Baby Hoopes #4 is a Brewin'

I've been doing a lot of updating today, but the most exciting news is we're having another baby! He/she is due Aug 1st, putting me at 12 1/2 weeks. The past six weeks have been mostly miserable, but we got through it and luckily most of the family still loves me (barely). And this past week the good moments are lasting a lot longer. So I have high hopes that the awfulness is coming to an end.

Yes, I am already showing a lot. Yesterday I announced the pregnancy in relief society and everyone came up and said things like, "You've been looking like you are pregnant." So yes, I'm tired, have awful complexion, and have a pudgy belly and bum.

But no worries. It's all worth it and the second trimester is typically good to me. I can exercise more, eat food that is healthy rather then just sounding edible, and I get the beautiful smooth skin I always dream of.

We are excited to welcome a new little one to the brood. Some days I think I'm crazy for thinking I can handle it. But I'm pretty sure this one's our last, so I think it will make it easier to savour every moment--even the not so pretty pregnancy part.

Congrats Chelsea! That's so exciting. Glad you are over the worst. I'm pretty afraid to do 4. I'm loving 3 now, but Mack is still so easy, so we'll see how things go when he's older. Faith's dance recital was so cute. My girls had to watch it twice. :)
