8 Weeks To Go!
In some ways I can't believe I only have 8 weeks to go, but in other ways it seems like a LONG way off! The official date has now been set for April 7th unless I go into labor sooner. They wanted to take the baby two weeks before the due date but I negotiated to just one week early instead. Now my goal is to grow an 8 lb. baby girl by 39 weeks-not an easy task! I was moving around pretty well until this past week when my low back pain suddenly increased several notches on the pain scale. So now the fun begins. The good news......baby is kicking like crazy, I'm still exercising and so far, no swelling in my legs and feet. Not bad for somebody "my age".

It's a Girl!
At my 20 week ultrasound last week we were blessed to find out we have a healthy, normally developing little "GIRL" on the way! I have known it was a girl since I was 12 weeks when I awoke in the middle of the night with a clear name for this little one. A name I had never heard of or known anyone to have. I've never before had a real sense of boy vs. girl and certainly never completely settled on a name before my due date! But this little one has been very different. It's almost as if God is saying "This little one is NO accident and I have great plans for her!" So at this special time of year, we are feeling very thankful for many things but especially for the vibrant health of all our children!
I want to wish all of my friends and family, near and far, a very Happy Thanksgiving! May God bless you and yours with a peaceful holiday weekend as you celebrate the bounty of His harvest!

Ultrasound
This was taken at 12 weeks. I will be 16 weeks on Tuesday. It still amazes me that at only 12 weeks there is a completely formed little human in there! Luke thinks this profile shot looks like a girl because he sees "long hair"!

Our Big Announcement
Well the time has finally come to share with the world that we are expecting another baby!! Seevers kid number 5 is scheduled to join us on April 6th 2010!! Yes, you read that right. I am 3 months pregnant.
I know many of our friends and family will wonder alot of things so I'm going to answer some of your questions before you ask them.
YES....this was a surprise (we're calling it the "bonus baby").
YES....of course we were using contraception......let that be a lesson to you! :>)
YES....we were in complete shock and I nearly slipped into a depression for the first several weeks. My usual severe nausea and vomiting did not help the situation.
YES....I will turn 43 one month after the baby is born.
YES....I gave away every last shred of my maternity clothes so if you know someone who has them, please ask them to send them back my way!
YES....this is our 11th pregnancy, another reason why 1st trimesters are no fun for us.
YES...I am getting my tubes tied after this delivery! And for the record I would like to state that it is Jim Juergensen's doctor's fault that Scott never went in for the vascectomy!! His surgey and the nightmare of complications which followed were enough to scare any man into self-preservation.
I know this is going to take a little while to settle in on some of you but we've had 3 months to get used to the idea and after seeing the baby stretching out its little arms and legs yesterday on the ultrasound, I can honestly say the panic and fear is over for me and pure excitement has set in. I vomited as recently as yesterday morning but somehow just knowing the baby has made it through that critical 1st trimester has eased my discomfort.
The girls are thrilled and hoping it will be a girl. Luke looked at Marshall and said in a perplexed tone, "But Mommy, we already have a baby". And he's so right. Marshall still seems like such a baby but he'll actually be 2 months older than Gracie was when Gemma was born! One of Scott's early comments was, "How can we not be excited about a baby?"......that was after a long period of silence! :>)
To all my high school friends on Facebook, I just want to say that the only way I'm coming out for our 25th next summer is if they have a door prize for the "youngest child!" Think anyone will have a baby younger than 4 months?
