My Fourth Pregnancy...

I am now 21 weeks along (on Sunday I will be 22) with my fourth and FINAL child. I know I thought Edward would be the last, but the more Daniel and I talked about it we just felt that we should at least try for one more... if it happened, it happened, if not then "oh well." Well IT HAPPENED! I found out in July I was pregnant again. We were thrilled!!!
Daniel is SO hopeful this one is a girl, but it is almost like I already know it is a boy. TO be honest, I am happy either way! We have decided if it is a girl we will name her Eden Lilly King and if it is a boy we will name him Titan Alexander King. I love BOTH names and am excited that Daniel and I finally agreed on them. It took a while to even hit common ground on these names... well I guess I should say that even the name Eden Lilly is still in the works because Daniel would rather change the first and middle so it would be Lilly Eden.... we'll see when the time comes! We will find out on the 24th of this month what it will be. From there I can start planning!!!
This pregnancy has been hard on me both emotionally and physically. Emotionally it seems like at times I just can't hold it together, I forget things easily, and my fuse is so short. I try to catch my emotions early, but I know at times I don't... Physically I have gained so much weight, my back has gone out (which makes it extremely painful and hard to walk, sit, stand, lay down... anything), my hearing is having a hard time, and my eyes seem to have gotten even worse than they already are. I am SO not a fan of this nine month process, but OF COURSE it is all worth it in the end.
I can't believe between the yours, mine and ours (children) Daniel and I will have a total of six children. ALL UNDER THE AGE OF SEVEN YEARS OLD!
Benson and Britton are SUCH good older brothers.. I can't even begin to explain how much they do. I fear at times I put too much responsibility on them, but they love bragging how they can take care of things! My little Troopers for sure.
I am excited we are at the half way point already, I am due March 21st. So far the baby seems healthy as can be. Fingers crossed and praying we are blessed with another healthy little one.
