Baby

The rumors are true: I am pregnant! I am 8 weeks pregnant, due March 12. We have waited this long to tell most people (and post a blog) after our experience with the miscarriage earlier in the year. Although I am still in my first trimester, I have heard the heartbeat and seen my doctor and feel confident to post a blog and let the world know! I appreciate all of the prayers I received at the time of the miscarriage and after and all of the support from everyone who knew how much we wanted another baby. Cadence is very excited and says the baby is girl. We have know idea yet, but as soon as we know the world will also know. Everything is going great so far. I am very tired and worn out, but not really that sick. I am not really starting to show, but with second and third babies, it is like your stomach muscles say "Oh, you are pregnant now? Good, because we are done working!" And suddenly you have a fat belly that is not really baby. So I am already wearing some maternity clothes and using my belly band. (Belly band is a great idea, a large band that you can put over your pants so that you do not have to button them and it holds the pants up so you can wear your regular pants longer!) With Cadence, I used my Old Navy credit card to but maternity clothes, but with this one, we are no longer using credit cards, so I am searching for cute, cheap clothes. Ross has been great! Plus, the babydoll style that is in right now helps to find clothes to wear. I see my doctor again in two weeks for another ultrasound and checkup. Hopefully with that ultrasound I will have a picture to scan in that looks more like a baby than the bean picture I have now! Also, Jenny, I am glad you are back in Tulsa!
