A Baby on the Way

Two weeks ago, Matt and I found out that we are expecting a little one! We are honored that God is entrusting us with a child to love and raise, even if it is sooner than our initial plans. God's timing is perfect though, and we are excited to begin this journey and new phase in our marriage. We have shared the news with our families and close friends, and you can imagine the joy we felt as we received loving support and encouragement. We love sharing this news with each new person!


Our due date is October 28, 2011, and we are in the process of researching birthing methods, doctors, midwives and insurance plans. We are leaning toward a natural birth and have visited a couple of birthing facilities and met with a pro natural doctor at Baylor. We have a lot of support for a natural birth and wish to continue down that path unless complications arise. 


Pregnancy symptoms that prove true for me...

• Fatigue - I am always tired. My new bedtime is 8:30p, and naps are a must. I have been going home for lunch and sleeping whenever I can.
• Bloating - The unfortunate feeling that sweatpants are the only comfortable bottoms. I'm mastering the fashion of dressing up Nike black workout pants. 
• Nausea - Like clockwork, I started feeling nauseous the afternoon of my 6 week marker. Since then, food is my worst enemy. I have recommendations to help ease the intensity that I am anxious to try.
• Mood Swings - Yes, my husband is so understanding!
