A picture is worth 1000 words

But we can sum this one up in one short phrase.

"My mom has morning sickness."

This is a picture of me dealing with morning sickness.  Apparently this is how my 6 year old views the news of us "giting a new baby" (getting a new baby).

But the sad thing is, that is exactly what I looked like for the last few months.  I always had my grey sweatshirt on with some grey sweats laying on our couch. You know you have failed as a mom when this is the drawing of you that your kid brings home from school.  Doesn't that person in his picture just look miserable...because really I was. (sometimes I still am but it is getting A LOT better!)
 Here is the rest of the story of the most fun thing over the weekend (this was written way back in March when we found out our surprising and unexpected news)

When I first pulled this paper out of Jantsen's backpack, I laughed so hard, and then got nauseous and had to lay down (right Kyle...?) but I have had this paper hanging up on our fridge right next to the first ultrasound.  Mainly to try and remind me to get off the couch so I am not a dead beat mom for my kids.
But they do ask me everyday how I am feeling or if the baby is making me sick. Both Jantsen and Kambryn are very helpful and sympathetic to my sickness. (Kyle can learn a thing or two.) I only say this because we have been joking lately how unsympathetic I am when he is sick.  If he only knew what it felt like to feel like you had the flu 24/7 for 10 weeks straight...and still are required to be a functioning caretaker of 3 crazy kids.   But Kyle I am sorry, I need to show more sympathy to you. 
But in all honestly Kyle has been really amazing. He always is.  And I am lucky and so thankful for him and all he does for me.


Well we are excited to be adding the last and final child to the Smith Family.  Even though we weren't expecting to be thinking about one for another YEAR, we are very grateful and excited.  Now if October can come quickly, I will be happy!
