The Last Few Weeks...

I hoped to post more each month as the calendar flipped to 2011. The year started off well, but I have had some trouble lately. This is how I really feel and have felt lately:

• In awe of God
• Tired
• Overwhelmed with God's trust in Tyler and me
• Nauseous 
• Excited
• Did I mention tired?! 

These emotions and physical changes have come into our lives because I AM PREGNANT!! We are expecting a little bundle in late September of this year. We are beyond excited about our news, but wanted to wait and share until I was farther along. Fortunately, the time has come to shout from the rooftops that we are going to be parents and that we are just thrilled!!

This Wednesday I will be 13 weeks. We saw the baby and heard its heartbeat at 10 weeks. The doctor was pleased with the size and the heartbeat, and we are just praying that things are continuing to go well. I have been ex.haust.ed, which my mother says will never go away(!!), and nauseous, particularly in the afternoon/evening.  Tyler has been so wonderful, taking care of us both, forgiving me over and over for not cooking and for not being too caught up on the laundry, but the time will come when I get it all under control again .. I promise, T!

I am just so overwhelmed by the tiny miracle growing inside of me. The fact that God would allow this to happen, and give Tyler and me one of His precious children to take care of is just baffling. I am also in awe of the fact that God already knows everything there is to know about this baby. He knows his/her name, the exact moment he/she will be born, their first cut, first love, first heartbreak, the person they were made to marry, and every thing in-between.

We are beyond excited, and just cannot wait to meet him/her!! We'll keep you posted on life with-child as it unfolds!
