baby3

February is drawing to a close rapidly, and I must say I'm excited. It's been a tiring month, and sometimes even wintery blue. Even though down here where we live, winter isn't much more than a few cold fronts. I'm still ready for all things spring and summer. It's funny how our climate remains warm, but the feeling around is still slow and winter-like.

Well, I thought I would make a formal baby announcement...cause I know some out there have not caught the news. We are pregnant with Baby3. I am already nearing in on 12 weeks, and we just had our first ultrasound. The baby is already looking very 'babyish'. How exciting!

I have been horribly nauseous, beyond tired, and just plain cranky most days. I'm trying to be a happy pregnant person, but the truth of the matter is...I'm just not. My second pregnancy was an absolute breeze. I think our mental state effects it all, ya know. I was surrounded by wonderful friends throughout my second pregnancy and serving beyond my own capacity in an amazing church plant in Maine. Looking back, I can't help but think how the eternal bread was filling me up. We've only been in our present location for less than a year, I'm farther than family than ever, and there's also adjusting to a new doctor/hospital. Oh no...I think I'm complaining.

I'm hoping as winter closes out, so does my nausea and my pregnancy blues. I really am more than excited and blessed to have a healthy baby growing within me. It's only by His grace we are formed.

  4. Congratulations! How exciting to venture down that parental path in a new ways. Each baby is so different even when he/she comes from the same place. I totally identify with pregnancy blues--had that feeling for about four months with each pregnancy. Rest assured, you'll soon be holding a tiny bundle, once again overwhelmed by the beauty of God's creation of a new and perfect little life.
