The dry heaving into the kitchen sink this morning was the first clue.

And then I realized: "I'm three days late!!"

So, I peed on two sticks (just to be sure) and lo, the sticks proclaim: PREGNANT.

I am pregnant with our 4th child!!

The Mateo's eyes watered with tears of joy, James wanted to know when Daddy put the baby in my tummy, Jude wondered why my belly wasn't big yet and Jewel just shrieked with joy!

We are all SO EXCITED!!! I went around all day with a big grin on my face.

Some quick calculations show that I am 4 weeks pregnant with a due date of January 15, 2008---just 5 days after our 10th wedding anniversary!

I can't think of a better Mother's Day gift.

Let the morning sickness begin (eek)!
