Because of several complications, we've been keeping things pretty quite and waiting to see if everything is ok. At the 12-week doctor visit today, the sonogram revealed everything appears to be ok and on track. I'm still taking several medications and being monitored closely, but I'm hopeful everything is ok so far. We're still a little bit in shock. Ok, maybe a lot in shock. And drum roll, the preliminary indication on gender is . . .
. . . it's still too early to know. We'll have to get back to you on that one. As you can see, it's pretty much impossible not to let the cat out of the bag.
And in other news, Matthew had his first Pinewood Derby last month. Since Kirk is still pretty inexperienced in the whole ultra competitive car making process, we were all happy with a solid showing. As the picture below demonstrates, Matthew actually participated in the making of the car.
Matthew and the Wolf Den. 
Matthew took 2nd place in the Wolf Den. We're already strategizing on how to improve for next year. Ok, maybe not. I've reminded Kirk he's got at least 8 more cars (depending on the gender of Baby 4) to get this right.

Congrats on #4! What a great surprise. I hope you are feeling okay.
We never would have guessed! We're thrilled for you and wish you all the best!
You look great, of course! Glad the sono looked good!
Congrats!!! You look great!
How exciting for your family!!! Hope you are feeling well. Suzanne is pregnant too due the end of Sept. Maybe my mom is up in heaven sending them down 2 by 2. You look darling with your little bump! take care of yourself.
Oh, also, our ward only does the pine ward derby once every three years. They rotate through the pinewood derby, raingutter regatta, and the rocket so that you don't have to make one each year. I am so glad I don't have to make a car every year. Kirk should be a pro if he ends up making that many!!
As always, you look great! Glad the sonogram looks good too! Congrats!!!!!!!
The sono looks greta! Yeah! Just take it easy!!!! Kirk and Mattew did great on the car! One down way to many to go :)!

Okay...I just sent out my shocker blog post to then see yours as well. Crazy that we'd be pregnant at the same time. Who would have ever thought with what we've both been through!! I am so happy for you and you look great!!
Congratulations to you & your family! I hope things go well. I keep my fingers crossed for a girl, but remember a boy would leave you in the role of "queen" of your castle ;) Matthew looks like he had a blast at the Pinewood Derby.
Congrats Ashley! That is sooooo awesome!
