Evening Things Out

First off, thanks to all those who contributed to my last post and confirmed that I am not the only crazy person who gets very sad about leaving their take-out boxes in a restaurant. You all made me feel a lot better about myself. For those who asked for the name of the restaurant- it is BJ's Brewery here in Mesa. I highly recommend it. A little on the pricey side- but totally worth it- especially if you don't leave your left overs behind. That being said, let me move on to the title of this post. I have always enjoyed even numbers. Not sure what it is- probably just one of my weird quirks. So I am happy to say that our family of five(an odd number) will soon become a very even number of 6. We are expecting Baby Phillip's #4 in early August 2011! Not sure of the gender quite yet- but I sure wouldn't mind having 2 boys and 2 girls. Secretly I believe it is another girl- but I am trying not to spread that around too much as Brad and Drew have already decided it's a boy and planned out the next ten years of sporting events that the three of them will attend together. I had a goal to be done having my children by the time I was 30. I will turn 30 at the end of July and with my history of delivering early- I just might make my goal. Four kids sounds like a lot right now, so I am just baby stepping each day. I have been a lot more tired this go round and have had some other health issues creep in that I wish I could have held off for a while longer. Brad is being a trooper picking up the slack and I keep reassuring him that things should improve in the 2nd trimester. That will probably turn into me saying things will improve in the 3rd trimester and then just plain things will improve when the baby is born. Oh well- we sacrifice a lot to get these kids here and then even more once they arrive- but it is totally worth it! I had an ultra-sound last week and am still amazed at this whole process of growing a human. It gave me a nice boost to see a little baby moving around in there with 2 arms and 2 legs. It lets me know all this exhaustion is actually producing something amazing. So that is our news- I am surprised I kept it quiet this long. Here's to even numbers.
