Yes Yes You all sensed it!


So here I am pregnant again! It is strange the number of times I have already been asked, "So are you happy about it?" Um, yes! Like I've said before, when #3 came along that was a tough one, but after that it seemed to be smooth sailing. My husband is incredible, helpful, caring, hard-working, the list goes on and on. Obviously I couldn't do this successfully without him! And God, of course. He gives me the peace to know that I can do it even when I have tough days. That we have a roof over our heads and food to eat has never been an issue even though we are not rolling in the dough. He always provides, and we trust him completely.
Pregnancy can be tough. I have thrown up twice. I would like to sleep all day. I'm afraid of hemorrhoids and hernias- only because I've experienced both. TMI??? Maybe, but you'll want to stay tuned!

Due date August 9. I've never had one in the summer, I can just see the sweat rolling off my swollen body as we speak. Ugh.

This pic was taken a couple days ago, the night we told Laurie we were expecting. Of course I had to have Casey take a picture of us together. I think it's funny that at one point this month all 3 of my sisters-in-law and I were pregnant at the same time!

Do you have a maternity bathing suit? I didn't think being pregnant in the summer was bad - and I was in KY with over 100 degree weather. It's actually nice to wear flip flops and stuff. Of course I wished it was winter when I gained 60 pounds and had HUGE feet and legs and wanted to hide them. BUT . . . that won't happen to you. I'm really happy for you guys! Did Casey tell you what I said when Ben told me you were pregnant? I feel kinda bad about it.

Kara said...

Steph- I know you were sick with both, and I have it really mild. I don't know how you did it. Thank you for your prayers.

Kelly- we laughed our butts off, only because it is true! Wink wink!!!!!

Jenny- Kelly made some comment about horn-dogs, can you believe that?!?! Out of Kelly Glupker's mouth!!!

Amanda- I know you will be at my beck and call! The short hair is a blessing already, and I can just taste the casseroles now... Mmmmmm.

Kelly Glupker said...

KARA! You didn't have to put that on the world-wide-web!
I'm just thankful that as a married couple, you have such an active relationship.

Jenny said...

Congratulations! What great news! Hope you feel better soon!

Josh said...

See, generally, I just like to tell people me and Jenny do it a lot, as proof that we do it a lot. I guess I never really thought about constantly having kids as proof that we do it a lot. Frankly, I like my way better, but to each his/her own.

Alice said...

As more proof and egg is only "open" for a 24 hours! I can't keep up with that pace! It took a year to have andrew! You guys are a league all your own!! :)

Amanda Irene said...

Its me amanda I am alice in my big loser club. Sorry!

Chris said...

So, how come I had to find this out on the internet??? Kara, didn't I just ask you last Sunday when you were having your next one? You could have told me then!!

Congratulations Casey and Kara!!

Congratulations!!! How great for you guys! Send some of your good luck my way!!

Kara said...

Chris, I had point-blank lied to a number of people. We (Casey and I) had agreed to wait until I had my doctor appointment until we told anybody. Well, that was a tough one because I had my appointment a little later than usual, so I just kept hedging, and hedging... you people need to stop cornering me with the pregnancy questions!!!! :)
It is so wonderful to know I have so many caring friends out there- we love you all.

Kara, No No we didn't "all" sense it. Congratulations! You are even 2 weeks ahead of me. We'll grow large and in charge side by side. I actually am excited to be pregnant in the summer this time. We get to go outside and enjoy fresh air. Yeah! I am happy for you, and sorry that you aren't feeling so well. See you soon!

TraceyLD said...

I'm happy for you all!

I wonder who the person is that responded before me. It's not me!

Kara said...

I must be Heather M. She is due Aug 31 I believe!!!!!

Jackie said...

Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! How awesome for you guys.
Summer pregnancy isn't fun (Kaitlyn was born in September), but it is do-able. I ate tons of popsicles and played in the sprinkler with Jacob a lot.
Count me in for food too. A good casserole is never more than a friend away.
