Thank you so much for your congratulations. Excited doesn't even begin to describe the anticipation we are feeling regarding this little one who will be joining us the first week in March!
The day I found out about Baby G I bought him/her The Jesus Storybook Bible. The tagline says "every story whispers His Name." That just gives me such comfort everytime I read it. I can't wait for us to read it to and teach Baby G how even his/her story whispers God's Name.
Uh-oh, pregnancy hormone moment. Let me grab a Kleenex.
OK, that's better.
That book is actually how I told Brad that we were having a baby. We had previously discussed gifting each other with new Bibles for our anniversary. As soon as I got home that afternoon I handed it to him and said, "I hope it's okay if I give you yours early. I think you'll be reading this one A LOT!"
{I then bought him another Bible sans pictures for our anniversary, in case you were wondering.}
We plan on finding out whether Baby G is a boy or girl. Everyone is allowed their own opinion on the matter so mine is this: I figure you can either be surprised at 20 weeks or 40 weeks, but either way it's still a surprise. And I like to know my surprises early as my husband will attest to how much enjoyment I get at Christmastime trying to guess what he bought me. {It's a very fun game to me--a bit of an irritant to him.} I'm 13 weeks along at this point, so we're not too far off from knowing.
With the exception of this past week, I have had no morning sickness. I'm praising God for meeting this need because I have no idea how morning sickness would've worked with a 100 mile roundtrip commute everyday. Mostly I have been tired, exhausted, worn out, spent, or laid to waste at the end of the day. However you want to put it, if you called my house after 7:30, I didn't answer because I was asleep. I feel like I'm turning a corner though, so now if I don't answer, I'm probably just screening my calls. ;)
Otherwise, we're doing really great and having fun telling everyone we know!

No morning sickness = "boy" in my experience! So happy for you you guys!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh....I'm so excited for you I can hardly stand it. I'm SO happy you only had the tiniest bit of morning sickness, it's so much easier to appreciate the MIRACLE that your body is performing when you're not on the bathroom floor.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Enjoy every minute of your pregnancy. It will be over before you know it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a boy, and Brad thinks it's a girl. We'll see!
