Our Growing Family

Dustin and I are happy to announce that we are pregnant. Over the past several weeks we have been filled with happiness, fear, anticipation, anxiety, and gratitude. We are thankful that our prayers have been answered and will be welcoming a child into our lives June 10th 2010 or thereabouts. The baby is strong with a heartbeat of 164 bpm.

Morning sickness started about four weeks ago and does not let up. Really, it should be called all day sickness because it never lets up. We were told that it is an indicator of a healthy pregnancy, but it does not make the morning sickness any easier. I am experiencing almost every attribute of pregnancy outlined in What To Expect When Your Expecting. I also learned to only read about the week of pregnancy you are in and not skip ahead. It becomes rather overwhelming and a little frightening to read ahead. So, until Wednesday I will read all about week nine and nothing else.
