Well, I guess when you have triplets and are pregnant, it's officially time to drop the ball on the old blog! I received a sweet note from a dear friend today reminding me that it has been FOREVER since I did any updates. And here we are, a few short weeks (give or take) away from the arrival of our sweet baby girl. All has been well here. The kids continue to keep us on our toes as their level of energy and endurance seems to increase each day. We've officially outgrown naps so free time is more minimal and every day it seems I'm greeted with the question, "What are we doing today, Mommy?" But they continue to be an absolute joy and we couldn't be more excited thinking about the fun #4 will bring!
We had a VERY long winter, a lovely spring and summer is off to a wonderful start. I've posted some pictures of the highlights.

Meeting characters Anna and Elsa from the movie "Frozen". It's all the rage in this house these days!

In terms of baby girl, my pregnancy has been great. I can't say I feel like this has been easy compared to being pregnant with triplets. However, I definitely am more mobile and it's been nice to have my doctor consider me "normal" instead of all the drama that came with a high risk pregnancy. To that end, we've decided that I'll be trying for a natural birth this time around. Of course with multiples, that wasn't really an option so in keeping with everything being completely different this time, I decided to go for a new experience. I'll still be delivering in the hospital, but I hired a doula (kind of like a midwife) that I've started working with and she'll be there with me the whole labor to cheer me on and I think she will be so helpful to keep me pressing on. So if you think of it, please pray for me! And I promise it won't be long before pictures of baby girl hit the blog! :)
