4 Months Pregnant with #4

I still love reading all of the weekly and monthly updates with Olivia, Emma and Sloan. I don't think I have it in me to post weekly - but I think I can do monthly. The first trimester was very similar and very different than the other three. I was just as sick - all day and every day. However, I rarely threw up. Knowing I probably wouldn't actually throw up made it a lot easier to get through the day. I also could eat any foods. Nothing sounded awful. Unlike the other three, where I couldn't eat anything. It's funny - I didn't eat anything the first trimester with Sloan, but gained 15 pounds. This time, I could eat anything and gained nothing the first trimester. 'Calories in vs calories out' is not accurate for my pregnancies - haha. 

I will say being in quarantine has made it very easy to hide the lack of drinking, feeling sick, and wanting to go to bed super early (although I haven't been as tired this time around, likely because with no commute, I sleep an extra 1.5 hours). 

If I feel awful, I don't have to be in a meeting planning my escape to throw up. Instead I can bring my laptop in bed, turn off the camera, and not wear real pants. It's been amazing. With the others, I would go to bed around 7 in the first trimester, and now I'm staying up until 9, haha. 

But I still feel sick all day every day. The exact same feeling as with the other 3. So I can't decide if I think it's a boy or a girl. 

The girls are so thrilled and Olivia wanted to know exactly when we found out and why we didn't tell her immediately. We waited awhile this pregnancy to tell everyone and it was actually very nice. We planned to tell them earlier, but then Emma broke her arm. And then it was Olivia's birthday and I didn't want it to be tied to her birthday like it was a present. And then Emma had surgery. It's been a crazy month! 

Olivia is also begging for twins. Again. Hopefully she will have twins when she's a mom. 

Emma is thrilled and so so sweet. She has the biggest heart and can't wait to have another baby sister to cuddle with. 

Sloan has no idea what's up. If we say "are you going to be a big sister" she looks up, smiles and says "no!" Welp. Rude awakening soon.
