In other fun news, I am now 17 weeks pregnant (4 months)

The sickness is gone, it has been gone since about 12 weeks (thankfully)

I wasn't nearly as sick as I was with Maya, but much sicker than I was with my miscarriage

Maybe it's a boy?
I had a trip to the ER back in January (not fun)...... I thought I was having a miscarriage, but it ended up being a subchorionic hemorrhage (kind of like a blood clot that forms when the egg implants).  Sometimes these can lead to miscarriages, so I had 3 ultrasounds by the time I was 11 weeks pregnant, and finally the hemorrhage subsided.  There was a lot of praying and a lot of crying during this time.

I really have no desire to eat bananas, deli meat, or chocolate (weird huh?)

I love drinking water from a straw, it tastes so much better!

Cravings: Cheez-its, Artichokes and Apples

A few changes we have or will have to make

a new car, yes that is right, there was no physical way to put 3 car seats in either of our cars, so back in February Brett sold the Element (tear) and  we got a minivan........... you can stop laughing, or judging.  I know it is hard to be cool in a mini van, but it is so functional for us, I am proud to drive our Odyssey!

We are staying in our current house, we just re-financed and right now just can't afford to move.  We are making small changes to our house to make it work for now.

Work, is the big looming question for me.  When will I go back after the baby is born?  I don't have the complete answer for that yet, and will talk about it more later, but for now I am going to take off more time that expected since we will have 3 children, 3 and under.

I have a lot of things to post about this week.  A birthday party, a baby shower, and family photos!
