I am now in week 11 of this first tri-mester. I have only been to the ER once to be re-hydrated and they started me on the chemo anti-nausea pills since then. I am just now beginning to feel "normal". Heck, I even mopped the floor today! And only fell asleep once!
Randy and I really thought our family of 5 was doing great, until we both started to feel that there was one more baby we needed to complete our family. (Of course, Randy just asked if this is really the last one. GLARE.) We thought about it and then BAM found out we were pregnant, so it must be meant to be. Hey, Randy and I are both the fourth kids in our families, so we needed a fourth in our family too.
The kids have known since I've been sick, which was immediately. I wanted them to know I was sick for a good reason. They are thrilled. This baby is due on Lindie's birthday--November 13th--so Lindie is especially excited. Michaela just told me she has a baby in her tummy. My youngest brother and sister just had babies within the last week, so I think Michaela doesn't want to be left out.
I have an added testimony of Relief Society in action. This ward has been phenomenal. Meals for a week, just because. Offers to pick up kids from school, watch the kids, etc. I get at least one note a week from some sweet sister in the ward letting me know how happy they are for me. Calls everyday from someone. I have felt of their prayers and feel uplifted. Relief Society rocks!
And my husband is truly amazing. He spent his entire Spring Break last week taking care of me and our family and our house--all with enthusiasm and a cheerful heart! He is going straight to the Celestial Kingdom. If I can only coast on his coat tails, I will feel blessed.
Overall, we are amazed that Heavenly Father has blessed us with another baby to join our family. This baby LOVES Italian food, so we call it "Baby Luigi". Lasagna anyone?
