Where have we been??

I know, I am horrible at updating this. I have been so busy with the kids, Holidays and I just have not felt like myself with this whole pregnancy.



Well first things first. Dec. 30 Pat and I took the kids to our ultrasound and we found out we are having another little boy. Yeah!! Connor's exact reaction was "Yes, we won!" The boys could not have been happier, but Mara is still adjusting to the idea of another little brother. I am sure she will be fine and will become a second mother to this little guy someday. We have no ideas for names, Pat and I are horrible at agreeing on names, so my guess is he will not have a name until he is born. I have received some little "blue clothes" and even bought a few things myself. I have forgotten how small they are. I have had three ultrasounds so far and everything looks very good. This little guy is growing and starting to really kick. It is so fun to feel a baby inside of me again, especially since I didn't think this would ever happen.



I have started to have Braxton Hicks contractions which I had with the other three starting about 5 months, so I guess I am right on schedule. My doctor just wants to keep a close watch on them and make sure they are not causing pre term labor. We are not too concerned but it's one of those better safe then sorry things.



The other kids had a great Christmas and Santa was very good to them. I guess they must have been pretty good this year. It was a very busy holiday season with lots of family in town and parties to attend. We are still trying to recover.



The boys have started wrestling and have their first tournament this weekend. Mara does not have any extra curricular activities going on currently besides socializing with friends.



Pat and i are just trying to stay sane with all of the chaos around us but we have been doing this for awhile I am sure we will be fine.



We have a wonderful 2009 to look forward to and can't wait to keep everyone posted on the wonderful Ellison news to come this year.
