It Is Time… whooooo.
10 Dec
I have been long absent from the world of my blog for some time now. It’s time to end the silence with a post about the most important information that is currently going on in my life (it also actually explains the lack of blogging lately).
I am preggo!
my belly, from my angle
That’s right, ladies and gentleman: through the power of prayer, miracle of modern science and so many other wonderful blessings from the Lord, Bryan and I are going to have our first baby and we couldn’t be more excited.
I am due on May 3, so I’m just about half-way through now. We get to find out what “flava” the baby is next Friday (on my mom’s birthday, I told her I was going to give her a super awesome birthday present. Since it is going to be her first grandbaby, she’s pretty excited too).
So from the beginning: We found out at the end of Aug., and just shortly after that, all-day sickness hit me (morning sickness is a giant lie). Thus, my lack of blogging. When I would get home from work, the only thing I wanted to do was lay on the couch. The absolute last thing I wanted to do was get on the computer. Luckily for me though, Bryan’s younger brother Kevin is currently living with us and during the months that I didn’t want to do anything but die and keep my dinner down, Kevin had made a deal with us that instead of paying rent, he would clean our house. So our house didn’t look like a complete disaster. That was nice.
I was blessed enough to not be terribly sick while I was with my family in Florida celebrating my parents’ 30th anniversary. I must say though, Disney World isn’t as fun when you avoid all the rides that say, “expectant mothers should not ride.” It was still a great trip. While there, we bought the baby it’s first outfit. Finding a gender neutral baby outfit at Disney World was a little bit of a challenge, but Mel’s husband Tyler found the perfect little onesie — it’s Tigger. We did buy a cute little girl’s outfit for my sister-in-law, Lindsay who is also pregnant (she’s due in Feb., having a little girl. Our little baby is going to have a cousin close in age to play with).
I’m feeling great now. I have started to feel the baby move and that might be the weirdest, but most wonderful thing ever. I feel like I’m getting bigger and bigger every day. I’m sure it’s not as big as I think (which is why you get a picture of my belly from my angle, because that’s how I see it. That’s way more interesting that how other people may see it. ha ha). I do have to admit that I’m getting a little bit tired of my nose being stuffy since Sept., but it’s all going to be worth it.
So that’s what’s been going on with me. In the beginning, I couldn’t figure out how to balance life and be pregnant at the same time, but I’m getting the hang of it and things couldn’t be better. I have so much to be thankful for. For me, the road to get here was a little longer than expected, but I am thankful that I went through all the experiences that I did and my testimony has grown so much through these last three years. It has been a wonderful experience.
(As a side note: If you can guess the movie my quote came from, you can have 10 whole points… I actually watched it today.)
Katie I am so happy for you. It is the most wonderful thing to be pregnant… well looking back at it I can say that. Getting pregnant is an issue at our house too. We tried for a long time before our first, then I just kind of gave up, then Whammo. But we’ve been trying again for a year and a half. When your body doesn’t work like you think it should or want it to it is the absolute most frustrating, depressing, and hollow feeling. But I am thankful and blessed to have one. What was your miracle of modern science? Seriously happy for you!
Katie!!!! Yay, yay, yay! Can I just say that every time you posted, I would just pray when I clicked the link, “Let this be the one where she says they’re having a baby” and today was my lucky day. I’m so happy for you!!! I miss our Scroll days together and I can’t wait to see your posts about being a mom. You’ll be fantastic!
I think your quote is from Lion King.
And…I am soooo excited for you.

Wow, wow, wow!! Talk about making my day, this is the most WONDERFUL news! I love the little pregnant belly, it is the cutest (cuter than mine!). I’ve been thinking about you alot lately, and I couldn’t be happier, what a great parents you and your husband are going to be.
Glad you’re over the “morning” sickness, and I wholeheartedly agree it’s a bit of a misnomer. Enjoy the ride, what awesome news!
OH MY GOSH! My nose has been stuffy since September too! I had no idea that was a side effect of pregnancy. Congrats again! And welcome back to your blog!

Congrats! I’m super excited for you guys.
I can’t wait to hear what you are having. Whatever the flavor, I am sure CUTE will be attached. I love your little belly and I can say little because I have you beat for sure.
I’m so happy for you guys. You and your sweet hubby deserve this so much, especially after all the work you went through and continue to go through (pregnancy is no walk in the park).
I wish you the best of everything and I hope May comes quickly.
Woohoo! I’m so excited for you, Katie! Congratulations.
Katie,
I am sooooo happy for you! Be sure to give us a call and let us know what you’re having. We need to plan a shower for you some time soon. Yay! Happy Day.
You watched heart and souls? Do you actually own that or what it on tv?
“…through the power of prayer, miracle of modern science and so many other wonderful blessings from the Lord, Bryan and I are going to have our first baby…”
Um… Your forgetting something. Remember when I said “Hey KT, I bet you’ll be pregnant in the next month”? I think I need to be cited.
Congrats Katie! I know that I already told you that on facebook a little while ago, but I thought that I would say it again. I am so excited for you!
