Eating Like a Hobbit

So for the past few months I've been eating more or less like a hobbit: breakfast, second breakfast, 11-sies, lunch, afternoon tea... because if you haven't heard already- I'm pregnant! Its exciting news for us in the Orem Hutchins household. I was 13 weeks on Monday so I've officially entered my second tri-mester, the good one. Not too sick any more and not too fat yet.

The boys already know there is a baby growing in mommy's tummy. If you ask them what they want they say a girl but if you ask them what they think it is, they say a boy. Either way, we'll be happy. My money is on boy too since the pregnancy feels like the other ones.  We love boys. If in 7 weeks I tell you I'm having another boy, PLEASE only offer your congratulations, no condolences. Everyone I tell who is not LDS figures the only reason I'm having a fourth child is because I REALLY wanted a girl- that or I'm just plum crazy. Lots of LDS people figure the same thing too. Not true, still going for 8 folks, boy or girl. When I tell you #8 is a boy, THEN you can offer your condolences.

P.S. Sorry we are sans pictures lately. I've been on the road visiting my family in NC and the computer here doesn't support my SD card.I'll try to update about that later on. Saying its been a crazy week would be an understatement. The kids are having fun but 6 under 6 is a recipe for ridiculous.

  2. You are funny. But why would people offer condolences? I never get that. It's so exciting that you are having a BABY! We're excited to hear what you're having in a few months! : )

  4. Congratulations!!!! Three to four is not that big of difference BUT.... it is hard. No lie. I never really had 2 kids so it has been hard since twins. Good luck, great to hear you are past the first trimester. We will have to get together when we come to Utah County. Of course when you get back into town.
