"You know what causes that...

right?"

  Last night this was the response I got from a woman upon finding out I was pregnant and already have 3.  How do people say this without feeling wildly inappropriate and offensive?  Ugh.  I'm sure she is just the first of many.  Why does our society hate babies?!?

  Sorry, venting a bit because it honestly hurt my feelings.  Luckily we have a lot of support and surround ourselves with people who are nonjudgemental about the number of children we have!!  (She followed it up with, "Congratulations, I guess.  Does that get a congratulations?") 

  Strange segway back to blogging, but an attempt at a recap seems insurmountable.  So, here we are 14 weeks pregnant with NUMBER 4.  Crazy!  I need to expand on how we found out and my feelings on how the heck I am going to manage...but for now I just know I have three fantastic and destructive soon-to-be 3 olds and one sweet little BOY on the way!!  

  I am thanking God for this gift.  It was undeniably His plan and not ours, which has forced me to grow and trust and adapt.  And pray.  Pray A LOT that we meet this little man in December and not any earlier!

Finding out it's a BOY!

Don't be fooled, two minutes earlier Betsy was throwing a fit and refusing to hold her number :)
