houston, we have a problem.
oh mylanta.
quick answers:
- no, we weren’t planning on having a fourth baby any time soon. we were going to maybe adopt a few years down the line. but obviously God had other plans for us.
- yes, this came as a complete, total, unexpected surprise. but still a happy surprise, nonetheless. as phil said (and has said with each of our babies), “that’s cool. really? that’s cool.”
- yes, we do know how babies are made. but as they say, only abstinence is 100% effective.
- yes, i have already tried all the natural methods to ease the nausea to no avail. i’ve already thrown up. thankfully i have an in-house doctor who’s already prescribed relief for me.
- no, we don’t feel at all ready to handle this life curve. but we are trusting in God who is more than ready to handle this for us.
- and i’m just about 8 weeks along. what a summer this has been.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 🙂 No wonder the silence… Congrats you crazy two. Dave and I are just surprised at all that you find the time when you are both awake and without a pager attached… hee hee… Now you know our problem! I do recognize the Dollar store test though 🙂 Yay more cutie Tsai babies! Feel better mama!
Minna

Congrats! Oh, what a journey you have ahead!! 4 is fun. Having 3 siblings, I can guarantee it. The holidays will be great when they all grow up and have their own families. The morning sickness is one of the reasons we're leaning on not having anymore, but who knows… Keep us updated! What were the kids' reactions?
Nani
wow!!! congrats!! I have been following your blog for a while and I need to take the time to comment more because I LOVE reading your posts (and of course the pictures.
Janet :-)
woohoo! congratulations!!!
Kate Avedissian
ah that is why we haven't heard from you in a while, but that is such a sweet blessing. I sometimes (only when i read about your kids) do i ever regret not being able to have any more kids.
I hope the morning sickness leaves quickly, but i always feel that means that the pregnancy is healthy.
Jenny
i know it was a total shocker and you have plenty on your plate already, but seriously, what a blessing right? i am so happy for your growing family! 🙂
Dominique
oh me oh my!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm SO EXCITED for you!! I hope this one's a boy (just to even things out a little!!)…
YAY!!!!
Judy
YAY!!! michelle, that must have been crazy seeing that test over and over again! i guess you'll have to blog less but oh what a great reason!
congrats!
natalie
Awesome! Congrats! I'm just sad that I can't see another little Tsai baby in person…but blog is the next best thing 🙂
Lorie
Yay! Congratulations! Adam just asked me the other day if you guys were expecting #4 and I said "not yet". Too funny…oh how wrong I was! Hope your sickness subsides soon and that you can enjoy the journey to meeting your new bundle. I'm so happy we'll get to see another cute little Tsai! 🙂 Love ya & take care!
Michelle
Thanks you guys for the well wishes and words of encouragement! We are definitely feeling blessed beyond what we deserve and I'm so thankful to be able to share the journey with my friends here.
Brooke- glad I'm not the only one who can't see spending more than a buck for a stick you pee on! And has been our experience before, it only takes ONCE!
Joyce- yes the idea of a big happy family is definitely appealing. But we haven't told the kids yet. Only because mikey keeps asking for a baby brother and I can't have him asking every single day if it's a boy before we can actually find out. It would surely drive me crazy.
Nani- hello and welcome! Always fun to meet new friends here!
Dominique- we're hoping for boy too for mikey and phils sake. Haha.
Judy- I'm still hoping to blog the journey same as ever!
Lorie- we're rooting for u guys next!
Jami

let's hang out soon before the summer is over 🙂

INCREDIBLE NEWS! so is the acne outbreak from a while back before all this or did it mark the beginning????? AND you added a dog. I pray for your ability to handle chaos and that your body stays strong, unlike my body 🙁 BUT you are a great deal younger, so youth and God's plan for you on your side. I believe you share a great joy in parenting and you seem to have awesome support from your family and friends. If you want to see another crazy, Godly family in action check out our blog which links to the argentina blog. BLESSINGS SWEET LADY.

Stella Lee- congrats to you guys! welcome to the world of four kids! it is CRAZY just about all the time and my youngest ones go in and out of their car seats up to 4 times a day and never get a decent nap, but it's always a blessing. hope the sickness passes quickly….i can so sympathize with you!
