I haven't written in a little while because I'm actually trying not to think about my pregnancy too much. I know that sounds silly. I guess I should say I'm trying not to dwell on it. If I do. . .I'll end up counting the hours until I'm at 12 weeks - my next milestone. So instead I just keep trying to focus on other things. It's not really working.
Doesn't sound very "faith-filled" does it? Well I don't claim to have it all down pat yet. But I'm working on it.
Things are going really well. I don't really FEEL pregnant. Even my slight nausea has pretty much stopped. I'm a bit tired but not as much as a few weeks ago. So I just keep trusting that little one is growing inside me. . .even though there is little to no sign of them.
I'll be 10 weeks in a few days. One of my friends told me her doctor told her it was safe to tell the world at 10 weeks. So that made me feel a bit excited. Isn't funny how I'm gauging my excitement on when it's ok to tell the world? And of course, when I get to start wearing maternity clothes!
Dave and I have begun dreaming about the nursery and our plans for the next 6-9 months as we look to welcome a child into our lives. It's been fun to take little baby steps towards being completely unguarded about the whole thing. I know the time will come when I can shout it from the rooftops.
Until then, I suppose I'll enjoy the somewhat secret thought that every day I carry with me a life that will soon change mine.

Congratulations! God bless you three.
I am excited for you. After two years of marriage my husband had testicular cancer. Between the treatment for that and my lack of ovulation, we were told we couldn't have children. I even took Clomid for a few months, to no avail. About a year later, after much prayer and faith, I became pregnant and had a lovely baby girl. But that's not the end of the story. When she was 11 months old we found out that we were 16 WEEKS pregnant with our second daughter. They are now teenagers, best friends, and only a year apart in school. I also had a miscarriage and know the heartache that brings. I am praying for you to enjoy the pregnancy and to have peace.
