I started receiving emails and comments with folks wondering if all is well since I haven’t blogged for a while. Well… all is just fine. But… you might want to sit down for this.
I’m pregnant. I am 9.5 weeks, feel pretty wonky and have a wicked case of vertigo. Other than that….all is well.
I tend to keep things like being pregnant quiet because, in truth, I’m not all that “good” at being pregnant. This is my 6th pregnancy (we think, I’m sorry to say we have kinda lost count) but Anna Grace is our only child. So, I wait until things appear to be going well before I spill the beans.
That day is today. We got a sonogram today, baby has a heartbeat and was even “waving at the camera”. My due date is around April 24.
The timing isn’t the best but I’m still very thankful that we have such a blessing in our lives. And it may be denial but I’m choosing to believe that this whole job situation of Dana’s will be resolved before this kiddo arrives.
There’s a bit of a tradition around here of “naming” the babies before they arrive. It started with Noah and he or Isaac was Fritter (I tried desperately to get Lisa to call Noah “Taco Bell” but she wouldn’t go for it). The tradition continued with each of us. Anna Grace was Sprout and this little one will now be referred to as…….
Sprig
Well, HELLO SPRIG!!!!! (Noah was “Fritter”…Isaac was “Beaker” – homage to his roots in assisted reproduction)…
I can’t wait.
And now I can finally run my mouth about it. 😉
Love ya’ll…
congrats girl! That is fantastic, I hope this pregnancy is nothing but smooth sailing for you!
i am so happy for you! and i hope the vertigo gets better quickly.
oh my goodness! Good for you! Wow–that is big news. I hope the vertigo passes and everything is smooth sailing. I’m so happy for you, Kris.
Sprig is some kind of cute! Jason was Noodle and Ella was Noggin and both are very excited about their new friend.
Congratulations!!!
So awesome. I love Sprig’s first picture. :o)
Oh, congratulations! Excellent news.
I hope you’re feeling better soon. Pregnancy is hard enough when everything is perfectly aligned and you have no greater worries than nursery decoration themes.
That’s fantastic! And I will admit that I’m not entirely surprised.
Wow! Congratulations!
Go Sprig! Go Sprig! Oh Yeah! Happy dance! Happy dance! My dad said to tell you congrats. Love that “Beaker” thing. We should have called Mad “Test Tube”. I may mess up and call your little one “Sprog” – which is an endearing term for a wee one in NZ.
Congratulations!!! I hope you feel better soon.
Hi Sprig!
SO EXCITED.
Congratulations!! Hope that your vertigo and stuff goes away soon. Great name too!
