It is with great pleasure and giddiness (and more than a little impatience) that Daniel and I finally have the privilege of making this announcement to you all...
We're going to have a baby!
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, the fuzzy blur with the over-exclaimed caption is our happy, healthy, little, lime-sized son or daughter. The due date is a special one...February 3rd. This date is not only Daniel's birthday, but it also marks the day that my wonderful mama left this broken life for a much sweeter one when she went home to her Savior.
We're excited.
I've joked that this baby, only 12 weeks along, is already earning a spanking...taking into account the miserable, miserable morning sickness, the headaches, the bizarre food aversions (chicken, coconut, and coffee), the routine acne breakouts, the crazily vivid dreams, and the sciatic nerve s/he LOVES to pinch, this kiddo seems out to get me. Fortunately, I'm told babies like these typically ease up on mama going into the second trimester. Maybe Baby Timberlake just needs some time to get to know me...?
Despite all the aforementioned crimes against me, I already love our baby dearly. Not all the dreams I have are crazy...sometimes I just dream about giving our little one a bath, or snuggling on the couch. I've been knitting a baby blanket and I *love* being able to pour all my love and effort into something that will protect my little winter baby from the cold when we come home for the first time.
I suppose the REAL question this lovely situation begs is...do I have to change my blog title?
oh, Ashley. :`) <happy tears
ReplyDeleteCongrats a million times over for you guys!!!
An adorable lil lima bean you have there. Feb 3 is also Mollie's birthday (and Mollie Nance's, whom she was named after!)
I am so incredibly happy for you and Daniel. I just know that Laura has been doing the biggest happy dance heaven has ever seen. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is a good one. Enjoy this time because there is no feeling like the one of knowing your baby is growing inside you. And wait until he/she starts moving! I know you're probably surrounded by folks ready to help with any questions/concerns but just know that I'm here for you too. Now, I'm going to go finish crying! CONGRATS!!! -Gleeby
