BIG NEWS!!!

We are having a BABY!! We are 8 weeks along today and are due on November 4th!! That's right, we will have a little one just in time for the holidays!! We went to the Dr. 2 weeks ago at 6 weeks and saw it's little heart just beating away! It was the most incredible sight I have ever seen!! It's still so amazing to me that the little family that we have dreamed about having for so long is finally becoming a reality! I have been VERY sick and now know that morning sickness is a complete misnomer- it's an around the clock thing, at least for me! If nausea is any sign of health for a baby, this one will come out qualifying for the Olympics!!! Which is fine with me!

As many of you know, getting pregnant wasn't as easy for us as it is for most. I feel so fortunate that we were able to have a little baby on our own without having to undergo more invasive treatments. I took Clomid, an entry level fertility medication, and after 20 months of trying, here we are expecting our first! It wasn't our first try with Clomid, but it was the first try since some other health issues that I had were resolved. It is such a blessing and a relief to know that we can now plan our family as we wish and we are so grateful for that. I think I want 4... but Chris doesn't seem too happy about that.;-) For now, we are living in the moment and dreaming of our future.

Beginnings

A baby to hold and to love,

a creature so tiny, so fresh and so new.

There's nothing more important or special

that two loving people could ever do.

Who will the baby look like

will it be a he or a she?

Part of him, part of her, a creation that is meant to be.

All we could ever want for our baby

is very simple and very plain.

It's to be happy and content in life

and know our love will never wane.
