Hmmm.....I don't even know how to start this one. I guess I'll just say it - I'm PREGNANT! This really isn't new news to most people. We have quietly and individually told the closest people to us. I, however, have not been blogging about it and that has been hard! I have been wanting to talk about it but for some reason I feel like if I write it here then the whole world will know! But, since I'm using this as a sort of journal, I have wanted to write about this big event in my life! =) I have been very conflicted, but no more! I am stepping out and bearing my secret to the the blog world!
I am also conflicted about the pregnancy itself....but not in the way you might think. I want to be ecstatic about being pregnant and shout it from the rooftops! But.....you see, about half the time I don't feel well at all and it is hard to be excited when you aren't feeling well! I feel sick to my stomach and completely exhausted! Thankfully, I wake up feeling pretty good and continue to feel pretty good through lunch. THEN, the exhaustion hits me like brick....I need a cot in my office. Then about 4:30pm I start feeling nauseated and that lasts the rest of the night. I can safely say that I am not enjoying the evening hours of my first trimester. Hopefully this will subside in the next few weeks....
I told Ben that I don't remember being this exhausted when I was pregnant with Madelyn and he reminded me of the amount of time that I spent on the couch from the moment I got home from work til the moment I went to bed. I guess getting the same rest time isn't as easy with a 19 month old!
Lord, thank you for this little ife inside of me! Please help me in protecting it and keeping it safe through this pregnancy.
