6 Weeks

I will describe this week in one word: SICK!!!! Not just morning sickness, I got this terrible bug that is going around our house. I have only been able to take Tylenol, which was not that helpful, and the coughing was making me dry heave. So, all in all it has been a terrible week. I did go to my first doctor's appointment on Friday,and everything looks good. They will be checking my due date on Wednesday with an ultrasound, just because, well, I am big so they want to make sure I have the right time line. Imagine that, and I also am going to try and keep my weight gain under control with exercise, I feel the pounds already,so I am worried about that. Here is a picture of me at 6 weeks, people at church already started asking if I was preggers? Ah man, its going to be a long seven months!

5 Weeks

So week 5 is upon me and the morning sickness, is more like night and afternoon sickness, and when I do have it it is extreme, constant nausea, and dry heaving. I have been super tired too, like going to bed at 9:30 tired, which is very different, because I am such a night owl, which leads me to one conclusion. IT'S A BOY! My pregnancies are very different with boys and girls. If I am wrong, I will eat my pants, but, I am sure it's a boy. Speaking of my pants, I really can't wear them anymore, it's depressing, I can't zip them up. Probably, because I was only preggy 10 months ago, and this is my 5th child, explains, a lot of the early growth, I know it's just bloat, but it's kinda depressing. I couldn't keep it from anybody even if I wanted too:) Here is a picture of me at 5weeks. I go to my first initial appointment on Friday, very excited!

So Surprise!

Well, it might be a surprise to a lot of you, since I told myself and the rest of the world, we would be waiting 2 to 3 years. Well....guess what....I am pregnant again. That makes number 5 for us. James and I had originally decided that Sadie(4)would be our last child for a while for us. We both felt a sense of completion with her for some odd reason. Either way, the Lord had other plans. James and I both felt incredibly prompted to have another child, especially James. Which is very odd for the guy or any guy I think...I am usually convincing him. But, after prayer, after prayer, after prayer...the answer was always the same. ITS TIME!!!! So we listened, and I did not think we would get pregnant so soon, mostly because it took us a while to get pregnant with Sadie, and my body was acting quite odd for a couple months beforehand, so I thought it would take awhile. Well...when the Lord says now, he meant now. So now it is. I am actually excited, not overwhelmed, I just feel extremely blessed and incredibly grateful for this new opportunity that has been presented to us because of the Lord. I really have no anxiety, you really can't when you have had such a clear and very direct answer from above. So here we go. As of today my due date is June 9, 2012. I will have a better idea when I go into the doctor tomorrow. I am 4 weeks pregnant.
