Kids are still doing great with school. Collinis a chatter box.

We are discussing the finer points of moving to Florida s permenant residents and not military...pretty sure we are with it, but still a few issues for us to work out. When it is all final we will let everyone know...it is still 9 months away, so plenty of time.

Kevin will be gone for the next 2 weeks, so pray for me to be healthy with these kids and this baby growing!

Miss you all everyday!

UPDATE

Well, I am doing my usual up and down with the pregnancy complications. I have had IV fluids twice now. I am on so many meds (zofran, b-6, unisom, benedryl, colace and ginger) and still nauseous all of the time. Actually, that is not true, I have had a few fluffy days. Usually right after a day where I sleep all day and get fluids.

All the meds keep me in a drug stuppor. The kids are doing well though. Carrie and Kyle are helping a lot with Collin. They are getting through school at least 3 days a week (my goal right now). Collin is turning into a chatter box everyday. He is now telling us he loves us and thank you. He told kevin he loved him and night night on the phone tonight.

Kevin is on his first trip to Sasebo since my pregnancy yucky started. It is making more work for me, since he was doing all the baths and bed time things. I have had to let Carrie make meals a few times, but she loves that!

I am getting a little bump already. My clothes are too snug for comfort. But after 3 other babies, the condo space in my uterus us large!

We have an ultrasound in 5 days. It wil just be basic stuff to see A) how many babies B) if said is growing well. I say A about the # of babies, bc I feel like I am carrying twins. Cant explain it, just feels that way in my nauseated little head. But, since they dont seem to be in our families, I doubt it.

I will post as soon as we have our next OB visit. Miss you all. :)

Back to School

School started for us about 3 weeks ago. The public school started back this week.
The kids are doing well.
Since I have been ill with the pregnancy we are trying to get a good 3-4 days in a week for now. Most weeks that seems like a stretch, but we are doing it!

Collin is just turning into a chatter box and starting to put sentences together...
Kyle is reading very well.
Carrie is excelling in all areas as usual.

We had a suprise guest this week when a local 'stray' cat decided she needed to have kittens. They are now living in our closet upstairs. The mommy is obviously a dumped pet, who loves people and is a good mommy. She had 2 gray tabbies. One male and one female. People are already asking about them for pets. We hope momma finds a great home too...She is sooo sweet.

I have only had to get fluids by IV once to date. I have been eating well. I just have a hard time getting liquids in. Water always wants to come right back. I tend to sip on Diet Mountain Dew all day...doesnt that sound healthy?
I try not to worry about the healthy part too much since the otehr kids turned out fine! LOL

I hope everyone is well. I have not felt like talking on the phone bc of the nausea, but will try to return calls soon.

PREGNANT!

Well, to those of you who read this and have not gotten an email or phone call...WE ARE PREGNANT...again!
I am currently 6 weeks pregnant. I am due April 8th. Hopefully mid March, since Collin and Kyle were a few weeks early.
Carrie is very excited.
When I asked Kyle, 'do you want to have a baby,' he said, 'NO!'
I was shocked, and asked him why. He said, 'I am not ready to get married yet mom!'
I laughed and said no, a baby brother or sister...tho which he responded, 'oh, sure!'

Made me laugh...

I have been healthy to date and am still just feeling pregnant. No severe Hyperemesis...All is well.

We started back into our school routine and will hopefully have a productive year since we will be most likely finishing a little early when baby comes...then finishing up anything ove the summer months. :)

I will keep you all posted. I have an appt this Thursday to get all of my meds in line in case I do get sick. Right now I only have an emergency supply sitting on the shelf.

Miss you! Love you!
