It’d been ages and I could use a bit of diversion so here is today’s Friday Fill-In: Baby Edition. (Feel free to add your own fill ins in the comment box.)
1. Oh, I am so pregnant! (Well not really, just ten weeks.)
2. Life changes, big and little.
3. During my first nine weeks, I still didn’t believe it. (I don’t know why I am still in a bit of shock. It wasn’t a complete surprise.)
4. I will have a rambunctious two year old and a newborn in the house; are you kidding me??? (I thought those moms were admirable but crazy. Haha!)
5. Right now I’d like to be taking a nap. (I forgot how stinkin’ tired you get!)
6. My phone is my favorite gadget. (“Sweetie, can you bring home dinner?”)
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to having some mother/daughter time with Bella at her Little Flowers Club, tomorrow my plans include getting some bloodwork done and Sunday, I want to just thank God for the blessing of new life!

Yes, it is true. We are expecting baby #3. We had been praying about it and decided that after Andrew turned 18 months we’d be ready for another if God should choose to send one. Since we had such a hard time conceiving Bella and Andrew, we assumed that it would be awhile before conceiving again but God had other plans. It happened the first month we tried.
As soon as I realized I was pregnant I called the long-distance Catholic doctor who had been helping me with my infertility/miscarriages. She tested my progesterone and it was low so she put me on it immediately. When I was 6 ½ weeks along (and the baby just over 4 weeks old) I went to my local doc and had my first prenatal appointment. Brian and I saw the ultrasound of the baby and heard the heart beating loud and strong. Can you believe that?? At so little and so young?? (How can someone not be touched by the miracle of life?)
I am now starting my tenth week and so far everything seems to be going okay. The baby is due August 28 and I hope by then it has all sunk in. It still seems a bit dream-like. Please keep me and the baby in prayer that we have a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery. I’ll keep you posted as the weeks go by! 🙂
Have a blessed weekend. Love, b.
Okay, it isn’t Friday, but I currently have some free time (shocking!) so thought I would fill this out.
1. Oh, I am so happy! (God has really blessed me.)
2. Life changes, big and little. (I can’t think of anything for this one.)
3. During the day, I look forward to my husband coming home.
4. Birth control to save the economy; are you kidding me???
5. Right now I’d like to be in Carmel CA visiting my sister and her family. (May won’t come soon enough!)
6. My apple corer is my favorite gadget. (What did I do before I had one?)
7. And as for the week, tonight I’m looking forward to eating warm soup, tomorrow my plans include watching American Idol and Wednesday, I want to play in the snow (I hope we get snow)!
