Cat is out of the Bag. . .

Yes, folks, I have some news, but some people in the neighborhood have already guessed. I have been puking almost daily and can barely drag myself out of bed in the morning. Yep, I am the happy (nervous) mom who got to hear the heartbeat of Millar baby #4 today.

I am having very mixed feelings here. First, I would like everyone to know that, yes, we must be crazy to have four kids before D finishes his LONG residency. I truly don't know how we will survive, but--survive, we must. My mom reminded me that this is a train I can't get off of now, so I better start enjoying the ride (so cliche', but so true).

For those who are wondering, this will make Roger and the new one 28 months apart. Not a shockingly close amount, but still close in my book. The good news is that after Roger was born, I knew I wanted at least one more--so here it is. Wish me luck till June. . . .

Congratulations and I sure hope your guts settle down quickly. As a fellow mom of 4 kids during residency, I take my hat off to you. :)

Kelli said...

Yay! Congratulations!! When are you due?

Liz said...

Woohooo! Sorry for the puking part of it, but yeah for the baby!!!

JoAnna said...

Let's see... Do you want sympathy pains here ("oh that stinks") or something more like a CONGRATULATIONS!! ;)

Lark said...

Wow! Congratulations! As hard as it is to have a new baby during residency, it would be almost impossible to have one when residency is done (we'll all be like 40). I have found with Mimi that the Lord has blessed us so much because we were bringing another one is his sweet spirits here - I know He will bless you too.
Hope you start to feel a little better soon!
Congrats again - so exciting!

Camilla- CONGRATULATIONS- You are officially one of my heroes (you always were before, but now you REALLY are)! You're also kicked out of the "I can only handle 3 kids b/c I have twins" club that I started :) Now I have no excuses!!! Thanks a lot. J/K I'm sorry you're sick, but super excited- what's your due date? We're coming to UT in April, so you'll either be very round and prego or maybe have a new little baby I can hold.

Samantha said...

Congratulations, Camilla!!!!! I don't think you're crazy at all. You can do it! :)

Congratulations to you and your family. Pregnancy news (personally) is always a swirling combination of joy, anticipation, full-out fear, and wonder (like I wonder how I'll do this.) Good thing God makes it all work out and we look back and say I can't imagine my family any different than it is.

Congrats! Hope you get over the morning sickeness soon.

Timani said...

Catching up on your blog and want to send you many congratulations! I feel bad that you are sick and hope you aren't sick much longer...which I don't think should even be a symptom of pregnancy.

Becky said...

Congratulations! What a blessing. I like what your mom said about the train. I've never heard it put quite like that, actually! And I agree with Lark. I always dreamed of decorating a real nursery for a baby, but by the time we have enough money for that, I won't have any babies to put in it!

Melissa@thebblog said...

Yeah for you! I heard the news when mom came home from Thanksgiving. Congrats. Sorry about the puking - nothing worse than that!

Juli said...

I've been out of it all week, stressing about Christmas already, and came back to your good news! Congrats!

Rebecca said...

Congrats Camilla! That's so exciting!
