Baby, Baby, Baby....OOOHHH!!! :)

Hello Friends! Well....we are having a baby!! I waited a little longer to post about it this time after our unfortunate tubal pregnancy about 4 months ago. Very sad...but as a firm believer in life at the moment of conception, I know that baby (along with the first baby we lost due to miscarraige) is safe in the arms of Jesus.
Anyway...so I decided to wait and post about this pregnancy after our first ultrasound which was this past Thursday. Everything is looking wonderful!! I am almost 9 weeks along, and my due date is August 27th. This due date is very special for 2 reasons. One being....my Papaw's birthday is August 27th! Many of you remember that we lost Papaw this past November after a long hard fight with alzheimers. So needless to say my grandmother was very excited to hear that his first birthday may not be as hard of a day as she originally thought. :) The second being....August 27th is also my sister-in-law Molly's birthday!! So there is a lot of pressure for this baby to be born ON his/her due date!!
As far as my pregnancy so far....it has been pretty good. I have been a little sick to my stomach from time to time, but nothing major. And of course I have been extremely tired. The beginning of pregnancy has always been the most tiring for me with all my pregnancies. The one thing I am noticing with this pregnancy that I don't remember as much with the others is my moodiness! I can go from mad to crying to happy all in a matter of seconds. So for those of you whom I will see and/or talk to...BEWARE!! :)
The kids are VERY excited about the new addition to our family. They all of course have their preferences on the gender of the baby. Daniel wants another boy, while Lily and Austin want another girl. We will of course be soooo happy with either, but I since I am blessed to be so close to my sisters, I can't help but want Lily to have a sister. However, I have great sister-in-laws too so if it's a boy we will pray she will one day too! :)
Well....enough blabbering about me and my pregnancy! Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!!

Congrats! I remember telling the Dr. I thought something was wrong with me after the 1st trimester and I was still REALLY tired. I thought I was anemic or something. He asked how many kids I have and I said 4. He chuckled and then let me know that I may NEVER have any energy ever again :) Hope your pregnancy goes well and people stay safe in the path of your moodiness!LOL
