As with all my pregnancies this one is also high risk. I've had weekly appointments for what seems like forever...but it's only been 4 weeks. I've gotten the whole "talking to" from my doctors. One specific doctor told me..."The rule for your pregnancy should be, if it tastes good....spit it out!" Needless to say not my favorite pregnancy motto. But if keeping tighter control helps this little peanut then I'll do my best. It was A LOT easier to follow when nothing ever sounded good to eat, but now that my appetite is coming back so are all my cravings for super healthy things like Chick-Fil-A sandwiches.
We've already scheduled my big ultrasound for late in October. That will be a big day. I sincerely don't care whether it is a boy or girl. I just want a healthy baby.
I have those occasional moments where I think...OH MY GOSH! Spencer is out of diapers, everyone sleeps at night, and right now with the older kids at school I am only left with one at home. I won't down play it....it so NICE.
But in that same moment I am so excited. That baby stage is so quick. I keep thinking this time around it will be a little different. I will have older kids to hopefully help. Spencer will be almost 4 when the baby arrives. When I had Spencer, I had 3 kids age 3 and younger! So ya, I think this might be a little different. I'm excited to get out my sling, make baby blankets, and go buy a car seat (and of course the baby). Ben's just really excited for the sleepless nights and a sleep deprived wife :)

Congratulations! It is nice having older ones to help. I think it makes a big difference. I am glad you are feeling better. Good luck with the diet:) Hang in there! It will be worth it.
Congratulations, my friend! Ahhh! I read this and I miss you like crazy. I wish we were doing pregnancy together here in Iowa. I hope things go well over the upcoming months.
I can only imagine it will be nice to have older kids this time around. Thinking about it, I had three kids 3 and under too! Craziness!
So excited for you!!
Congrats!
So so excited!!! Can't wait until your big ultrasound so I can begin buying/making things to spoil this little baby.
I am truly so happy for you! I can say that it will definitely be different--older kids=big helpers and it really has made such a difference for me (at least with Carter!)
You are a great mom--and this little person is SO lucky to go to your home! :)
Can't wait to hear what you're having!
Yeah! So excited for another little Fluhman. I will go to Chick -fil-a with you any time you have a hankering to be naughty :)

Congratulations! That is awesome news! Good luck with the pregnancy- I pray things will go well. I will be waiting to hear if it is a boy or girl!
Congratulations Fluhmans! Number four has been easier in a lot of ways because the "older" kids can can help a lot more than they could with baby number three. I'm sure Natali will be an awesome helper, although they can't help much with the sleepless nights--dang it! :)
