#4 on the way

We went to the baby doctor Tuesday and after seeing my little precious baby with a strong heartbeat,  I am so excited to say that baby Bernard #4 is on the way!!!!
I am 12 weeks pregnant and trying to enjoy every minute of it. Bry and I have decided that 4 is our number and that we will have our complete family in February. I have had mixed feelings. When I took my pregnancy test, I seriously looked at it 3 or 4 times a day and just smiled and sometimes cried because I knew it was the last pregnancy test I would be taking. Also to know this is the last time I will be pregnant is a little hard/sad. I am not sure if it is good to make the decision while pregnant or after but I am glad I know so I can fully enjoy every moment. I am pretty sick ALL day long. My feelings are definitely moving more towards being glad that this part of my life will be over. It's honestly the best thing in the world to be a mom and have such beautiful, fun babies but it is going to be nice to move on and be out of the diaper changing and nauseated stages.
We knew we did not want another summer baby. Having 3 birthdays parties in 1 month this year was just exhausting. It will be a nice change and fun to have a February baby. I am going to be putting layers on this baby and bundling it up to bring it home from the hospital rather than a onesie and no blanket that I am use to.
Even though this is our fourth baby... it was just as wonderful and exciting to see that ultrasound and see that little heartbeat. Yeah for babies!!!
Some funny things the boys have said about the baby



On the way to the doctor Griffin asked "where are we going" I told him the baby doctor and he said "Is it going to pop out today"


When Bry and I asked Griffin and Gavin if they wanted a baby brother or a baby sister they said "a baby brother because we already have a baby sister"


I have had a few conversations with Griffiin that go something like this
Griff "so I came out of your belly too?"
Me "yes sweetheart"
Griff "was I a boy or a girl when I was a baby?"
Me "you were a boy like you are a boy now and you will ALWAYS (making sure he knows this) be a boy"
Griff "when am I going to turn into a dad?"
Me "after you are married in a long long time, and when you turn into a dad, I will turn into a grandma"
Griff "you want to be a grandma"
Me "no I don't, not for a long long time"
Griff "well I am going to be a dad on my next birthday"
Griff "was you a boy or a girl when you were a baby?"
Me "I was a girl, like I am now, I have always been a girl"
Griff "when did you turn into a mom"
Me "when I had you"


He sits and thinks about all this for awhile and then we have a similar conversation a few days later.
