S U R P R I S E !
we have been keeping the biggest secret of our lives over here and are beyond excited to shout from the rooftops…BABY #4 IS ON THE WAY!!!

it has been no secret that we eventually wanted a fourth {although zach has been playing the ‘NEVER’ game pretty hard to keep everyone fooled}..but just when this little babe was going to arrive was up in the air and most were thinking we still had a while which has made for such a fun surprise…and i mean to everyone including grandparents, aunts, uncles + even our closest friends!!

the big girls have been SO excited, virtually telling everyone they come in contact with now that there’s a baby in mama’s belly…they like to bring my tummy blankets, read stories, sing songs + lila spent the entire second half of family movie night saturday rubbing my belly and sneaking kissies. they ask every day when they’ll be able to feel baby kick and when they’ll be able to hold their little baby…watching them through this process has probably been my favorite part!

i’m working on a full update with the whole process as the questions are pouring in…i promise to get to them all in a full post, so bring em on!

the nitty gritty…
yes, there is only 1…we’ve quadruple checked with many ultrasounds!
yes, we are finding out {and actually already know!} gender…. stay tuned!
yes, we had to go through infertility treatments again… it’s the only way we can have babies!

…and a few random facts…
i haven’t drank coffee in over 2 months..it makes me gag to even think about.
i can’t look at a computer or scroll on IG for more than 5 minutes without getting nauseous…hence the crickets in this space.
all i want is verrrry spicy foods and crave curry….coming from the girl who thinks that ketchup is sometimes spicy.
i haven’t actually puked at all this pregnancy, which is a COMPLETE 180 from the non-stop throwing up the first two pregnancies
of course i’m measuring ahead and this bump is impossible to hide now…although i didn’t pull out the maternity clothes until 11 weeks which is further than ever before.
i fall asleep at approximately 8:05 and that’s only when i can make it to help with bedtime routines.
i’m still working out at 4:45am  and LOVING it…hoping to have a fit pregnancy this round!
we had ultrasounds every 1-2 weeks for the first trimester…and now won’t see sweet babe until our anatomy scan {which will be done at high-risk due to the prior vasa previa} at 20 weeks…and it kind of kills me..but thankful for a ‘textbook pregnancy!’
i’m already dreaming about kissing these sweet cheeks off…. we truly feel so blessed!

for now… we are soaking in all of these precious moments… this babe will be our last and we’re praising God for our fourth precious blessing.

the most heartfelt ‘thank you’ for all of the support + outpouring of love… we’re so very blessed to have such an amazing community surrounding us!

a ginormous thank you to the ever talented, ivory lamb photography for capturing these precious moments!!
