as of late...


If you can't read it, it says "I'm going to be a big sister in July" SURPRISE! Maybe not a surprise to some of you, but I thought I should officially post it :) We are expecting *gulp* number 4! This time round has been very emotional to say the least. A roller coaster of feelings would hit me full on throughout the day.... inadequacy, excitement, no energy, fear, hope, nausea, dread, shock... you name it, I felt it. What I'm feeling most right now (besides sick) are excitement and blessed. I KNOW that we need to have this little spirit in our home and that's the biggest reassurance. I wish I could remember that all the time when all the other feelings rush in, but it's getting so much better and I know I won't be alone. My circle of love and time for each one will expand and make room for this little one just like it has since I had Abby! I don't know how it works, but it does. I've seen it first hand and I've come to rely on that and trust my Father in Heaven.
So, the baby's due date is July 20th (same as Aisha's due date) and that puts me around 17 weeks! Finding out soon what this baby is. Thought for sure it was a boy at first, but now I'm thinking I have no clue. Adam thinks girl, he's just preparing himself and not getting his hopes up :) Poor guy could sure use a little man around the house! We will take whatever we can get, besides, I was number 4 girl so we better not be disappointed :) The girls are WAY excited and counting down. Aisha of course is telling whoever she can and then runs to my belly and says "look, you see that bump? There's the baby!" Yes, I'm already showing and feeling the kicks a lot!
We are very happy to share this news with you and are excited for this adventure in our lives!

Hi Britnee this is Tiffany Cook from our old married student ward!!!! We are only a couple of weeks apart! I cant wait to find out what this sweet little spirit is as well. We still have only 1, Blake and he is 8 years old, crazy huh! We have waited a long time to have another and we really can not believe it is finally happening. Congrats to you on number 4, how exciting.

Congratulations!! Holy smokes...number 4?? I can't believe we are old enough for that. It is such exciting news, though! I love reading about your family on here. You are such a great mom! Love you!

Hmmmm... had my suspicions! So excited for you and your family! You make the best mother and need another 10 of those little beauties running around! Can't wait to hear the news!

Each time I look at your blog I think how great it would be to live closer and let our bunch of little ones become the best of friends. Then at least that way Adam and Nate would have someone to sympathize with! ;0)

Congratulations Britnee! If I were a little spirit waiting to come to earth I would want to come to your family. You are a great mother!
