Our Family is Growing:)

Well from the title I think it is safe to say that you know we are EXPECTING! Conrad and I are over the moon with excitement. Braxton is beyond ready to be a big brother. He use to say that there were twins in there a boy and a girl. After I had an ultrasound and told him sorry buddy there is only one in my belly, he then decided well its a boy then. He says he wants a boy, but then is quick to say whatever God gives us he will be happy with. Conrad and I feel the exact same way, we don't care what this little bean is..we just pray for a healthy baby.

As many of you know I have PCOS that has gotten fairly bad over the last few years since I had Braxton. After talking to my doctor and telling her my concerns about school and all that she basically said if it was her she would try now because after 2 years we might have to go to alternatives. I knew I didn't want to finish school to find out my time was up so I choose my priorities and I just feel honored that God is letting me do this again. School will always be there, this might not have been. There are no words to describe my joy when I saw two pink lines on that pregnancy test. No words.

So here we are!!:) I have to say that so far this pregnancy has been very different. I think I have had every pregnancy symptom in the book. Fatigue has been the worse. I swear if I could nap 3 hours everyday I would do it. By 3 o'clock everyday I am ready for bedtime it is kind of ridiculous. I also have to pee every 5 seconds, ok not really but it seems that way. I have to tell you it isn't very fun to be on a 4 mile run far away from your house and you have to pee even though you went 5 minutes ago. Ah the joys of the first trimester. The funny thing about it all whether I am throwing up, tierd to the point my eyes can't stay open, or just moody as ever I always smile because I am pregnant. I am pregnant..I just love even saying it:) To know there is another baby coming into this family just makes me soo happy.

My all time favorite thing about this pregnancy is Braxton's excitement. He talks to the baby all the time and kisses my belly constantly. He is going to be a FANTASTIC brother:). I just feel blessed that God is giving us this gift because our entire family is ready.
