FAMILY!

I am super thankful this past week, for the chance to see both my sisters, as well as my amazing niece & nephew. I am also thankful beyond words, about how much Isaiah & Nancy love each other! They are old enough now to play together and have adorable little chats with each other. Nancy isn't quite sure what to do with Zoe, but by the end of the visit, she was kissing her and saying "the baby likes me." Nancy is also getting excited about the fact that we will soon have a baby of our own!

Giving Thanks!

Following in the footsteps of a friend, who was, incidentally, following in the footsteps of her friend, I am going to try to start blogging about things I am thankful for. My life is so full of blessings, but the more we look for them, the more we will find.

To start off, the thing that we are most thankful for these days is, of course, our pregnancy! We are almost successfully through the first trimester, and the stress of wondering whether our baby will make it or not is almost non-existent. After our loss earlier in the year, the thought of getting pregnant again was extremely scary, but we've known, pretty much from the get-go that this pregnancy was different. I am still (!!) nauseous everyday, almost all day, and for that, as well, I am thankful, because it gives me that sign that the baby is healthy and growing the way she/he is supposed to! I would gladly be nauseous the rest of the 9 months, if that means a healthy baby!



1 Thessalonians 5:18
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

Nancy was "helping" me by trying on all her too-small clothes that we were packing for baby Zoe. She also tried out the binky.
