I Confess, I'm Pregnant

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.
