In my previous post I explained some reasons as to why I have been slacking with maintaining my blog. Yes, work is keeping me busy. Yes, life has been busy. There is one reason I have been waiting to share. The first two reasons are pretty good and decent reasons for my laziness but this next reason is the icing on the cake. I'm sure as you are reading this you have probably figured out what I am about to share.
On May 30, Chad and I found out that we are going to have a baby!!
Words cannot describe our excitement that night when we found out. We cried, laughed, jumped and down, we hugged and we smiled non-stop for the rest of the evening. We decided in January that we were ready to start a family so it didn't exactly take long :) We are so excited for this next chapter in our lives!! We will have our first sonogram on July 26'th. I'm sure there will be smiles and tears of joy. Each Thursday is a new week for me - Right now I am 10 weeks but not too far from 11 weeks! This puts my due date at
February 3, 2011. Some of you may be curious as to how my first trimester is going...I have actually lost 7 pounds due to food not cooperating (I'm sure you know what I mean) and nothing and I mean NOTHING but bagels tastes good. Bring on the bagels I guess! And WOW am I tired. All of the time I am tired. I am recquiring a lot of sleep and when I don't get it -Watch out! I am not showing yet but I don't think it will be too much longer :) We are excited for our parents to become grandparents and believe me they are beyond thrilled!
Update on a church home: We have tried different churches in our area but after our search we have decided to go back to our church home at First Baptist of Jonesboro. We feel like this is where God wants us to be right now. With our recent news we know that a lot is going to be changing and it's a crucial time in our lives for our spiritual walk. First Baptist of Jonesboro is our family and we want to share this time and grow together with them.
We ask for your thoughts and prayers during these next 6 and a half months. I will be updating more regularly now - I just had to get through the beginning :)
WAHOO!!!!!!!!
