Expanding the family

August 6th, 2008 will always be a day that I will remember clearly. To anybody else it was probably just another day but to me it was the day that my prayers were answered. It was that day that we found out that I am pregnant!!! I have had all of my blood work done and everything looks really good and the baby seems nice and healthy (it looks like there is only one). Hopefully things will continue that way. I am just so grateful that we were blessed with this child. Alex has been really cute ever since I told him. He changes is mind everyday on what the sex of the baby is but really seems to be understanding what is happening with me and my body. Just today he was in my room as I was getting dressed and pointed to my belly and asked if it was getting bigger (nice way to help me feel good about my figure). Then he asked if that was were the baby was. I told him yes and that the baby would continue to grow in me until it was big enough to come out and let us all see it and hold it. He seemed to get it. Hopefully he does. So far things have been going pretty smooth . I have been incredibly tired and occasionally nauseated (especially in the evening) but nothing that is bad enough to make me throw up. I just keep praying that it will stay this way and that the baby will continue to grow healthy and strong. I will be praying and keeping my fingers crossed throughout the rest of the pregnancy that everything will go well.
