Happy Anniversary, Anthony!

Today is my 7th wedding anniversary! It's hard to believe that Anthony and I have been married for 7 years. It seems like only yesterday we had just met and started dating. Now, we have a handsome 4 year old son and another baby on the way! God has blessed us so much over these past 7 years and we are truly thankful. I love you, Anthony! Happy Anniversary!

What a week!

Well, last week was a rough week for me to say the least! I hadn't felt good and went to the doctor on Wednesday. The doctor told me that I was dehydrated and sent me straight to the hospital for fluids. That was about 10 am. 4.5 IV bags of fluid and 9 hours later, I got to go home. I felt a little better, but not terrific. I still haven't felt great since. I go back to the doctor today for a follow-up, so I hope I'm still doing okay. Please keep me in your prayers. I really need them!

From Three to Four

For those of you who haven't already heard, I am expecting a baby! We are due February 22, 2010. Caleb is going to be a Big Brother! He is very excited and insists that he wants a baby brother. We have tried to tell him that it could be a baby sister, but he will have none of that. My mom and Grandma really want a girl as my brother has 2 boys and my cousin has a boy, so they feel we are due for a girl in the family! I will post ultrasound pictures when I can get to a scanner. We had our first doctor appointment on Thursday last week and was able to see the heartbeat! What an amazing thing! I have to go back to the doctor on Wednesday for a head-to-toe pregnancy physical but then after that it will be monthly visits for a while.

We are excited, yet nervous! Caleb and this baby will be 5 years apart. While that's further apart than I wanted to have them, this is God's timing, so all is well.

This pregnancy has already been a lot different than when I was pregnant with Caleb. I stay nauseous all the time - which is not fun. Nothing tastes good right now. I hope and pray that the nausea does not last the entire nine months! I don't know that I can handle that.

I ask that you continue to remember us in your prayers. We're going to need it as we learn to adjust to being a family of four instead of three.
