I finally figured out why I have had almost no appetite, & why it has been so easy to stick to the south beach diet this time around. I've even lost 5 pounds. Looks like it's time to pull the plug on SB once again. :eyes:

Jennifer sent me the aimsticks that came back positive. It's all her fault. *lol*

dh is going to be so ticked. He didn't want anymore, though we werent doing anything to prevent it. I got my cycle back ONCE (last month) since Chris was born! Heck we only had sex TWO times last month cause dh was gone almost all month for work! Ohhh I think Im gonna be sick.. I really hope dh doesnt freak out..

So it looks like I should have 2 November babies, 1 December baby.. and now a January baby. Gosh darn, can I stay away from these winter months? I am gonna be SO poor during the holidays!! *lol*

Someone wish me luck telling dh.. Im gonna need it.. 4 children.. what am I getting myself into??? :eek:

:hug:, Cheryl and CONGRATULATIONS!!! :balloons:

Hope your dh surprises you with a surprised but happy reaction!

Oh my goodness, congrats!! How exciting:)

Congratulations Cheryl!!! :balloons: I hope your dh will react well, and if he doesn't, that he will come around eventually! Good luck telling him!

:hug: Cheryl...and a big Congrats!!! :happy:

Oh congrats!!! Kinda....:lol: Good luck telling dh, I'm sure he'll be pleased after he gets over the initial shock. :) (I bawled my head off when I found out I was preggo with Summer, it was quite the suprise. I thought for sure Tom would be very upset, but he wasn't, he took it better than me!) So don't worry about it, his reaction may suprise you. :D

Congrats and Good luck!! :D

:hug: Congratulations Cheryl! Ziona was a shocker as well. Dh took it better than I. I think I cried for 6 months straight LOL! I didn't think I'd be able to handle a baby when Lil Late was a baby himself. heck I'm a baby LOL

Good luck telling dh. If he's anything like my dh, he already knows but waiting for you to fess up!

Congratulations Cheryl! Let us know his reaction.

Congratulations! How exciting :D

Woohoo! Congrats, Cheryl! :happy:

Congrats Cheryl!

holy cow, mama! that's awsome! and it doesn't seem like your dh coulda been dead set against it. it can't be that he doesn't know where babies come from. lol congrats!

Congrats Cheryl! :smooch: :D:

Congratulations Cheryl!!!

Congratulations mama!

WHOA Cheryl! LOLOL!!! Congrats mama! I hope your dh takes it well. A ~happy and healthy 40 weeks to you~. :happy:

Can you really blame Jennifer? Sounds like dh needed to be a bit more proactive with the contraceptives if he really didn't want anymore! :) I'm betting that deep down he really did want another.

Congratulations!!

Oh my goodness.....yay!!!! Congratulations Cheryl, I'm sure Chris will be excited too :balloons:

Wow!! Congratulations!!

I want an oops pg, lol.

congrats and good luck with dh. my dh wouldn't be nearly as thrilled as i would be if i came up preggers w/ #4.

Congratulations!

Congrats Cheryl! I've been there, and now have a Samuel to show for it. It is worth it all!

Much love and happy and healthy 9 months to you!

:big hug:

WOW! Congrats to you Momma. :D

Woohoo! Congrats!

Ella's our oops, I didn't tell dh until I was 12 wks along :lol: He was okay with it though, thank goodness :D

oh my word! well, awesome C! i am secretly praying we have a v-failure here...call me crazy, my baby's only 10mos, but that's the only way we'll ever have another since my dh is done too :(

Congrats!

Congratulations!! I found that #4 was a piece of cake. :)

Our fourth was an oopsie baby. We were using natural family planning, but it was thrown off by the move to Colorado. LOL We weren't sure we were done, but didn't think THAT was the right time. ;) He is a wonder in himself though. heehee

Can you really blame Jennifer? Sounds like dh needed to be a bit more proactive with the contraceptives if he really didn't want anymore! :) I'm betting that deep down he really did want another.

Congratulations!!


No no no, I'm sorry if my post came across like I was really angry at Jennifer. On the contrary, *I* am thrilled. :) Dh will likely be less so. ;) I am not angry at Jennifer in the least!! *loL*

I'm still hoping you guy's are planning on an AZ move :)

Congratulations!!

:monkeydan

Awww, congratulations, Cheryl! :big hug:

Congratulations!!!

4 children are awesome!

Awww, big CONGRATS, Cheryl! :)

Hehehehe, congrats :)

So, did you tell Matt yet? :D

oh my gosh! Yay Cheryl! these things are meant to be- you'll do great w/ 4! :)

once again lurking in the sewing forum,

:eek:

;cool:

That is so exciting. Congratulations Cheryl!

wow! Congrats and I am sure that after the shock wears off your hubby will be just as thrilled as you are. :)

Congrats! I guess you'll be getting a minivan sooner than you were hoping. January babies aren't so bad- Maya was January, and now we're having another January baby!

Do you have any idea of when you are due?

OMG Cheryl!!!! happy/healthy nine months to you!! :) Ummm...I'm thinking you need a bigger car :kittypink

Good luck with dh!

Congratulations! I hope your DH surprises you with his reaction.

:D Congratulations :D

:hug: Good luck w/dh & congrats. I know how you feel, I've been there.

Congratulations Cheryl !!!!

Congratulations Cheryl!!! My uterus is jealous. ;)

Congrats Cheryl. I'm so excited for you. :)

I'm still hoping you guy's are planning on an AZ move :)
Me too! :cuc:



Congradulations, Cheryl!!!

Congratulations!

I didn't tell Paul about Furby until he guessed. We were at Costco when he said, "Are you pregnant?" I said no and burst into tears, lol. "You ARE, aren't you?!" :rolleyes:

They get used to it, eventually. :) Wishing you a happy & healthy 9 mos. Personally, I found adjusting to 4 to be easier than adjusting to 3. You can do it.

Mine too! Congratulations, I hope he takes it well!

Congratulations Cheryl!!! My uterus is jealous. ;)

:balloons: Congratulations, Cheryl! Y'know, for us the transition from 3 children to 4 children was really smooth. 2 to 3 was rough, but 3 to 4 was easy. Hope your dh is thrilled after the initial shock :hug:

lol, I had to eta I hadn't read Shecki's response before I posted . . . funny 4 was easy for both, eh?

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm sooooo thrilled for you!

Many many blessings on you and yours :D

Congrats mama!!!

Oh and I figured it out, I think I will actually be due in early February.. so I may have a month birthday break! (well besides mine- January 28th)

Dh took it fine. I said "we need to get a bigger car" him- "ok fine, you find one you like, let me know when you want to buy it and we'll go" me- "ok now. Btw I'm pregnant" him- "no you're not" and he looked at me with the dead serious look on my face and said "no way, are you really!?!?!" *lol* He didn't believe me. I guess I've pulled one too many april fools jokes on him. ;) Then he found great amusement in the fact that the baby will be due in February- the month we always seem to conceive. (J&F were both conveived in feb)

He's totally cool with it though, I think he's freaking out a little bit about the money issue (having to buy a bigger car etc) and the fact that we will have 4. His BIGGEST problem though.. is the fact that his brother will now continue to think we are "keeping up with them" My sil is due with her 4th yesterday. *lol*

Shecki.. I sure hope you are right. The only thing that I am praying for.. (besides another girl ;) ) is that I finally get a child who sleeps. Or sleeps through the night at a young age. Or that Chris finally stops waking like a newborn every three hours. Oooohhhh to get one blissful nights sleep. Why can't I get that?? *loL* I guess when my kiddos are grown and on their own huh?

Oh and I hope we still move to AZ. We're still trying. However, now I'm worried that IF we DO move to AZ, I have no one to watch the 3 younger ones when we have the baby.. that would just terrify me. Though I guess there is enough AZ mama's there I could call in a crunch.. not that I really KNOW any of you yet. *loL*

oh that's good that he didn't freak out! yippppeeee!

OMG Cheryl!! Congratulations!! :balloons: I'm so excited for you. You forgot to plan it with me though so we could be pregnant together again, lol.

COngratulations!!

I'm glad he took it well, Cheryl. :)

:hug: H&H pg to you mama! I can't wait to see your updates!

congratulations Cheryl!!! I'm glad he took it well.

Yes, move to AZ so I can meet you. The AZ mamas are a lot of fun.

Oh WOW Cheryl! Congrats mama :) I'm so excited for you and so glad dh took it well.

I'm laughing at myself though because I've watched this thread get bumped all day and figured someone named Jennifer must have linked to some fabric for sale on auction and you won the auction and were now trying to figure out how to hide this huge box delivery on its way to your house......

see I had this whole elaborate story and never clicked on the post :p

Congrats and may it be a blessed 9months and beyond!

Sarah

Cheryl, congratulations mama!!! How exciting for you and your family :)

ohhhh congratulations!! I am so jealous. I wish it was me who was pregnant.

Congratulations, Cheryl! I'm so glad your DH took it so well!

*lol* That's funny!!! The even funnier thing is, Jennifer never replied. ;) Maybe she's scared to read why I'm blaming her for something. *lol*

Oh and Jennifer, if you read this.. the pirate hats were a HUGE hit!!! :monkeydan

Congratulations Cheryl!! :hug: Having 4 is so much fun and like the others said, going from 3 to 4 children really isn't too hard.

Ok, I feel like I'm the last to hear about this! :wah:

LOL! Congrats Cheryl! WOW! Does this mean when and if I get to meet you in NJ, you'll be somewhat showing? :hahaha:

Fabulous news! I am so excited for you!!!!!!!!! Glad your dh was fine with it!

*lol* That's funny!!! The even funnier thing is, Jennifer never replied. ;) Maybe she's scared to read why I'm blaming her for something. *lol*


HAHAHAHAHA!!! :) I just did see it a minute ago, and started my own dang thread calling YOU out. :D :p

I thought for sure Tom would be very upset, but he wasn't, he took it better than me!) So don't worry about it, his reaction may suprise you. :D

I agree, Phil was the same way. I thought he'd be SO angry (even though it was 50% his fault! LOL), but he was WAY more excited and in to the pregnancy than me, even though *I* wanted another one and he really didn't.

(((HUGS)))

Congratulations! :happy:

BTW, 4 has been a fairly easy transition here thus far as well. The baby is the best I've ever had, wakes about twice to nurse and is a great baby the rest of the time, barely cries. Hope you get one of these this time, too! ;)

Oh yeah and hint, get the bigger vehicle SOON! We still haven't gotten one and now I cannot go anywhere with all of the kids in tow b/c I will not put my oldest in the front seat! We were looking for a used van, but it looks like we may have to go new b/c people are asking ridiculous prices w/ vans w/ tons of miles on them!

Oh Wow Cheryl! Congrats! Good luck with sharing the news!

Congratulations Cheryl!! I'm glad your dh took it well. :)

I have no one to watch the 3 younger ones when we have the baby.. that would just terrify me. Though I guess there is enough AZ mama's there I could call in a crunch..

Plenty of AZ Mama's here to help you out :) i think our oldest 2 are right about the same age ( I know Faith and Madi are 11/01)...

How wonderful!!

No no no, I'm sorry if my post came across like I was really angry at Jennifer. On the contrary, *I* am thrilled. :) Dh will likely be less so. ;) I am not angry at Jennifer in the least!! *loL*


Oh, I totally got that. I was joking, of course Jennifer had nothing to do with your pregnancy! Not only is that physically impossible but your dh would really be po'd if she did!

Shelia

Congratulations and good luck with dh!!

Congratulations - I'm sure he'll be happy eventually :)

E

Congrats!!! I'm so glad DH was happy too. I'm not "quite" really for #4 yet. :)

Congratulations!!!!!

Shecki.. I sure hope you are right. The only thing that I am praying for.. (besides another girl ;) ) is that I finally get a child who sleeps. Or sleeps through the night at a young age. Or that Chris finally stops waking like a newborn every three hours. Oooohhhh to get one blissful nights sleep. Why can't I get that?? *loL* I guess when my kiddos are grown and on their own huh?

Oh, I can so relate! :rolleyes: Furby's still up multiple times a night, too. Samuel didn't sleep through the night until he was over 3. When Brianna was a baby, people would ask me if she was sleeping through the night yet. I'd laugh and tell them, well yes, the BABY sleeps through the night, but her older brother doesn't! They were only 18 mos apart, though. In fact, Eli was born before Samuel started sleeping through the night. Geez Louise, how did we manage to have so many when we were so sleep deprived?

congratulations Cheryl!!!! I"m glad Matt took it so well :happy:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :balloons:

I found #4 an easy addition, too. The only days that were really stressful were right after she was born because the other 3 came down with Hand Foot and Mouth disease the next day and dh had to work (Military.) I was afraid it was chickenpox at first, and Gordy was still nursing, so I was stressed that she could end up with some of the newborn complications, but it was only HF&M and she never got it. The actual assimilation was a piece of cake. :) Four is nice because they can make teams of 2 instead of everything coming out 2 on 1. :)
