First glance

We had our first glimpse of our little bundle this week. I was thrilled because Daniel got to be there and when they put the monitor on my belly to take a peek the baby just started dancing around. He/She moved almost the whole time she was monitoring... something I hadn't see with my other two. We just might have a wild child on our hands, at least a groove machine.

My morning sickness has been unrelenting. It "switched" off with my others at 12 weeks, but here we are almost to week 13 and I am still dealing with quite a bit of nausea all day long. It's been 6 very long weeks and I can't wait till this part is over. Seeing the baby was so helpful though because it really does give you a visual for all the problems that I'm having to endure. Soon we'll be able to feel the movement and I love that stage.

Our lives are constantly changing and "morphing" it's exciting but exhausting too. We've decided to put Ethan in public school for the first time this year. He is so thrilled and so am I. He is going into 2nd grade and he really thrives on interaction with others, I just know this setting will be perfect for him. I will have Micah home with me again this year and I'm looking forward to some one on one time with him that we've never really had. So in two weeks we'll be sending Ethan off and beginning a new school year.

Daniel's cousin Paul also gets married in about 2 weeks so we have a bunch of family coming in for that amazing event which is such a thrill. We'll have a very full house for a few days, but there is nothing more fun.

And to top it all off Fall is in the air, my favorite time of year. We are just counting all of our many amazing blessings, ones that seemed lightyears away this time last year. It's amazing how God truly does make all things beautiful in His time!!

We're grateful to be on the beautiful side of things now.
