oh, baby!

Hi. remember me?? I used to blog here. :)
I also used to be a mother of 2.  But in December, I will be a mother of 3!  yikes.
We are all very excited about this new family member, but I'm not going to lie.... there are somedays I stop and wonder, "what were we thinking??!?"
It has been really fun to share the progress of the baby's growth with the girls. They are so excited to be big sisters. Jada calls it "her baby" and Eden is determined it WILL NOT be a boy.  She did tell me that if it is a boy, she will still love it, but she really wants a sister.
So far I have experienced a pretty typical 1st trimester.... nausea and extreme tiredness.  But, this is not typical for my pregnancies at all, so this has been quite an adjustment for me. (I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm also raising 2 toddlers... but that's life!) Hopefully only a few more weeks of this and I will start to feel human again!!
Over the next 7 months, I covet your prayers for a safe and healthy pregnancy and also pray that I am able to keep an even mental state.... Obviously, along with the excitement of another child, Nate and I are nervously anticipating the onset of the evil PPD. I realize it is possible that I may be spared from it this time around, but I'm also realistic enough to realize the odds are kind of stacked against me!!  But I am confident that whatever this world hands me after the delivery of this child, the God I serve is big enough to get me through it.
