Expecting # 4, oh boy....

so, we have recently discovered that we are expecting baby number 4.  my husband's first reaction was to call and schedule a vasectomy appointment, can't really blame him.  neither one of us comes from a big family and we never really planned to have more than 2, the third one was a surprise and my husband's last attempt at a boy.  after three girls he had happily realized that he will never create a boy and moved on with his life.  so, you see, how this altering life event could come as a complete and outer shock to the both of us.  i really did not know what to do for several months.  to be perfectly honest, i had scheduled not one, not two, but several appointments with the abortion clinic, big gasp.......  but for some unknown reason, couldn't get myself in there.  now, i am not pro life, pro choice activist.  i think to each their own.  there is a time and place for everything and sometimes, when i watch the news and see these parents who torture and kill their children, i really do not understand why they went through the "joys' of pregnancy and delivery in the first place.  i think we are super lucky to live in a world or shall i say, in a country, where we can make a decision of what we would like to do with our lives, our bodies, our husbands (just kidding).  anyway, so here we are, 16 weeks and counting.  all the thoughts of not keeping this baby have finally disappeared and i am happily consuming all kinds of carbs and getting fat.  as to that vasectomy, yep, scheduled, done and over with, so no more accidents for us.
