Well lots of people have been asking for updates on the new baby. Yes I'm still prego, but I haven't posted about it in a while. Mostly everything's been going fine, I feel prego, which isn't always fabulous but that's okay.
So to answer the most popular questions, no, we don't know the baby's gender. We actually decided to be surprised this time around. It's pretty exciting having that surprise to look forward to and in fact we haven't even thought of the name possibilities yet. It's not that we don't care about the baby or even that we don't have time to think about it. I just have this picture in my mind of how fun it will be for Cody and I to have this little moment together when the baby's born. You know, it kinda feels a little routine for us, the fourth pregnancy, and he doesn't ask as many questions or carry around the "What To Expect When You're Expecting" book all the time like he had in the past and I haven't decorated the baby's room or anything like that yet. So I think it gives a sense of suspense to a road already traveled.
The other thing everyone asks is when is my due date and that's a tricky-er question. Technically it is March 5, but the dr's said they want me to hold off as long as I can up to March 15 because the baby has been measuring really small (I've been going every two weeks for several months to track the baby's growth and for a while it seemed to stop altogether) and they've been a bit concerned. I had my mega ultrasound at 22 weeks and a fetal echo at Primary's and both looked pretty great, but they are concerned enough that I have to repeat my mega ultrasound, tomorrow actually, to make sure the baby really is okay and doesn't have some form of birth defect or that it is still thriving inside me. My last dr's visit was a little more hopeful, so we'll just have to see how it goes tomorrow. I anticipate everything will be fine; I don't have any crazy "mom intuition" type feelings like I did with Benny. But really, one of my dr's main concerns is that I might have to deliver early and I seriously am not ready for that. I've been crazy busy in January and February looks really stressful too, but those things aren't important. We just have to make sure that the baby is doin' fine and I am sure everything will work out just according to plan (I mean Heavenly Father's plan, I learned a while ago that my plans never really work out Ü).
So that's about it. I am going to make a blankie for the baby in the next few weeks and we'll go through the kids clothes and pull out any that we can reuse and I'll get busy on this massive "To Be Done Before The Baby Comes" list and I'll let ya know when I know more.

Oh Ang so good to hear about the pregnancy. I am glad that so far things are ok. I've been really thinking about you and hoping all was well. I am sorry there have been concerns, really, you don't need that and its just so hard to have things go wrong during pregnancy. I hope and pray for you that the US goes well. Please keep me posted (tamaw@msn.com) I'm here for you girly. How fun to be excited too. You guys are to good, we just couldn't but I can only imagine the excitement it will bring. Good luck and I hope that little baby can hang on as long as possible and get chunky. Love ya Ang.
We will be on the edge of our seats until we hear about tomorrow. And while you are at it, just have the doc slip about the gender just so I can know. The suspense is killing me!!!
Take it easy on the to do list, it can wait. This said from the biggest nester around, go figure! I guess I can relate!
It would be so funny if you and Brenna delivered on the say day. Your due dates are five days apart. We know it's a girl but she won't share any names yet. Keep your chin up, all will be well.
So good to hear everything is goin good Ang :)
We need to plan a get together next week to trade the baby clothes and just hang out! Miss you!
Everything will be great! I am glad they are taking care of you (again) at primarys. They are so great! We found out in November I am pregnant too. Due Aug 5th....seems so far away. We are going to the fundraiser next month so hope to see you there!
