Good Reasons

There is a good reason why I've been really lazy lately.  There is a good reason why Andrew has been watching way too much TV and I know everything about everyone's lives on Facebook.  There is a good reason why I've been really missing my green smoothies, and only recently started them back up again (and can I just say, my body is thanking me). There is a really good reason why I haven't been accomplishing as much as I would like & beating myself up about it. There is a good reason why my style has been lacking, I never wear makeup, and stretchy pants are my best friend.  There is a good reason why my husband has been making dinner for us most nights.  There is a good reason why I haven't been blogging much, or calling much, or texting much...


Even though it was planned... I was still surprised.  I took Clomid with Andrew. Getting pregnant was sort of the last thing on my mind at the moment. I went on vacation and then the very next week went on another weekend trip and then moved again.  I was content with my situation (nothing like my attitude with Andrew) and I had peace trusting God's timing.  I wasn't counting or even thinking about it.

We found out right after we moved back from our summer internship. I was so happy that my body knew what to do and "I got pregnant for free" (as a good friend and I were discussing earlier this Spring would be nice to have happen).


I heard a heartbeat this morning.
They said this kid was really moving around like crazy.

Great heartbeat... 169
Yes, there is just one in there. I'm due May 2014. Briant graduates the week before on the 9th.  It's actually really good timing. Briant will be able to hang out with us for a while before we move.

Nausea and fatigue have really made me second guess being ready for another kid.  But I'm starting to feel better most of the time and we are really excited.  Andrew is going to be almost 3 (which I think is excellent spacing for my sanity), and I know he will be a great big brother.

I'm going to a great doctor's office recommended to me.  I'm really happy with them so far (still missing my old doc though). I have one more appointment in a month, then the next one will be my ultrasound :)  It will probably be around the middle of December or close to Christmas when we find out what we have.

We are super excited!!!
