Well, I've officially been outed on the blog. Arin, yup you read right. 2 teens and 2 preteens. I'm preggers. It was a bit of a surprise seeing that I was seriously considering being done having kids at 3... but I guess the Big Man Upstairs had something else in mind for us! I'm due mid February, Probably February 14... yup Valentines Day....if I calculated right. Since I wasn't expecting to get pregnant again any time soon I didn't pay attention to when that super annoying time of the month last came so the doctor is going to have to do an ultrasound to be sure. That is scheduled for July 1st.
So I guess I have to continue to stockpile clothes .... UGH I so want to get rid of some, my storage room is chalk full of them... Baby, Pregnancy, Girl, Boy, and everything in between... and then there are the toys... :P But I guess I will be waiting till I'm about 20 weeks along to find out what I can get rid of. Cause THIS time I truly do think this will be our last kid.

Holy Unbaby Proofed House Batman!!
OK, so honestly I was hoping it wouldn't get to this...
I was HOPING that our house would sell before I was forced to baby proof everything. It HAS been for sale since last November... of course the fact that are first realtor did diddly squat doesn't help.
Anywho, What would you do? If I put a baby gate at the top of the stairs again I have to drill holes up there... again... after I repaired the holes and damage from the last time we had a baby gate there... and when people come to look at the house it would be a serious obstacle!
As far as the CD's go... apparently I have an easy fix for that one... it's called shutting the office door. Unfortunately that would entail me staying out of the office too, to monitor how much my chillins injure themselves and their siblings. Mmmm.

Worries
I hate this time when my babies are between 4-7 months old. Not the babies themselves. They are wonderful. But because of my fear of them not getting enough to eat.
If you don't know we had a real scare with Gavin when he went to his 6 month "well baby" checkup at the pediatrician. He had lost a full 2 pounds and me being the naive and ignorant new mom that I was, I had thought that he was just getting longer/"taller". Well, after countless wonderfully fun medical tests (everything from a chest x-ray and MRI to blood work) on a 6 month old no real reason was really found... besides of course the fact that my milk may have come up short.
With Myranda I didn't even really try to nurse past 4 months old due to the fear that she would go hungry... after the first signs that my milk may be going out I instantly switched her to formula.
Well, with Liam I'm doing my best to do all I can to continue nursing... but I still have this nagging fear that I will be naive and stupid again and not realize what is going on until the poor kid has suffered.
So, instead of just loving the heck out of this age of my children, I spend the whole time with a nagging fear in the back of my head that something will go wrong and they will be hurt because I wasn't intelligent enough to see what was going on. And in my opinion this is the age that babies are the cutest DARN IT!!!
*sigh*

Hmmm. Maybe this is the reason behind my paranoia about my childrens safety... ie stairs/windowells
