It's a......

Once upon a time I used to blog.  I enjoy blogging.  It's important to me.  And yet....it continues to get pushed aside.  I still have posts from last Christmas.  7 months ago.  I guess at some point I just have to cut my losses and start back in the present.  If I find some miraculous 3 hour window of time I hope I can go back and do a ginormous blog catch-up post.  But for now, I'll continue on.  And hopefully be consistent.  Because right now, this is the only record I have.  Heaven knows my memory isn't a reliable record.

We just got back from a weekend of camping.  I. love. camping.  And thankfully so does Mike.  And my girls love it as well.  Carter was a bit more apprehensive but he embraced the dirt.  Including eating it.  And thankfully he did better than I feared.  Last year we didn't go camping because Carter wasn't camping approved.  But he passed the test this year.  

I went in for my Ulstrasound a few weeks ago.  I went a week earlier than I was supposed to because I wasn't feeling the baby move and after the last appointment where they had trouble hearing the heartbeat, I was a little nervous.  Everything looked great.  Baby looked healthy, had all it's limbs, a functioning heart, and is currently in the wrong position--head up, feet down. 

And, we're having another BOY!!!  I honestly didn't care if it was a girl or boy, but I'm glad Carter will have a buddy.  Although I'm afraid this boy will be pretty crazy with Carter teaching him how to be a wild man.  Right now, we're just praying for an uneventful rest of the pregnancy, a smooth easy delivery (I laughed out loud when I typed that), a healthy baby, and, most importantly, a baby that doesn't scream every day all day for 5 months.  We're very blessed and we recognize that.  Due date is currently December 11th.  My girls were both induced a week early because I had high blood pressure, and I went into labor on my own 2 weeks before Carter's due date.  So I'm thinking he'll be born early December.  Guess I better get my Christmas shopping done early.

So 2 girls, 2 boys, great place to stop.  :)  Hopefully God agrees with us.
