Blaaah.

I must admit it feels good to have our pregnancy out in the open. It's a humbling experience realizing you're pregnant with your 4th child. Chris and I thought we were done and I had just given away EVERYTHING (but a baby swing) a couple weeks before finding out. A week before I took the test I made myself lunch and after 26 years of NEVER, EVER eating anything with salsa I got the craving and added some to my cheese crisp. Freaked out, I immediately took a pregnancy test and it was negative. That night I even told my old roommate, Tavia, about my scare and we had a good giggle. Then while in New York when my "date" came and went I knew and I knew I had to tell Chris. I spent the whole day at Niagara Falls freaking out about it. Do I wait til we're in Colorado so he doesn't have to stress about me having a FOURTH CHILD and the move? I ended up telling him that night in our little hotel room in Palmyra. Made our trip extra memorable. Chris was amazing, and after the initial shock wore off was just as excited as I was.

My gut tells me it's a boy but I'm just convincing myself it's a girl because all the people I know who have the combo 2 girls, then a boy, and have had or are having their 4th, it's a girl. We really will be happy with either, and the girls are rooting for a little girl anyway.

I think this baby will fit right in with our crazy kids. Besides a few tiffs every now and again our kids play so great together. The other day while I was working on school I was listening to Cecily and Asher talk. Luckily I had my camera on me so I was able to sneak a little video.



So we were planning on 3 and are getting 4. I always knew there was at least one more.
How many kids do you honestly think are in your future?

(cause obviously there's really no control over the situation no matter how hard one tries).

  1. Hooray for baby!!! What does salsa have anything to do with anything?? I honestly see myself having 2 more. Probably another girl and then a boy. Maybe. Hopefully. =)

  2. That's just the moment I knew I was pregnant because I never eat anything with Salsa. I had the same moment when I realized I was pregnant with Asher I was at girls camp and ate a tomato plain (which I would NEVER EVER EVER do!) There must be something about a tomato being my sign.

  3. Oh....mixed feelings coming from me. As everyday passes I get farther and farther away from the idea of adding to our brood. After I had Trisha I told Ryan that if we have 4 we would have 5 because it would be a long long long time after Trisha. Now I'm thinking that if there is another baby for our family, it's going to have to be a surprise like your number 4 is for you because I don't think I have enough faith to follow a prompting telling me to have more.

    When are you due?

  4. I have NO clue! After Little B I said 2 is enough but now that I am knocked with #2 it just seems like we aren't done.
    I asked David the other Day what he wanted and He said " I want as many as you are willing to give me" I thought that was a good answer. I am thinking 3 maybe 4.
    Watch I'll end up like Mama Richards lol that thought just freaked me out!!!!!!!!

  6. Congrats Katie!! I truely am very excited for you and at the same time don't even want to THINK about the beginning of pregnancy right now =) This little girl is being really hard on me and right now I just want her OUT!!! I really want 5, but after this one I don't know if my body can handle it or not. At least 1 more for sure. If I were to just have boys after this, then I would for sure have 2 more.

  8. Oh my lanta!!!! I love that news :) ha ha.

  9. Wow! I had no idea you were preggers! Congrats! That is so great!

    I have NO idea how many babies we will have. Initially we said four, maybe five. Right now, emotionally I feel like I could just keep having babies all the day long until we had like 8 or something. I would kind of love that. But we are taking a break in the baby process for Matt to go to school, which will be like 4 years...so I'll be almost 30 when we start having babies again...so I have no idea how many we will squeeze in at that point. :) So back to what I said before...I have no idea :)

  10. Oh man, congrats Katie & Chris!! So happy for you! I am slightly appaled about the salsa bit (I eat salsa on almost everything, the hotter the better), but that aside, how awesome!!
    Um, I'm glad you're preg and I have a couple other preg friends so I can see happy preg people and sweet little babies, but not actually be preg myself. Not thinkin about doing that for a good loooong time...

  11. That video was so cute! My two are just starting to talk to each other, which is fun to watch.

    I would have twenty if I could, but we will see what the future holds... :)

    Congrats!!! 4 sounds like a really good number.

  12. Hey, didn't Chris say that you could name your next girl Laura? Or did he just say that cuz he thought there would be no other girl? :)

  13. Molly, he did promise and I know he's good for it but he hates the name so we'll see what happens. And yes, he thought we were done at 3 so he never thought I would be collecting on the promise.
