Family of Five Plus One=SIX!

Wow, so the Friday before Easter we found out that #4 was on the way...Needless to say...We were a bit shocked! We knew it was a possibility since we had an "oops moment", but were hoping that wasn't the case. It took us both a while to get over it, but now I think we are excited...Although we still have not worked out the logistics.
Such as, we have a 5 person car...and will soon have 6 people in our family. Yet money is tight...and going to be even tighter with a new baby in daycare. We are trying to figure out something.
At the moment, my mother in law has said she will babysit for the first year after I get off maternity leave(which I plan to take around 10 weeks depending on what my leave looks like when it's time!). If she is willing to do that for gas money, since she is the one begging to babysit the new baby...then that will allow us the finances to purchase a new vehicle...YAY!

As for the pregnancy itself, I have told my sisters and a few friends at work...and the inlaws found out. Otherwise we are not sharing for at least 2 more months. I know my dad is not going ot be happy so Im not looking forward to that one..but he will get over it and love this baby as much as he loves the others(well as much as he shows his emotions lol!).

I have not been really sick..I had a week where I ate everything in site, and now this last week I havent been able to eat hardly anything. But no actual throwing up thank god and not too terrible nausea which is a plus. I had an u/s last week...and measured about 5 days behind..no heartbeat yet..but it was super early..so no heartbeat should even have been there yet anyway.

I have another appointment with my new OB set for May 4 and Im hoping she will set up an u/s for dating purposes...and yes I do plan to fib a little bit about my dates lol!

More later....
