Blessed…

Just feeling extraordinarily blessed this morning as I sit on the couch eating my cheesy eggs (specially prepared for me by Leif even though he has to be a short order cook for me these days – kids wanted bacon eggs and I wanted nothing to do with bacon).  Since I am pretty sure that everyone reading this blog already knows I am pregnant, I can talk about it here! We are almost 9 weeks along – can’t believe it is true!  I have prayed for this baby and begged for this baby for 3 years and now I am the luckiest woman, wife and mom ever.  It was a rough start to the pregnancy but my doctor has assured me that after the 8 week mark, things are almost always okay.  I try hard to believe what she says but after miscarrying last year, am still so so reserved and scared.  But I do have a good feeling that this is all going to work out. 

I have been SO SO sick the last few weeks unable to stomach hardly anything but bagels and cream cheese and, occasionally an egg or two.  Leif is dead set on me gaining weight and has been willing to go get me anything I ask even when it is a hamburger at 9pm and he is trying to eat paleo!

Little Liam is sick today and all he wants is to snuggle with me.  In one hour last night, he randomly told me he loved me 3 times.  What a sweet heart.  And little Skyler just walks around getting her brother anything he asks for.  She is so good to him!

Anyway, between Leif being so incredibly sweet, my two babies giggling and being the best of friends, and this baby in my stomach, I am overwhelmed with greatfulness this morning.  God is good.
