It is always the most amazing sound to me....hearing for the first time my babies heartbeat that is growing inside of me. Our little Baby H4, we found out that we are expecting on December 4th, just hours before we left to celebrate Christmas with my side of the family.

Our first ultrasound was Thursday, 1.14.10, and the due date is 8.4.10. We are already 1/4 of the way through this pregnancy, and I feel so behind, there is so much to do! We are planning to re-decorate Kyndal's "Princess" room into a "Cowgirl/horse" room. We are looking for a good deal on bunk beds with some storage and the girls will share her room. This weekend we remodeled and painted her closet so that it has two clothing rods and enough room to hang both their wardrobes. Step one, check!

I have also started on a cross stitch picture/birth announcement for the little peanut. I hope there's enough space on the nursery wall to display all four of them!

Overall I am feeling good. I dealt with a lot of nausea in December but that is subsiding now (yahoo!) I am still very tired and have a very hearty appetite so I'm already gaining weight rapidly IMO! It's all for a good cause :o)

The kids are very excited and learning to be cautious around the baby in my tummy. No more jumping onto Mommy's lap. They looked at the baby's "picture" Thursday night, not quite what they were expecting, but exciting nonetheless.
