Boom. There it is.

Well, we wanted to wait until we got E home to officially 'announce' that we are expecting Boswell kiddo number 4 in November. 
Here I am in all of my 32 weeks preggo glory.....

When we first found out I was pregnant, I was terrified. Not of having our 4th child, but of NOT having our fourth child. After all the loss and heart ache we endured over the last few years, being pregnant again petrified me. We knew nothing was guaranteed. We knew we wanted this baby.badly. We knew it would be a long road of worry. But ultimately, we knew God's plan was best whatever that might look like. The first 13 weeks seemed to last for.ev.er. I was considered high risk up to 13 weeks. Each passing day brought some relief. 8 weeks turned into 13 weeks. 13 weeks turned into 20 weeks. 20 weeks into 30 weeks and here we are. 32 weeks. And we are in awe. In awe of all the movements I feel {and Trey can see!} In awe that God chose this journey for us. In awe of how quickly He brought E home so we can prepare for this new joy. Our hearts are full. {along with our house! }

Ok-here are the stats I get asked about daily:

No, this baby was not planned by us. But thankfully it was by Him.

Baby's sue date is November 19th (4 days after Trenner's birthday!) 

We do not know baby Boswell's gender. I've done the Chinese gender chart twice. Got boy once and girl once. Go figure.... Although, my OB is guessing a girl! We'll see!!

Yes, the boys are super stoked to have another baby! They go back and forth between wanting a brother or sister....

The baby and Edna will share a room. The baby will be in our room for awhile (easier feedings!) but eventually they will share...

Traveling pregnant was relatively easy other than the long flights and sprinting through numerous airports. I'm sure that was fun to watch. 8 month preggo lady. Running. Eesh.

Yes, we will have our hands full. Yes, things will be hard at times. Yes, life will be crazy. Crazy good....
