49 weeks pregnant!

I can't take it anymore, I am going to have to go in for an emergency induction.
OK so I had the baby on July 12, 2009. Nathan Carter is now 2 months old and we are loving him more and more every minute. He is an absolute joy.
We had decided on Nathan or rather Nathaniel very early but ultimately decided on Nathan. We thought that it matched our style that made us choose Benjamin and Samuel (for Liam). Now we have Benjamin, Briana, William (Samuel), and Nathan. He fits in just perfectly.
He looks like Rich or rather his father Richard who passed away exactly one year prior to his birth. This made his arrival bittersweet, knowing that he won't have the chance to meet him.
Nathan is adored by his brothers and sister and we are just enjoying him. He is our last baby and a joyous addition and finale to our family.

A name for our baby boy

Rich and I have agreed on a name for our little boy - Nathaniel. Benjamin, Briana, William, and Nathaniel. Also known as Ben, Briana, Liam, and Nate. Everyone that we have talked to so far loves it just as we do!

Just kidding

We are actually having a little boy. The 22 week ultrasound was wrong. I guess we won't be using the name Leah after all!

It's A Girl!

The secret is out! We are so excited!
Briana is particularly excited that she will have a little baby girl to "help" me with.

Officially Blessed

Last night we told Rich's family about the pregnancy, after telling my family on Saturday night. Today, we went to the doctor to confirm that everything is great. Rich and I are thrilled that we are finally getting the last addition that we have been praying for.
When this baby is born, Ben will almost be 5 and starting Kindergarten, Briana will still be 3, and Liam will be about 22 months. They are all so happy for their new little brother or sister.
We really and truly don't have a preference about whether we are expecting a boy or a girl. We will find out the gender however, because we need to know if we will need to add a third boy to Ben and Liam's room or if Briana will be getting a roommate.
Our house is so much smaller now with all of the stuff that comes along with having a 4, 3, and 1 year old. There isn't a room in the house that is untouched. They have even taken over the garage, so we can't park in it!
Other than suffering from some space issues due to the additional Christmas supplies around the house, I have been feeling fine. Almost no morning sickness, which is a completely different story from my first two pregnancies, which makes me think that it is another boy, since I was almost hospitalized with Briana. With Ben I really didn't know what to expect, and the entire time that I was pregnant with him was kind of a really long blur. I also had more time to lounge around towards the end, as I didn't have any other little ones to care for.
My energy level has been kind of low, which isn't good this time of the year when there is so much to do. I will try to check back soon, whenever I find the time and energy too.
