By now most people have heard of our good news, that we are adding an addition to our family of 3! Matt, Ethan & I are very excited. We know this is something the Lord has blessed us with as we prayed over this and prayed His will be done if it is meant for us to grow our family.
We are not very far along at all. In fact, we were not going to announce until after our first appointment on 11/14/11. BUT I am HORRIBLE at keeping a secret.
There are worries that I have and I must admit the night we found out I was filled with worry. Our first pregnancy, with Ethan, was not one I want to repeat. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, had to go on medication, had a C-section(which I absolutely LOVED). The worst part is Ethan was in the NICU for the first 20 days of his life due to momma not being able to control her diet and self. This has honestly held me back from wanting to have another child for a long time. This fear that gripped me. Then I read Kelly's blog over at http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ from Wednesday on worry. The Lord knew I needed to read that particular post. He never ceases to amaze me, what about you?
My worrying has been replaced with daily prayers of a safe pregnancy, strength and will power to stay away from refined sugar and carbs and support from Matt in our diet as a family.
Will you please join us in prayers, specifically for the above? Who knows, maybe I will lose weight during this pregnancy. LOL.
So- here are the stats:
Far Along: 4 weeks
Size: about the size of a poppy seed
Symptoms: Dizziness, a little nausea here and there, booby tenderness and exhaustion.
Cravings: Nothing.
First Dr. Appointment: Thursday November 14,2011
