Update

Just a little update of what we have been up to.
Tim: he finished his 2nd semester of his Masters program the end of April, so only ONE more to go Yay!!! He also got a new job the end of March, less hours more pay working for Beacon Metals. Beacon does lots of the temple and church doors and locks. He is working in the Accounting department. He is enjoying it and I love that he gets home so much earlier!!! Tim is taking the summer off from school so we get him for 3 months it will be so hard having him gone again come August. Tim is also training for Ragnar that he will do in June.
Jenny: I am still doing school and am finally done with generals and am started into my major classes, I am hoping to be done next year but we shall see how fast I can get through these classes. i have my days where I just want to quit and just be a mom, but I know I just need to push thru and finish now. I am down to the last 5 weeks of my pregnancy. I am feeling pretty good. Although I am ready to be done, but who isn't at the end. I have been have random contractions so really hoping that I will finally go into labor on my own and have the natural birth I have wanted to do. Still no weight gain at all this pregnancy which I am shocked at but will totally take it.
Kaleb: He turned 5 on the 2nd of April! I still can't believe he is FIVE! He is doing great in school and loves and can't wait for Kindergarten. He started back in soccer and does amazing! His stats from is Dr appointment: Height: 47inches  Weight: 44lbs I don't remember the exact percents but he is tall and skinny!! Kaleb is such a huge help to me with his brothers and he is so excited for the baby to get here so he can hold him.
Jacob: Is a three year old. He is very opposite of Kaleb in so many ways and I have struggled figure out how to parent him. We sure love him though he is very loving and caring and so stubborn! He just started playing soccer we haven't figured out if he likes or not. He is not so sure about all the pushing to get the ball which is so funny because at home he is all about wrestling his brothers. He is way excited to start preschool in the fall and asks everyday if it is time for him to go to school. I don't think I ever posted his 3 Year stats so here they are: Height: 44 inches Weight: 45 lbs! He is a big boy!
Samuel: He is trying to talk more and loves his brothers! He is obsessed with dogs and putting shoes on! He absolutely loves to be outside I think he would live out there if we let him! His stats are: Height: 32inches Weight: 24lbs. Sammy is also binky free and is now in a toddler bed. I thought both would be awful but ended up not being bad at all. we had a 2 rough nights when we took the binky away but that was it. With the new bed we only had one nap time that I thought he was never going to stay in bed and go to sleep. He really has done so great and I am glad that I did both things when I did!!

Oh man we did it again...

Things are crazy around here, but really wanted to write about finding out about our newest addition coming in June 2013.
It all started back in Aug I had my first period since getting pregnant with Sam and since I was not on birth control of any kind, since the hormones and my body don't mix well, but was also still nursing Sam but only about 3-4 times a day. Anyways so I tend to have irregular periods so they are hard to calculate my ovulation so Tim and I knew we wanted a 4th child but didn't want to get pregnant until the summer of 2013. So we were trying to be careful and I was trying to figure out any possible days to avoid. Well September came and went with no period which I have had happen before but to be safe a took a couple pregnancy tests they both came back negative. Well we were getting into October and still had not had a period to took another test it was faintly positive so I was not 100% sure if it was accurate. So I actually had a Drs appointment because in August we found out that I had Hypothyroid and had been working on getting the right dosage for that also another reason I wanted to wait on having another to get that under control and lose some weight. The Dr did a blood test and 2 days later called with the results that we were indeed pregnant!!! We were excited but nervous since we really wanted to wait a little longer. I honestly had an easier time accepting this pregnancy than i had when I got pregnant with our Sam. Maybe it is because I had already gone through the struggle of an unexpected pregnancy had could see that I am truly blessed to be able to get pregnant and delivery healthy children! I still had fears with this pregnancy because Tim doesn't finish his Masters until December and the craziness that comes with him working full-time and being in school full-time also having Sam and #4 closer than I had Kaleb and Jacob although it is only 2 months closer. I was also not too excited about being pregnant at a weight I was not happy at and to know I would be just getting bigger as the months went on. Anyways I decided I didn't want to tell everyone until we knew what we were having besides close family and a few friends. I am not sure why i wanted to wait besides making sure the baby was healthy and such. This pregnancy I also decided I wanted to not go to my same OB-GYN not because I didn't like her because she is amazing, but I really wanted to have no pain medicine with Sam but ended up with an epidural because I couldn't handle the pitocin(sp?) so I decided to go to our family Dr in hopes that I will be able to avoid the pitocin and have the natural birth I really want to experience. So it has been a new experience but great to since he does an ultrasound every time I go so I get to see our sweet baby grow! Well of course the due date they gave me was May 25th since according to my period that should have been my due date but I knew it would change at the 20 week ultrasound when we measured the baby. So January 8th I went in for my normal OB visit and we scheduled the big ultrasound for the following morning, but not before my Dr said that we should see if we could tell what it was I was more than happy to hear this, well so he looked and said he was 90% sure it was a girl I was even certain as I could clearly see the 3 lines and nothing else this being our 4th I definitely knew what boys looked like. I called Tim told him and was just in shock that we actually might be having a girl!! The next morning came and we were eager to get confirmation that it was indeed a girl, well the first shot the ultrasound tech says it looks like you will have a basketball team, we were shocked, but he was healthy and we talked on the way back that is exactly what we wanted was a healthy baby! Also at the ultrasound they changed my due date to June 9th.  It took me a few weeks to adjust to it not being a Girl not that I didn't want it to be a boy because yes it would have been wonderful to have a  change but I love these boys and love this boy. It was just hard to have gotten our hopes up for a girl and then not have it be real. I had a big test and had asked Tim to give me a blessing because I was so nervous about all the information I needed to remember, anyways I had been really wondering and praying as to why we were getting all these boys. In my blessing I received the answer and know that my Heavenly Father loves me and knows me and knows that these boys are a great blessing that I need in my life. I look forward to meeting this little boy!!! Know if we could just come up with a name we both agree on!!! I was hopeful that this would be my last pregnancy but I have a feeling we will have one more child but we won't make any decision until much later. I told Tim we are not allowed to even discuss wanting another child until we actually want to get pregnant since our last two pregnancies have happened days after talking about being almost ready for another. I am grateful I ma being blessed with so many wonderful/crazy boys and look forward to the adventures that lay ahead with a house full of boys!!! I know that it won't be easy but I hope that I can enjoy most everything!!
