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.
