My happy thought

So, I think it's time to come out clean. The reason why I haven't blogged in a while (or had no interest in blogging) is because my thoughts have been elsewhere. I think a picture will tell the story. Here is where my mind has been:


The above picture was taken over six weeks ago, so obviously it looks a little different...that BABY!! looks kinda like the gadget that I added to the side of my blog. Go ahead. Take a look. It actually looks like a human.

Yep, I'm 12 weeks pregnant. :) I'm already starting to show. A little. We took this next picture on Valentine's Day, after I had eaten more than I have been able to in months, so it helped push the baby bump out.

The baby is due two weeks after my graduation day! Talk about cuttin' it close. Daniel and I couldn't be more excited!

Yesterday I went to my second doctor's appointment and everything looks great. Which is why I'm posting this. We got to hear the little heart beating stronger than at the ultra sound. I'll never forget Daniel's face when he heard our little baby's strong heart on the monitor.

I haven't been too sick, which has been such a blessing. I don't know what I would do if I had to go to school and work and throw up 3 or 4 times a day. The Lord continues to bless. :) The only morning sickness I've had is the non-ability to eat. Foods that I sort of liked before I was pregnant, I can't touch. Foods that I absolutely hated make me want to vomit just by smelling them. Foods that I absolutely loved, I love even more (you'd think this was a good thing, but these foods consist of fries, chocolate, and stuff I probably shouldn't be eating all the time). Luckily I have the most patient husband in the world. Daniel has gotten me through so much. I can't express how grateful I am for his patience, love, and his late night drives to Wendy's. One of my favorite things is when Daniel will put his hand on my stomach and say with a huge smile "there's a baby in there!"

All of the mood swings, the nausea, the headaches, the food cravings, they are all worth it. This little baby of mine is my happy thought. It's getting me through my last semester and pushing me to finish.
