Pregnancy Announcement!

Thomas and I are very happy to announce that we are expecting our first child!!! We couldn't be happier and are even more complete as we are now a family. God works in such magnificent ways! I will always be amazed by Him. We may have had our patience tested by waiting a few months, but God planned it out wonderfully that way! Thomas had surgery in November and took the whole month off of work since he was sick in bed with 3 different infections! I felt so badly for him being cooped up at home, hardly able to move and in so much pain. Being a stay at home wife, I was able to take care of him. Now that he is back on his feet, I am now resting at home with occasional morning sickness and he is taking good care of me around the clock whenever I need him. Looks like God planned things out perfectly (as He always does!) and was taking care of us both by working through one another to help eachother. This is something that I would not have been able to do all that well if I got pregnant right off and going through morning sickness while he needed my care. Thank you God for taking care of us and for doing what you knew was best! Thomas told me something one night when I was worried, something that'll always stick with me; "Don't ask for something that isn't in God's plan for us yet! He might let it happen and it wouldn't end up being a good thing." How true! God has a reason for His every plan.

So, I thought it would be fun to start a blog as a way to record my developments throughout the pregnancy and keep my family and friends up to date as well.

Week 8
Due date: August 1st
Size of baby: A raspberry
Symptoms: Fatigue, restlessness, short of breath and always hungry! Lol Although, however hungry I may be, I have such an aversion to food that it becomes a chore to eat anything. I also have come down with a cold this week, so I think my body is working overtime! I just wrapped some Christmas gifts and I feel like I just ran a marathon! ;)
Cravings: To be quite honest, I don't really have any big cravings. I just eat whatever sounds appealing at the time. Right now, nothing sounds appealing! The food that I can tolerate the most is PB&J and banana boats (bananas slice in half with peanut butter and raisins on top).
Food Aversions: Ground beef and green bean casserole....bleghhhh
