This will be a new experience for me...blogging about one of my pregnancies! I look forward to sharing these next 8 months with you...all the ups and downs.
For those who don't know me, I am a 31 yo homemaker with 3 children ages, almost 10, almost 8 and 4. I've been married to Sean for just over 11 years and we live in very cold and snowy Central NY.
I found out I was pregnant with baby #4 just after the first of the year. Many emotions came with this news...total bliss at being pregnant again...I LOVE being pregnant. Worry because of our not-so-stable financial situation. Stress at being responsible for 4 little people. Wonder at the new life growing within that God has chosen to bless Sean and I with. Will this one look a lot like any of it's sister's or brother? Or will he or she have a look of his or her own? And joy that my other 3 children will have a new brother or sister to love and grow up with.
I have told our church family and by accident, Sean's parent's found out before we wanted to tell them. Oh well! My dad and his side of the family have known for about a week.
I still need to tell my mom and brother and aunt, who I don't see or talk to often. I think they will all be very happy for us.
I've been told by a few that I have that 'glow' already...which I'm sure will continue throughout the entire pregnancy. My favorite thing about being pregnant is being able to feel the baby move around and kick...even when it's uncomfortable! And I talk to my babies in utero a lot....I'm sure I've done it while grocery shopping! LOL
Sean was quite freaked out when I told him...he didn't want any more children...at least not for quite a while. But he's quickly warming up to the idea! :) I love him so much for that...I was a little scared to tell him because I just didn't know what his reaction would be. But he took it like a man and is going with the flow now!
He's already started gutting that tiny room upstairs(those who have been in our house know which one)...that will be the nursery. I plan to paint it a light yellow and if it's a girl, I will be framing flower photos that I've taken over the last couple years and hang those up on the walls. (I'll post a few here to show you.) If it's a boy...I don't know yet...have to do a little more thinking. I just don't want a typical nursery for this baby. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
I really look forward to comments...please feel free to leave them!
