Oddly enough, I should have written this post ages ago, but somehow it didn't get done. I wanted to write it in December, but Tyler wasn't ready to share the news with everyone at his work, and they tend to know what is on the blog. So I put it off. Then I was going to do it early this month but another friend of mine posted about her pregnancy the day I was going to post, and it felt too copycatish (I know I am silly). So, I contemplated not posting about the pregnancy at all until I found out what we are having (some time in March) but I gave up. It is too frustrating to try to leave it out. Having a baby touches so many aspects of our lives that it is getting too hard not to include it, so I am outed.
The final straw was yesterday when I went shopping to get some new exercise pants. I have been a bit of an exercise slacker since the beginning of this pregnancy mainly because of feeling nauseated and having overall tiredness. No one judges me, but for myself I need to try to get back on a schedule. I went to Target yesterday to find some pants and I was not impressed with their selection or lack thereof. As I left the parking lot, I spied Savers and I thought, 'why not try there?' I'm really not picky and I found 4 pairs of good workout pants for less than $20. I was feeling pretty proud of myself and Tyler said, "You should model those and put them on your blog." That might be fun, except for one thing. Depending on what I am wearing, I am starting to show and some days I look more pregnant than others.
Well, that day I happened to feel bigger than most and I laughed to myself. 'Oh yes, I can just see it. The people who know I am pregnant will say, "Oh, how cute, she is starting to have a tummy!" and the people who don't know I'm pregnant will say, "Wow, it's a good thing she's going to be working out more often!"
So instead of a post about pants, you get a post about the baby. I feel relieved, lightened in fact. I have nothing to hide. Baby number FOUR (wow!) is due at the end of July.

Yeah! I am excited for the official announcement. Maybe we will have "boys" together.
As for the showing part - my friend so kindly said the other day, man you are pouching out. Thanks. I ate some ice cream today as well - I am going to try and hit the gym tomorrow morning. Water Aerobics - exercising with the oldies he hee! Congrats!
WOW!!! You are pregnant???? Congratulations!!! I would have never known except the tad bit of green that took over the color of your face when you would visit in the mornings at work!!! Actually, I am glad that you announced it. I wasn't sure who knew and who did not!!! I hope you have the most fabulous pregnancy ever!!!
I am certainly glad I didn't have to wait to find out THIS piece of news by reading your blog. When March comes are you just going to announce whether it's a girl or a boy, or are you going to do something devastingly cute like sending colored M&Ms? Keep me updated on the 'official' due date so I can make sure to have time off to come help out.
You're pregnant? How exciting! Congratulations! With all the stories I've heard of you two, I'm surprised it didn't come sooner!...just kidding guys!
Hey, congratulations! That's great. I hope you're feeling okay. Do you tend to overcome the morning sickness after the first trimester or does it linger? I'm hoping the former is the case . . . At any rate, that's wonderful and I'm very happy for you.
congrats! I think I had actually heard your news through the grapevine a couple of weeks ago. But, I am happy that it is out in the open now. And i am sure you are not big- please. I have seen you pregnant before. you are too cute!
YEA!!!! I recall previous phone conversations...
May I say it again: You are such a good person and mommy. Congrats! You'll do wonderfully with four.
Mark talked to Tyler a while ago and found out, but I didn't want to say Congrats on here until you said something about it. I kept wondering when you were going to. Funny thing is - right before Mark talked to Tyler you had posted about being REALLY tired and not able to peel yourself from the couch and I wondered then!! Congrats on #4. There is no way you'd be big....you're one of the smallest preggo girls I know! We hope to see you guys soon!
I'm sorry if I ruined the news on my blog. I'm really sorry I thought you had told everyone. I hope that not too many read my blog. But I'm excited for you and crossing my fingers you have boy.Or girl, Tyler and you make cute girls.
I am way excited for you! And for the record, someone in my ward asked me if I was pregnant and I was only 6 weeks!!! Crazy, I show the second I get pregnant. I hope things go well for you. I have my ultrasound neext week, but we aren't finding out what the lil one is this time. Yay, preggers buddies!
Congratulations!!!
