Holy Crap!!!!

As most of you have already heard we found out that we are having a baby GIRL!!!!! I am beyond excited and am so anxious to meet this new little member of our family. The day we found out that we were officially having a Girl, Ryan left and took the older boys to father and sons and so off Cash and I went to purchase our first pink stuff! It soo doesn't seem real and probably wont until she in born. We bought pink pacifiers, pink bottles, pink onsies and went out the next morning with my mom and bought the cutest pink diaper bag I have been drooling over! And now its mine!! This next part is for me, to remind me that we are officially done after this one because I seem to forget how bad my pregnancies are:( This pregnancy has by far been the worst and most difficult. I tend to get migraines when I am pregnant but can usually keep them controlled with a little bit of medication, well the little bit of meds is not doing much this time around and I have been in constant pain daily. I have a headache all day everyday I just don't know from day to day if it will be a migraine day or if I can make it through the day with some extra meds which makes me feel horrible that I am even taking. My doctor reassures me that It is fine and I need not worry. I have been in the hospital 3 times because my head gets so bad that I cant stop throwing up and in turn am getting dehydrated, I can't move from my bed and can not function! I normally am up around 20 or more pounds by now but instead am down 10 pounds, can't seem to keep anything in either way:/ I could continue but I will stop hopefully just by reading this it will be a good reminder to myself that we are DONE!!! I hate to complain about any of this because we went through so much to get pregnant and all of my pregnancies are miracles! My babies are all early Cole 4 weeks early but 7pds 8oz, Crew 5 weeks early and 7Pd's 11oz and Cash was 6 weeks early and 6pds 12oz, I make big babies and thank goodness they have all been healthy I just hope and pray that I can start feeling better so I can be healthier for this little girl and she can grow as big as her brothers, maybe we can even cook her a little longer than them to make sure all is well. I am beyond thankful for this pregnancy and just keep reminding myself that in the end it is all worth it! I can't wait only 4 more months, but who's counting....

I am so sorry that you are having such a difficult time. I can't wait, though, to see what a little sister of Crew, Cole, and Cash will look like. Hang in there, there are good times ahead!

I am SO thrilled for you! A GIRL!! Congrats! She is going to love growing up with three older brothers to look after her. I am sorry you are so sick. Pregnancy is just plain hard and as worth it as the babies are, it doesn't make the nine months much easier. Hope the next 4 months go a little better for you and soon enough you'll be using all that cute pink stuff! :)
