4 Months

4 months pregnant with #3! Time seems to be on super speed, especially with the holidays coming up. This pregnancy is continuing very smoothly, which I am SO grateful for! I hold my breath each ultrasound, my heart races until they tell me "baby looks good!" Then I can breathe and enjoy the ultrasound. Today was my 16 week ultrasound. It was so much fun to watch baby bounce around, suck its thumb, reach for its feet, put its arms over his/her head.

She told me to cover my eyes when she had to measure the thighs- so I put a towel over my face. She gave me warning every time she got close to the genital area. I love not finding out the gender- it brings this whole new level of excitement and anticipation! It is totally not my personality to do this, but I decided to take on the challenge and glad I did.

I can feel baby move at random times throughout the day, especially at night. I will call the baby "bean" for now! Bean has a great strong heartbeat and all measurements look right on track. The organs look good, such a blessing that I literally thanked God for the second she told me!! More good news- my cysts are almost gone. She is not worried about them at all! She said they reduced significantly and no longer "on her radar." Such a wonderful appointment. My next appointment will be at 20 weeks. I will enjoy Thanksgiving as I am forever thankful for my babies!

I did have a little car accident last week. It is pretty embarrassing...I drove into a pole in a parking lot!! No distractions! I was not on phone, I was not talking to the boys in the back seat. I just cut a corner too sharp and nailed the pole! It did some damage to my car, a tow truck had to come get my car. Scott was out of town, so my dad came to pick us up. The boys were with me. They were fine. The airbags did not come out, but it was a hard jolt! I called the doctor, and she didn't seem concerned because my body didn't have impact with anything. I followed up with her that Monday, and baby bean was fine- thankfully! I was worried sick at the thought of me hurting this baby because of a stupid, careless mistake!! I now have a rental car for a couple weeks. Scott is probably the sweetest husband in the world. Although he has made fun of me and rolled his eyes, he has not made me feel bad once! He just said, "well girl, mistakes happen and I certainly don't love you any less- even though you drove your Lexus SUV into a light pole!!" I know it sounds awful, but we are thankful that no one was hurt. Scott and I went back to the parking lot for me to show him the light pole...well, actually it was not a light pole. It was a handicap parking concrete pole! I told Scott, "oh, I guess I was about to park in a handicap spot? At least I prevented a parking ticket!!" Hey, laughter is great medicine and we tried to make light of the situation! 

I continue to feel great and staying busy. I am loving these days with my boys! It is so cold outside- so cold and rainy for the past week. I like it because it actually feels like the holiday season, but I am missing the sunshine! Life is good right now, real good! Happy Thanksgiving! We have SO much to be thankful for! Baby bean and my sweet boys, we love you!
