So I guess its time to share more details...
Some people have asked, were we expecting this? Nope, not really. Were we "trying"? Definitely not. Are we excited? Of course! Now, in all honesty, it did take a bit for it to fully sink in... not being something that was on our radar. In fact we were actually making plans to be "permanently" done. But the Lord had other plans and I'm overjoyed to welcome another sweet little one into our family. :)
I'm 8 weeks. Due June 27th. Had my first appointment, had my first ultrasound, saw the baby (just one!!!), saw the heartbeat. And it was fun seeing my OB again. They like me there, I'm great repeat business. :) She gave me a big ol' prescription for Zofran (nausea meds) and here we go. On a pregnancy journey once more.
The nausea has been... well, a lot more than just nausea I'm afraid. :( each pregnancy it seems to get worse... and longer. The longest it lasted was til 20 wks. Oy. I pray this doesn't last that long!! It really can't... at the rate I'm going that means the crumbs on the kitchen floor would be up to your ankles and we'd have to start showering in our clothes just to have a clean outfit to wear. Yesterday I really pushed it and tried to decorate for a dinner at the church (for those who don't know, I do that a lot. A little ministry of mine.) But boy I've been regretting it all day. The house is a wreck, jake had to buy groceries for us and I have ZERO energy. Please please pray with me that this part passes soon. I really need to be able to function. This place just won't run without a Mommy. (Even with a Daddy who pulls double duty!)
Lastly, and I know I've said this before but this time its serious... we HAVE to sell this house. Ya'll know I've never had a problem with kids sharing rooms but this is getting a little ridiculous! And for those who read the recent post about our rooms- micah is back in his room with the window screwed closed and Abby is back in her toddler bed in our room. Not my favorite arrangement but for the sake of sleep, its working for now. So you could also please pray with me that the Lord orchestrates a new home for this growing family!
So there it is. :) Spencer Baby watch 2010-2011. Didn't think we'd be doing this again!!!!
Congrats Jake and Amy! A new baby is such a blessing, even when it's a surprise :) I'll be praying for a bigger house for you all, and a short sickness for you. Here's to hoping for an easy (er) pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteSweet Amy, I am so thrilled for you,Jake and the kids!!! With all 3of my pregnancies, I lost 25+ lbs, was tied several times to IV fluids, and was bed-ridden for 6 months. My pregnancies, too, seemed to worsen each time....all this to say, I will know how to pray for you. My heart is very tender toward your struggle to "feel good" and "be mommy" when you'd rather pull the covers over your head and escape with your collection of plastic "puke bags". In addition, I will pray specifically that God will wow you guys with a quick and easy move as you sell your home! HUGS and CONGRATS!!!
