So Jonathan and I had our first prenatal appointment yesterday and all seems to be going well! Our estimated due date is January 20, 2010 and the baby seems to be growing at a healthy rate. We even got to hear the precious little heartbeat, which made it a little more real for me! I can definitely tell there are some unusual goings-on taking place inside of me, but at least now it's easier to believe there is a little person in there!
I'm so excited to be a mommy!!! It seems like being married (and living with a boy) has finally become "normal" to me, and to think of being a wife AND a mommy completely blows my mind! I've wanted to be a mommy for so long, and now it's actually happening!
The Lord has blessed me so tremendously... Even a year ago I could not have imagined myself living the life that I do now! Are there difficult days? Of course! There are days that Jonathan and I butt heads with each other, days that I wish I could just throw up rather than deal with the nausea, and days when (thanks to wacked-out hormones) I get moody and can't figure out for the life of me why I'm upset!
Becoming pregnant so fast is extremely exciting...and frustrating at times. My poor husband has to figure out not only how to live with me as a woman, but also how to adjust to this little life that is turning MY life (and stomach) upside down! (I might add that he is doing a marvelous job, considering all he has to put up with!!!)
On top of baby stuff, Jonathan and I are planning to move to Kansas City, Missouri in the middle of August (AHHHH!!!! That's a month and a half away!!!) so that he can begin school at Midwestern Baptist College this fall. I'm so excited for him! As crazy as we might sound for attempting so many things at once, it seems as though God is really preparing us and providing for us! Are we insane? Maybe. Is this going to work? Lord willing, yes!!!
Please just keep us in your prayers! Pray for provision, for patience for both of us, and for sanity in the midst of all we need to do in the next month. Pray that we will be sensitive to God's leading at all times, and that we will follow Him in everything. Pray for courage and boldness to step out and make a difference in the lives of others.
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
