I have wanted to write some thoughts about this pregnancy, but I've had a hard time formulating my thoughts into words. I am thrilled to be expecting a baby. Jeremy is thrilled for me to be expecting a baby. Aliza is thrilled to know that "Mommy has a baby in her tummy." It amazes me how excited children are for babies to join their family. They instinctively know that there is always room for a new baby in the family. Aliza has told me that she is going to feed the baby and wash the baby when Mommy is tired. How does she know I will be tired???
I know I will be tired. This being my third pregnancy I don't have any wild expectations of glamor. I know how tough those first months are. I know what tired is. I have also learned that there are seasons and phases. Some are tough and others are not as tough. Some are even fun and easy!
I'm a person who likes to please other people. Going against the cultural norm of a 4 person family was a little scary for me. I wondered how my friends and acquaintances would respond. Two of my retired neighbors gave me the same response that made me smile. They said, Oh! 3 is wonderful and 4 is even better!
I feel really good. Most of the time I would forget that I'm pregnant if it were not for my thickening waistline and outrageous appetite! I gain so much weight--and it starts right away.
First sonogram is a week from Friday. According to my calculations I'll be just about 12 weeks by then! Time flies....

if i ever have kids (unlikely at this point) i would want to have more than 2 kids...my sister and i used to fight all the time and my friends that had more than one sibling always seemed to get along with their siblings better.
