If you haven't heard already - #4 is on it's way! I had to put it here officially... I've known for a while, so it's weird to keep saying it like it's news ;) I'm not sure cat's count as a whole person, but clearly you can see I'm out-numbered. Just give me ONE girl!

I am 12 weeks along and things are going great! My past three pregnancies have been little slices of trial pie, so it's awesome that this one ain't too bad. Honestly, I think my gag reflex is broken! With the others, I would feel the urge to puke, and there was no stopping that train. This one, I can keep myself from throwing up. I'm not going to complain. Especially since when I do, after already bearing three children, my bladder is no longer in check and it empties every time! Yikes. So I really think God is being merciful this time around and I am super grateful.

As far as the rest of the goings on in our clan, Matthew is loving his job, Patrick and Stephen love being big boys and William is dying to be just like them (already!). And I got FIRED. I'm not ashamed to say the F word whenever I tell people because it was unjust. I worked hard and I was honest. Somewhere along the way I offended someone in upper management and they looked for anything to punish me for. I'm not getting specific online because we don't know if this is the "end" of issues with them or not. I found out I was pregnant the week I was fired, though, so clearly timing plays a part in all things.

Matthew's consistently being pushed to learn more for new projects and I think it's one of the aspects he likes about his job (except for the overwhelming kind of days). Lime is a fantastic employer and we're grateful to them giving him the opportunity to work for them. Matthew's also been able to go to a few REAL Salt Lake soccer games and he's loved every minute of them. I even got the chance to accompany him once and it was fun!

I only have math left before my Associate's is done. I already took Math 1010, but after 2 years, many classes expire - ugh. So I'm re-taking it, then taking 1050 next semester. I'm super confident I'll pass 1010 with a decent grade. I've been blessed to retain some of what I learned before - who knew? But if I pass 1050 next semester, I've got an Associate's degree. Wish me luck!

We are so grateful we were smart with chosing the home to buy and didn't take on more than we could handle. We all love our house and how God has provided for us, especially when we were cut down to one income. Pay your tithing people, it works more than man can comprehend!

Now that the cat's out of the bag, I can start blogging more. For some reason, I found it a challenge to facebook or blog without bringing something up about my pregnancy or the baby!

Hope you're all doing well!
