Hello everyone. My name is Stephanie. I nicknamed myself supersurprised because I am pregnant with my 4th child after my husbands vasectomy (which we did by the book, got the all clear from the Doc.) I wish I had a picture of my facial expression while I was reading the pregnancy test. I'm sure it was priceless. I know some of you moms out there must have experienced this same thing and I would love to hear your stories!

February 14, 2008 - I hope this pregnancy doesn't go this slow for the whole thing. I'm only 6 weeks pregant and I feel like I have been pregnant for months and months. I wonder when I'm going to show. Baby #4 has got to poke early! I have no stomach muscles left. Unfortunately, I gave all my maternity clothes (and I had some cute ones) to the thrift store. Oh well, and excuse to go shopping right? My husband is so sweet, he doesn't care. I hate to tempt God, but I hope I have another girl. It would be so nice for Kaitlin to have a sister. And, more girl clothes that I get to buy, Hee Hee! I love to shop! This blogging thing is so new to me. I feel like I am talking to myself. I guess that's ok.

February 20, 2008 - Well, I've finally given up the South Beach Diet. I'm not obsesssed with being thin, I wouldn't even call myself thin, but I worked really hard to go from a size 16 to a size 12 in about 4 months. Now, I'm going to gain it all back because this stinking morning sickness is killing me. I just have to have toast in the morning! And pretzels really help the nausia. My husband says I'll lose it again, and I probably will, but it's a long hard road! Anyway, I haven't made a doctor appt yet. I'm dragging my feet for some reason. Not really sure where I'm going to go yet. They don't want to see you until you are at least 9 weeks anyway. Well, I guess that's all for now.

February 21, 2008 - Today I am thinking about sports. My two boys are involved in just about every sport there is. This weekend we are traveling to a town two hours away for a big wrestling tourny. It's exhausting, all the packing, making sure I have everything. The upside is, every meal is in a restaurant! Having a one year old definitly makes it interesting. As soon as the wrestling season is over, baseball will start and as soon as baseball is over the rodeo season will start and then it's football season and I'll have a newborn. I have to wonder, can I do it? Will I have the strength? I have to be there to watch my boys, there is no other option. I'm their biggest fan and they know it. When my first child was born, I would never have believed this is where I'd be in 10 years. LOL I guess if we knew the future, it would just scare us. God is in control!

February 25, 2008 - I am so tired I just don't want to do anything today. My house looks like a tornado hit it! I just don't have any energy. My husband wants me to hire a house cleaner to help me, which sounds great. The only problem is they usually don't do a very good job. I've had several over the years and I've always been disappointed. It's expensive too, and if you don't feel like they are doing a good job, it just irks you! I guess it's better than nothing though, which is what I'm doing. I'm hoping to get some more energy in my second trimester! Sleep would really help, but my one year old daughter is opposed to it.

February 27, 2008 - My husband, Robb, is 42 years old today! It's a crazy life we lead. 42 years old with a 10, 8, 1 and one on the way. It freaks you out if you think about it too long. We're hoping it will keep us young. It will either do that or kill us, we're not sure which yet. Ha Ha! I don't even have a gift for him or a special dinner planned. I'm so miserable with morning sickness and acid reflux that I can hardly do anything. I feel like my stomach if full of acid just sloshing around in there. I've been taking Tagamet, but it only helps a little. Oh, the joys of pregnancy. I'm a whinner and I know it, but it's a day to day struggle just to function! I'm just praying that the second trimester will be better.
