I started thinking I might be pregnant when:
Oh, all the obvious physical signals. I was pretty resistant to them for a few weeks, though. The thing that really should have tipped me off was when I sat down and ate one-third of a jar of peanut butter all by myself. First I put some on a banana, which is something I can only handle doing once every few months (since I usually detest peanut butter), and then I just gobbled all that was left in the jar. Apparently the baby wanted some protein!

I found out I was pregnant when I:
We took a home pregnancy test. Actually, I refused to look at it and just left the room, leaving Keith alone with the news. Then I waited and waited for him to come out and tell me! We had been talking about it all day (what it would mean for us if we were pregnant now) and I had gone from being fearful to being so hopeful that I was just afraid that we wouldn't be pregnant and I would be all excited for nothing. So I found out that I was pregnant when Keith told me that I was!

I felt:
Happy. Delighted. Actually, I didn't know what to think! I was so busy bracing myself for the disappointment of not being pregnant that finding out we were pregnant just kind of left me feeling like... Oh! Good!!! :)

The first person I told was:
We haven't actually told anyone yet! We haven't yet decided when to start telling people. I think we will probably tell our family and closest friends in another few weeks, then begin trickling the news out and eventually just announce it to the world.

The first ultrasound was:
I haven't had one yet. I'm a little nervous about having one. We had one with our first pregnancy and seeing that little beating heart was one of the most precious moments of our lives... but also one of the most difficult.

My baby will be born:
My due date is December 19th or 20th, so I'm guessing that our baby will be born right before Christmas. It's sort of funny... I have always meant to carefully avoid being due in December... but now I don't mind a bit. It is a little shocking to realize that we are going to have a baby in 2008 after all!

The strangest symptom of pregnancy I had this month was:
The urge to urinate all the time! There was one morning when I had to pee literally every 2-3 minutes. It was the most bizarre thing.

My hopes:
My hope is in the Lord. I don't know what to put under this section; I am just so thankful that the Lord has given us this blessing.
|
|

My fears:
I am afraid of miscarrying again, but I am fairly confident that it's not going to happen, just because of the way that the Lord showed us His hope through this new pregnancy. At the same time, though, we've had to make the careful decision not be afraid but just to love this child completely and not worry about whether or not God decides to take him or her home early.
