a joyful nusiance

Well, you may or may not have heard....but yes, it's true.....we are expecting. We are due Dec 17th.

I wish I had more to add to this. I wish that I could figure out a cute little way to post it on here....but alas I am just to tired.

And sick.

I haven't mentioned the sickness.

This "morning" sickness which should be called all stinken day sickness has just not been fun. Yesterday I think has been the worst of it. I really wanted to crawl into a hole and be buried there. But today is a new day. I keep telling myself when I start to get overwhelmed with how I am feeling, that the sickness really IS a good thing. To me it's a sign that all is well and as it should be. If I wasn't sick, then I don't think I would "feel" pregnant. The sickness is a comfort to me. As weird as that sounds.

The kids are on cloud 9. We told them Friday night and at 1st they didn't believe us. They thought we were joking with them. (Like we would EVER joke!!) But when they finally believed us, Dada could barely contain herself. She said she was going to put me on the prayer list. Hunny and I looked at each other and knew that a visit with our parents were in order....that night!! So away to our parents house we went. My parents were excited. Surprised. But excited. Grandma S is for sure that we have to have a girl. Her and Dada are on the same page about the sex of the baby. Daddy and Brother are already for sure it's a boy. I don't care what we have. I just pray that it is healthy.

The next day Brother and Daddy were on their way to get haircuts and Brother asked Daddy when we will find out if it is going to be black or white. :) I thought is was sweet the innocence of children. Brother also said that he thought this was going to be 1 long year. I had to agree with him wholeheartedly!! December seems so far away! Right now I just pray that I can fit into my school clothes for the last 5 weeks of school!! SOMEONE said that there is no way for that to happen that I will be huge in no time. I of course am paraphrasing what that SOMEONE said. ;)
