God's Amazing Blessing

Well, we have been keeping it to ourselves for long enough - I'm pregnant again!! I am 13 weeks today (March 10) - only a million to go! I have been much "sicker" this time which I hear is "good news" but am excited to get to 16-20 weeks when some of that should get a little better. Zach and I are just thrilled...we decided to wait a little longer to spill the beans this time, but couldn't wait any longer...well, at least I couldn't - Zach says I couldn't keep a secret from myself! Only 6 more weeks to find out boy or girl - the vote so far has been "boy" so if it's a girl it will be even more of a surprise. I am already starting to show a little which is exciting and disheartening at the same time - finding clothes that fit for work are getting more difficult by the day! (Maternity clothes are still way too big right now for the most part). I have however discovered maternity pants and am not sure if I will ever go back - any of you who are brave enough need to encourage me NOT to continue to wear these 6 months after the baby gets here!!

I think my favorite part so far was when Zach got to go to my last appointment and he heard the heartbeat for the first time - just the look on his face was priceless - I don't think he stopped smiling for an hour! He hasn't been to an ultrasound yet due to work, but he will be there in six weeks when we find out the sex. I will keep you all posted - please keep this precious little one in your prayers!!

It's unbelievable how the little sweetie went from what looked like a dustball on the first ultrasound at six weeks and only the size of a sesame seed to this - a real baby and already the size of a lime - only 6 weeks later!




This one is where he/she rolled over and waved - how adorable! I just kept telling the nurse "Isn't it beautiful - isn't it precious?" and I know she was thinking "Everyone thinks there's is precious and beautiful!" I just don't know how anyone can go through bearing a child and not believe in God's wonderful creation and His miracles....I am so grateful for this life He has given to us!

It's such a boy. Hopefully the chocolate milkshake from McDonalds helps you too! Don't worry, you won't want to wear anything that resembles maternity after March 10! Love ya both (all 3!)

Yeah! I've been waiting for you to post this awesome news! I am sooooo happy for you guys! I will keep praying for your little bundle of joy! By the way, in the beginning, I wore my pants unbuttoned with a shirt over them for weeks--which is kinda risky since I was teaching middle school! Just make sure you bring maternity clothes to come home in from the hospital--I didn't and the pics are soooo funny--my "loose-fitting" jogging suit turned into 1980's spandex pants! What beautiful baby pics! Congrats again!

I'm so thrilled for you!! What a special time for you guys. I always liked knowing that they can hear your voice in the womb. When Calvin was born he was crying and when I said, "Let me see him!" he stopped. I always felt like it soothed him because he recognized me. I just love the connection you form when they are in your belly. Congrats! Congrats! Congrats! I want to see some baby bump pics. Weekly.

Congrats! I know the relief of making it out of the first trimester. I wore some of my maternity pants after I had Mikayla, but that didn't last long. There's just something about getting back into normal clothes. I'll keep you and little one in my prayers.
