8 Weeks Pic

Just posting a pic of us for this week, Blue...

There is a smidge of a bump, but not enough to eliminate me from wearing my last few pairs of jeans and shirts! I'm sure that's going to change over the next couple weeks! LOL!

I love you forever!

Dear Baby Blue,

Ah my luv! You've grown! You are now 3/4"! For someone so small, you sure do make mommy tired! I am always sleepy and find myself taking cat naps throughout the day. I still have some morning sickness, but like it was with your brother, it rarely affects me in the morning. I believe a better name would be "Whenever you least expect it" Sickness! LOL! But, that is okay. Morning sickness means that I'm pregnant with you. And that is the only way I would have it right now.

Mmm, people have asked me what gender I think you are. I must admit, I do believe you are another little boy! Thus far your heartbeat is in the 140's which is supposed to be *boy*. And I just feel like I'm going to have an all male household! Good thing that I am "experienced" with your brother, luv! Perhaps I might be wrong, but I just have this *feeling*. If you are a delightful little girl, then I beg your pardon! I am MORE then ready to play dress up with a princess! LOL! Regardless of your gender, you will be loved because you are just you!

This is the last week of the year 2009. 2010 holds some exciting things...mostly you, little Blu! School will start back up for me on January 5th. I do wonder what it will be like being pregnant this trimester. It will probably make the pregnancy go by even faster, as by the time the semester is over, I will be 6 months along!

Well, my dear Blue...I need to go snack on something as you are making me feel a bit off. Don't feel bad, though. I adore feeling off because of you!

I love your forever and pray for you always.

Good morning Lil' Blue!
I hope that you are staying healthy even though I'm a tad bit sick. This weather you are luckily avoiding is quite a mess! It gave your big brother a cold and now me! But I'm confident we'll be 100% better soon.

I took a picture of us today. I thought it would be fun to document how we grow each week. I might regret this later when your mommy looks like she ate a watermelon whole...but for now I think it will be fun to see how we are changing.


I've compared how we look today to how I looked with your little brother or sister I lost earlier this year and I think I look about the same. I would compare how we look to when I was pregnant with your brother Seth, but your daddy hadn't bought me my digital camera yet. So I don't have any photos from that early.

All I know is that you are making wearing my jeans quite difficult, luv! LOL! Me thinks that I will be wearing my "fat" jeans before too much longer. I've already had to retire two pairs of my regular jeans because they were putting too much pressure on you.

You know, I think the Daily Verse that is on my blog today is just perfect to add to my memory verses. It's from 1 John 3:21-22 and says:

"Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight."

Isn't that just the nicest verse? I especially like the second half because you are living proof of this. We prayed and prayed and prayed and fasted and prayed for you. We obeyed God and kept His commandments and then God in His infinite greatness and kindness decided that He would grant us what we have asked so earnestly for--You! You are our little blessing, Blue. I'm thinking that maybe we will try to name you something that reflects this...but there is time to work all of that out.

Well, your mommy needs to go do some housework. It's not exactly her most favorite thing to do, but it is necessary to keep your daddy from going crazy. Not that your mommy doesn't enjoy making daddy crazy sometimes...but I need to do all the housework I can right now, because when you get bigger, I will too! And that will make it much more difficult.

I'm thinking that you and I both need some lunch--how does Chicken and Potatoes sound? I think it sounds delightful! And then maybe some muffins for dessert? Mmm, glad you agree! LOL!

Well, my darling Little Blue, I will say tootles for now...

I love you now and forever,
