If this is a girl...I'm in big trouble!

I was so good at keeping a journal during Rowan's pregnancy.  I would write at least a few times a week and she even has a half complete baby book. With Oscar, I actually went out and bought a similar journal to Rowan's.   I'm happy to say, his journal is at least half full and his baby book is about a quarter finished.  Wally did not get his own journal.  And a baby book? Yeah.  Never even crossed my mind until this very moment.   I DID write a few things down - he'll just have to dig through a journal that I very loosely keep about my own "development" and find tid-bits of his FETAL development.

Well, this babe - nada, nothing, zero, didn't happen - and there are only 10 weeks left!  I did a belly cast with the 2 oldest - we missed Wally because he came earlier than expected. I tell myself that it's OK because luckily Wally came out a boy.  Boys don't care about that kind of thing.  Right?  RIGHT!?

Which brings me to this thought - if I am having a girl - I am in serious trouble!  No journal, no pictures, and probably no belly cast. In my own family of origin, the girls are the ones who care about that kind of thing when they get older.  crap.  Ahhh!- is there no end to mama guilt?

So here is an attempt at making up for lost time.  A blog about being a mama to 3, soon to be 4, children in Duluth.  I don't know if I can fudge dates and make it look like I posted things months ago??  If not, oh well.  I'll just go back and find what I did write down/photograph and post away!

Baby #4 ~ 30 weeks!

8-10 weeks till baby!  Plenty of time ;)
