A Reader Post

Not to bore anyone but I want to gab at you for a minute. There are a few of you out there who read my blog like real champs. Every redundant, 'how cute are my kids, please!?' and 'my husband is the best!' and 'can I please vent a bit here?' you read and some of you (bless you, bless you, bless you!) even leave comments to make my effort feel worthwhile- hey you were doing a service and you didn't even know it! I wanted to thank all of you who actually read what I write. By now I have probably lost all of those who just look at the pictures anyway which is just as well. I wanted to reward my blog readers by sharing something here first with you. Really, I can count on one hand the people who know the news you are about to hear. First a little tutorial.

Erin Might Be Pregnant If:

*She has her lowest # of postings in a month ever, and is likely to break that record this month

*Her nose has developed super powers. (Now I understand how those Super Heroes are blessed/burdened by their powers, lol.)

*She acts like an irritated Kate (from Jon & Kate Plus 8) once in a while

*She gets teary watching the children's show Charlie and Lola

*She smells that Nathan had onions for lunch before he has come within a 20ft radius of her

*She gags every time she opens the fridge, changes a diaper, smells left over food, smells someone had onions for lunch, or pretty much anytime.

*She is negative-imprinting on things she is over-exposed to: Nathan's cologne, over-played songs, the background on my blog. No, I'm not even kidding. Eventually these things make me want to barf.

*she is so tired she can barely make it until quiet time to crash.

*She smells an unsavory smell in the kitchen and 'tosses her cookies' in the sink.

*She won't commit to anything and starts cheezing everything.

***Nathan is doing ALL of the cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, dishes, and putting the children to bed by himself each night.

So umm, yeah, as you might have gathered we are expecting number four sometime mid-September and though we are excited, both Nathan and I are just trying to survive right now. When it comes to my pregnancies I have learned a lot and with the help of Zofran I have been able to keep the throwing up to a minimum -if you can call it that. Down side is that it does nothing for the persistent nausea that hounds me 24/7. Anyway, I promise I won't turn the blog into a nausea journal, but in order to keep that promise the posts will likely be sparse for the next few months. 

In spite of the above, I assure you we are excited, or rather will be in due time. Until then, a sincere thanks for reading.
