Sometimes in life, you plan for things to go a certain way, and wait a few years to come along. And then sometimes someone decides to bless you with a different plan.
About three months ago Curtis and I got the biggest surprise of our lives. I'm pregnant! At the moment I am 12 weeks along and due in early June.
We are very surprised, but very grateful for our sweet little blessing. This wasn't part of the plan for our lives right now. I was hoping to be finished with/finishing school when this came along but that just isn't the way it worked out. I am terrified, but thrilled that I get to have this blessing. I am so grateful I have such a sweet, hard working, patient husband who feels the same way. It took awhile to get used to, but we wouldn't change this situation for the world. Everything will be just fine :) And we are super excited for our new journey.
So far it hasn't been too easy, but I'm happy to do it. It has been fun and a little weird. I don't really have a noticeable bump yet (my pants that get tighter every day say otherwise), but I can feel something in my way every time I bend over. It's weird, but exciting. I have had terrible morning sickness (all day sickness) that has just left me exhausted and sick all the time. I have also had five colds/flus since being pregnant. I get one pretty much every other week. It's miserable. But good news. I have one of the most amazing men in existence for a husband. He takes such good care of me. He is always feeding me and pushing fluids on me. He has basically taken over all my household chores and cooking and he does such a wonderful job at it. I know it hasn't been easy on him but he never complains and always puts me first. He is so sweet. I am continually blown away by what a lucky girl I am to have found such an amazing person to take care of me and our little one. He is such an amazing daddy already.
I am starting to feel a bit better with the morning sickness and I am praying I'll be back to normal fairly soon. Curtis deserves a break from all the extra things he has to do all the time.
Our families have both been wonderful through this and we always have an extra meal or two in the fridge waiting for us.
We had our second appointment today with the doctor and everything looks great. We have a cutie already. Heartbeat was perfect and things are great. I am so grateful for that. I have put this kid through a lot already.
Again, we are very surprised, but so grateful for our little (big) blessing. I am so grateful to be blessed with such a wonderful husband who would do anything for me and our baby. I am scared but super excited for this new journey. I have the best companion to go through this with and an amazing support team of family and friends.
More updates to come soon :)
I am so stinking happy for you! Any time I am in Cedar I will babysit! :) I promise. I love you and miss you Abby.
ReplyDeleteAbby and Curtis, congrats!!!! You guys are going to be awesome parents! Pregnancy is a hard thing isn't it? I'm finding out myself that it's a whole lot more work and effort (and sickness!) than I ever thought it would be! My morning sickness finally calmed down quite a bit by the 4th month, so hopefully yours will do the same - if not sooner!!
