Munchkin...

On March 6, 2011 we found out that we are expecting #4 (who our doctor named "Munchkin"). This was a big surprise for us since we have our house on the market and are trying to move and such. Yes, we wanted a 4th....just not quite yet! But we are happy to be blessed with another baby this fall!

Facts so far...

Due date: November 8, 2011

Sickness: Started even before I took the pregnancy test (which is why I decided to take one)

Heart rate: at 8 weeks 160's, at 12 weeks 170's

So, I was feeling pretty sick very quickly (and even today at 12 weeks, I'm still feeling sick), so the doctor prescribed me zofran to help with the nausea....especially since after seeing me get sick a few times, Loren came into the bathroom crying with the phone asking if she needed to call 911 emergency for me! Awww!! The meds helped take the "edge off" but I still felt pretty sick. Plus it has some other unpleasant side-effects....so I'm trying not to take it too much. My blood pressure has also already started to rise. They want me to see a high risk specialist, which I have yet to make an appointment for (I will do that eventually...)

Loren and Kaylynn are excited about having a new baby brother or sister (Loren said she ONLY wants a brother, she's sick of girls)...Kaylynn doesn't care what it is and Eryn will probably be jealous of the baby because she is jealous when I am hugging or holding anyone other than her!

So, that's the story of Munchkin so far....any thoughts on boy or girl?!? We have 2 months to guess! :)

Munchkin at 8 weeks

Eryn at 18 months

Eryn turned 18 months a few days ago! We had her 18 month check up, but I lost the piece of paper with her stats on it! Oops! I do remember she weighed about 27lbs and her head circumference was still in the 90th percentile!
