My Parents are coming today, Do you think they'll notice...

The extra weight I have gained right around the middle part of my body? That's right Farr baby #4 is well on its way. I am 16 weeks along and counting every minute.

Why have I waited so long to tell my parents and many of you? Well I get really sick during my pregnancies, and my parents have always been here to bail me out. When we found out on New Years Day, I knew that with my parents being on a mission and with their big plans to visit all my brothers, there was no way they were going to be able to come and help. So I formed a plan to tell as few people as possible. You would be amazed at how news travels, and I didn't want my parents to find out and worry. So, I am hoping that when they see us at the airport they will be surprised, but not that I am fat...I hope they will be able to see that they will soon have another Farr baby to love. I am also hoping for a little bit of PRIDE from them...PRIDE in the fact that I was able to do this pregnancy (at least the first and hardest part) without them.

To John's side of the family, and especially his parents, we are glad you didn't have to worry either and are hoping you are excited for us too. Please don't tell the rest of the family...we are hoping they find out by looking at our blog and then will look more often to see what things are actually happening with us.

Are we Happy? Was it planned? We are very HAPPY! We knew the second we took the test that even though we hadn't planned to get pregnant right then, that it is exactly what the Lord wants for us. We knew when I was pregnant with Deeken that there would be one more. We are glad that even though it will be tough in John's first year we have had confirmation that this is the right time.

Well I got to leave to the airport to get my parents. Stay tuned to see if they think I am fat or if they get it!

(PS I hate this pic. I'm sticking out my butt and tummy and my lens cap is in my back pocket...but I can't complain when Micah was the photographer.)

Congrats!! So many fun and exciting things are happening at the Farr house. I hope your parents and family are all surprised and very happy for you. Can't wait to hear tomorrows news too. Thanks for keeping such a fun blog so I can keep up on what is happening in your life. With the blog it doesn't matter how many miles separate us. Your kids are so cute and fun. Have fun with your parents.

Congratulations on the baby and the match. I think all of those sound like great places to match. I am trying to talk Crystal into going to a residency program in Georgia. No dice though, she is a Yankee. And if no ones told you Crystal and I are having a little girl, I am very excited. Have john give me a call some time. Tyler.

WHAT?!?!? I can't believe it...you've been suffering this whole time and you didn't tell anyone? I can't believe you're only 1 1/2 months behind me! I guess we'll have to see if you'll be around (though it sounds at the least you will be in Spokane). Congratulations! I'm looking forward to hearing what they had to say. I don't know if they will really be able to tell though...you still look pretty tiny. I hope you haven't been as sick this time....it would be nice to have the last one (if that's the plan) a nice one. Talk to you soon!

I have to say, when I found out I was very impressed that you have done this on your own. I always knew you could. Although not having a choice does help that. I am very proud of you and can't wait for the new farr addition to the family. Your and amazing mom. Love you more.

Congratulations Aim. I am proud of you for doing it on your own, with Johns help of course.

Love ya,
Kev

Yeah! Congratulations. I am so excited for you guys! You and I will be the mamas of 4 little ones. It is so much fun. I never would have guessed. Also, by looking at your pictures your parents may not even notice. You are so tiny!
Good luck today. Can't wait to hear where you will be going!

I agree that you are both super sneaky.
But we love the surprise and addition.
Being with you and having you share the news with us is wonderful.
Congratulations on the new expectations.
