Here we are! 6 weeks already...can't believe how fast the past 2 weeks have gone! In the past week, I've noticed several things. I am ALWAYS tired and now I have to pee like every 45 minutes. Kind of annoying but worth every trip! Wednesday, I started getting heartburn...after I ate and randomly. Man, it burns. I guess the baby will have a head full of hair?!? Is that the old tale? Then Thursday, I had my first dizzy/lightheaded spell. Kinda scary and very uncomfortable, but again, totally worth it. Hopefully that one won't get much worse. Other than that, I'm feeling great! Oh and hungry all the time...David now just laughs when I say I'm hungry. Honestly...I am!
It's so amazing to read about what's going on in my belly. To know that God's design is happening inside ME is still so surreal. I pasted the link below to see what the baby looks like at 6 weeks.

Anyway, keep praying for a healthy little one! Lots of love!

We're having a baby!
It has now been a week since we found out that we are having a baby! God is so faithful! There have been so many emotions going through our head and it is very surreal!
If you know our story, you know we have been trying for a year and God has answered a really big prayer. It all started last Monday (well...not really but). We had gone to an ATV park in Winnsboro, SC with James & Beth and I still hadn't started. So after going to serve at the Palmetto House with our small group (amazing, but my mind was so pre-occupied of course) Monday night, I didn't wait a second longer to take the test. David was the one to look at the results and I just waited....and waited....which seemed like an enternity but was really just 4 minutes. Coming back into the living room he said "I think we're going to have a little one." very quietly while my head was burried in the couch. That was it...I just couldn't believe it. We were both in a complete state of shock! The next day we went to get a blood test which, of course, was positive!
So we have been able to tell everyone we want to at this point. It was a little stressful because we weren't able to tell my parents until Friday night! Darn 24 hour shifts.....but finally got to and they were ecstatic of course!
Today, I am 5 weeks and 4 days. Our first appointment is March 7th (I'll be 8 weeks) which seems like an eternity away. It will come fast though....because it has already been a week since finding out! Not big symptoms yet, crossing fingers. Pray with us for a healthy baby and if your reading this now, around Feb. 14th, there are very few who know, so please don't share this on Facebook. :) I'll give you the greenlight soon!
Thanks to my good friend Jess for giving me advice on a blog. I wanted to find a way to keep everyone updated where I could add pictures too!
We love y'all!
