I'm Having a Baby!

So this picture pretty much sums up most of what I do now. Sleep. Growing a baby inside you is tiring! We are 9 weeks and 4 days along. We were going to wait longer to tell everyone but I have been pretty sick so we were having to tell people and we just decided to tell everyone.

Some days of being sick are really hard but I try to think about how I am not the only one who has ever gone through this. Actually I am pretty lucky that they have medicine that I can take that makes be feel better. I know some amazing ladies in my past that didn't have that luxury and if they would not have gone through their sickness I wouldn't be here.

My mother was very sick when she was pregnant with me. She had to be hooked up to an IV for the first trimester. She told me that once the precious baby comes to your family you forget about the sickness. I have a letter that she wrote my dad when I was born and a few things she said in it makes me know she is telling the truth.

"She was so beautiful all I could do was sit and cry."

"I cannot believe how much I love her"

I also read a book that I have about what my grandmother felt when my mom joined their family.

"Dixie Lee is the name of our precious, lovely baby girl! I am so thrilled with her that I am giddy! It was worth it all, in spite of how miserable I felt. Now I am flying high. When I have a little new baby, I feel like I'm on a little toot!"

So I am not really sure what a little toot is but it sounds like she was pretty happy. My mom and especially my grandma did not have the medicine that I am able to take. So let me tell you I am thankful to be having a baby in this day and age where that have medicine to make it bearable for me to go on with my everyday life. Other wise I would have been living on my bathroom floor for the last few weeks.

I don't mean to complain. I want to be clear that I am so so excited. I know that anything that I go through in the next 7 months will be well worth the joy our child will bring. I am also so so thankful for my wonderful husband that has been taking such good care of me. I spend a lot of time laying on the couch when I am not at work and he has been so good to keep our house clean and making food and pretty much everything else. I don't know what I would do without him. I am so lucky to have him as my husband.

If anyone has any suggestions on books I should read or anything. Let me know now because it will take me until the baby gets here to take in all the information that I should. I am not a very quick reader haha.

Well this is turning into a really long post but I am excited to become a mom and I will make sure to keep everyone posted.
