Baby #4...Yep that is right!

Yes that is right...Baby #4 is coming!  Was I ready...NOOOO!  Was it a SHOCK...YES!  A good one, I guess.  It took some time to get use too.  We wanted one more but not this soon.  I still have a baby!  They will be 18 months apart.  A little close for me, I know people do it all the time.  And I guess I will too!

My blog wasn't updated for 3 months because I was SICK for 3 months!  I have never been this sick ever with a pregnancy.  It has been so different than my other 3 pregnancies.  I was exhausted, nauseous, tired, nauseous, and more tired.  I literally spent a couple of months on the couch with Cooper playing around me.  It was really hard.  I barely could eat because nothing sounded good..I mean NOTHING!  I couldn't cook.  I couldn't even stand the smell of the pantry. It was horrible.   The doctor gave me some meds..which totally saved me.  I still would get sick but NOT as much.  I could actually function more during the day. 

My first ultrasound showed a peanut...a mean a peanut.  It doesn't look like a baby to me.  It was smaller than it should be for my due date calculator.  So I had a second ultrasound a couple of weeks later and it actually looked more like a baby.  The doctor scared me because she thought maybe there was 2 babies in there..that scared me to death. I actually had a dream I had twins and it scared me to death.  So I am thankful it is just one baby! My due was changed...which wasn't cool.  I had to go back two weeks.  Which was hard to change in my mind...I thought I was 8 weeks but really only 6!  I am now ok with it.  My due date is May 23 or 24th? I can't remember what the doctor said. 

So ready or not...the final Redford Baby is on it's way!

I thought that's what I saw on your Christmas card!!! That is SOOOOOOO awesome! We have tried IVF 3 times since Lindsey was born (she's 2 next week) and none have worked. I was shocked and VERY sad. I can't imagine being done, but lets be real...I just turned 34! I'm kind of sick of this part of my life (money, time, energy all into baby making mode) I'm trying to enjoy the two little miracles I have. I guess its all up to the Lord. I'm learning its not my will but his...kind of hurts. I'm super excited for you. When do you find out what you're having? CONGRATS!!!!

Congrats! I am so happy for you!!! I bet it's a girl. I was soooooooo sick when I was pregnant with Vivvie. I think it's all that estrogen that does it. Good luck!
