Probably I should have just written the post first, bec. it wouldn't have hurt to pretend I was just all lovey-dovey. :P On the Saturday I took the last test, I was crying in the car, thinking of a post I should write about how much I love and appreciate my husband, and then I took the test and figured out I was pregnant.

I was just saying that it was funny that *I* immediately felt nauseated just hours after realizing I was pregnant. Of course, I was anywhere from 6 to ten weeks pregnant at the time, so it certainly would make sense to be experiencing morning sickness. Actually, I feel much worse this time (or have forgotten how bad I usually feel), so I like to think that means I'm having a boy, but probably I just have a faulty memory.

I definitely know that fear. I miscarried in May 2008. And in January 2009 when I found out I was pregnant again, I was so nervous of it ending in miscarriage again. Every cramp caused fear. Lack of nausea (which wasn't often) caused fear. My dearest friend had an ectopic pregnancy rupture and I was SURE that was happening to me thus explaining my pains. Of course, when that all changed the day I went to the ER and found out the baby was fine and in my uterus, and so was the second one, AND the third, my fears vanished. Until I miscarried the third. Heavenly Father knows our fears and He knows our desires. I know He will be by your side this whole pregnancy. And if you should happen to slacken in the blogging department, I won't delete you from my favorites. ;) I am so excited for you Shannon. I definitely know that fear. I miscarried in May 2008.

My blogging has taken a back seat as I have struggled for the past 8 months to separate authentic emotions from hormone induced craziness. Now, as I pull into the home stretch of this pregnancy I can feel my need and desire for my blogging friends flooding me like never before. Congratulations sweet Jane and I will keep my fingers crossed and my prayers coming that this pregnancy continues to be healthy and uneventful. Girrrrl, you are preaching to the choir over here.

Your post title surprised me! I did not expect to read a pregnancy announcement! CONGRATULATIONS! And for what it's worth, my advice is to follow Grampa's lizard advice over the next 6-8 months! After experiencing placenta previa that resulted in losing a baby when 5 months along, I became the biggest slug in California when I became pregnant a few months later. Even though my doctor at the time told me that bedrest wouldn't make any difference, I chose to ignore him. Not only did I keep the little guy, I didn't go through PP for the first time in 3 pregnancies! Take care of yourself, Friend! WoW! Your post title surprised me!

Congrats! Will be praying for you every day. When I was first pregnant with the youngest in 08, the oldest kept telling people there was a baby in my tummy and Chris and I kept trying to shut him up because we knew he was wrong. Turned out he was right, when I wised up and took a test I was nearly 12 weeks. I have never had sickness w/ any of my pregs, but have friends who couldnt even get out of bed for the first trimester without being ill. Bless you and your (growing)family. Steff Oh Jane! Congrats!
