Catch up!

It's been a moment since I last wrote so I figured it was time to continue. In my last post I stated that I'd just recently found out about a new addition to our family and although not planned and a bit scary it is a welcomed blessing. The fact is I wanted another child, we just weren't certain if it could happen or if the timing would ever be right. Well it's just fine, the timing is what it is! I have made it past my first trimester and wow was it different. I mentioned in a previous post that I wasn't experiencing any morning sickness.......well I spoke to soon! The morning sickness did rear it's ugly head and I now have a better understanding. I didn't experience that with my first two pregnancies and I'm so glad it's over!!

In the first three months there is not a whole lot to talk about other then nausea and blah. There is a lot taking place but unless you tell those around you, no one knows you're expecting. Well the cat is out the bag now...I'm not horribly big but you can tell or you just think I'm drinking a lot of beers. It's been a world wind journey so far. I had my second sonogram on March 30, 2011 and it was amazing. The first sono 2/28/11  was  just a small speck on the screen and doesn't look like much but the growth that took place in a months time was none short of spectacular.

To see my baby on the screen moving around and kicking brought tears to my eyes. I know I've done this before but there is something so magical about each time. I'm so excited for each new day and the changes it brings. I still find myself thinking "Wow, I'm pregnant" I have had moments where I become afraid of the what ifs but then I remember, God's got it all in control and if I believe and trust in him everything else will fall into place.

My husband continues to refer to the fetus as "him" or "He" we shall see soon enough. He rubs my tummy and talks to the baby, which I love!! We are in a great place, the kids are excited and anxiously awaiting the arrival of their sibling. My daughter who  is nine ask lots of questions and reads books about the development so she knows what's taking place and how big the baby currently is ( a peach). My son whose  older and more reserved (he's happy) he just may not say it as much as his sister does. Another big event that happened this month was (Drum roll please) I felt the baby move for the first time on April 13, first while at work and then later while at home!! I'm excited about each new day and all it brings!
