Preggers

So most everyone who knows me knows by now that I am pregnant with #2! I figured it's about time I write something about it.

It was a HUGE surprise for Chris and me. I mean, HUGE. In fact, if I wasn't so stinking sick and miserable right now I still wouldn't believe it! It's funny to see how God works because Chris and I have always talked about how we want our children to be close together, but we've known that financially we just can't afford to have another child right now. And this last month especially I have been thinking that I want to wait about another year before we start thinking of having more. Well, apparently God has other plans :-P

Chris is super excited about it, which is great. And he is definitely the best husband ever and is taking great care of both me and Elijah. I am very excited to have another baby, but I am also very nervous. I'm sure that it will be hard to have a newborn and a toddler at the same time, but I know we will be able to handle it, especially with God's help :-) I'm more concerned about where we are going to live, what we are going to drive, how we are going to get more baby furniture, etc. Thankfully, I have time to figure those things out and I know God is faithful.

Right now I am just hoping that I will survive the first half of this pregnancy as I am sick as a dog and I have a toddler to take care of and work to do. When I was pregnant with Elijah I was sick from about 6 weeks to 6 months and puked almost every day. So far this pregnancy I haven't puked, but I feel sick to my stomach all day long and just overall weak, dizzy, and exhausted. I haven't eaten a real meal in about a week and I'm not sure when I will be able to again. I'm living primarily on crackers and toast.

We are praying that I will get over the sickness quickly so that I will be able to get back to normal life and that every day activities like showering and brushing my teeth won't make me want to pass out or throw up. Pray for me!!!
