Pregnancy sickness

I have been pretty sick the past couple weeks with afternoon and evening sickness. Even though it is called Morning sickness I am usually okay for a few hours in the morning.  I am also very tired. I have been going to sleep around 7:00 p.m. I am trying to wean Nathan because I feel like with all the throwing up I am not getting enough fluids in me anyway. He is not very happy about it. I have got him down to nursing 1 time during the day and some times a couple times at night. I am hoping that within a week or two I can get him totally weaned.

Boots Baby #4

We were not planning on having any more kids but God had another plan for us so we are expecting #4! My due date is September 18th. I had an ultrasound on January 30th. Couldn't see much yet but I was able to see the heart beating already and it was 120. I had my second appointment today (9 weeks). I have not gained any weight yet so that is good. Since I had gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy they had tested me for it and it was negative right now. The doctor wants me to test my blood though just so we can catch it early if I do get it again. Nathan was 9 pounds 14 ounces and she said we need to try to keep this baby closer to 9 pounds. I am also supposed to eat a low carb diet. My next appointment is March 9th.
Ultrasound picture at 7 weeks


We bought this shirt from Crazy 8 and had Nathan wear it to announce to my family that he was going to be a big brother. My mom thought it was a joke at first. My twin sister did not believe it because I always have told her pretty much the second I found out with my previous pregnancy's. They are all happy for us though.
