No Doubting those blue lines...
Well, these past few days have been pretty great! I've been feeling hungry A LOT! Which is good considering I've been feeling sick for the past month and a half. Goodness! I'm seeing the effects of actually eating on my body. My waistline is GONE! It's a strange thing to see a thick waisted Jessica instead of slim waisted Jessica. It's all for a good cause though, right? LOL. If you haven't already guessed by now, Mick and I are going to have a baby! Woohoohoo! "WHAT?" You might be thinking. Or maybe, "Wait, how long have you been married?". Or even, "You're CRAZY for getting pregnant so soon!". Well all I'm going to say is that Mick and I worked so hard to make it to the temple for our marriage. We promised to do the Lord's will and plan. He obviously wants us to have a baby. I mean come on. It's not like we were trying to get preggers. It just happened. We're both extremely excited for baby to come join our family! Having a baby will only bless our lives. I'm so happy that we can see the Lord's hand in our life. I'm not going to lie, having a child changes "our" plans up a bit. I still haven't finished school. I don't want to even think about that yet...is that okay? I decided in church today that I really just want to focus on baby and my husband right now. Why stress myself out when it is so obvious that this is what I'm suppose to be doing. I've always had a natural talent and a gift with children. I am just a natural mother. I can't explain the way I feel about a child. I just automatically am filled with love. My mother told me the other day that when she see's me with a child she can feel the spirit! What a compliment! I needed to hear that so much. Being a mother scares me a little bit. I guess because we were not planning on becoming parents so soon I didn't really prepare my mind. But hearing my mother say that about me made me realize that all I need is to do is keep the Lord's commandments and He'll help me the rest of the way. He has always done that for me. I am falling in love with my baby more and more every day! I love seeing my growing tummy. I love reading about my growing baby. Right now at 11 weeks pregnant (baby is 9 weeks old. And Yes, this is a honeymoon baby. Don't judge! LOL), baby has all it finger nails and is growing down-like hair. I cannot wait until I can go to the doctor and hear the heartbeat! And find out if its a girl or boy! (I'm pretty sure its a girl). Mick and I sometimes lay in bed and think about all the names we like. We haven't found one we're loving just yet. Mick is so wonderful! He continues to make me laugh and love me unconditionally. He gives baby kisses through my tummy and gets excited to see me getting bigger. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE my Mick so much! He's been so great about this whole situation. He always is there to comfort me when I have my emotional break downs about parenthood. He tells me that it'll be alright and that he is so excited and I should be too! Hehe. He'll be a wonderful Daddy. I am a lucky girl! Life is crazy sometimes. I still have moments where I just have to sit down and be amazed at how my life has turned out so far. I'm married to an amazing man. And not until "death do you part", but for all of time and eternity. I'm going to have a baby. This baby will be born in the covenant! WOW! I'm so happy! It feels good to tell people flat out that there's a bun in the oven! I'm getting close to my 2nd trimester. I can't wait until its just obvious I'm pregnant. hehe.

Just keep the Lord in the middle of your marriage and family and he will continue to bless you!! Loves to you!!! Hope your preggers goes AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO the cat is finally out of the bag! LOL I am so happy for you both and I know you will be amazing parents!!!
ReplyDeleteI really can't think of someone more prepared for this. Some people would be married longer and still not be as ready and prepared as you are. Your family did an amazing job raising you and it's obvious what a great mother you are going to be. I am so excited for you. There are lots of times that aren't easy, but I know you are going to love it. Everyone is different and you know what is right for you, don't let anyone make you doubt your decisions.
ReplyDeleteEvery time that I see a pregnant women, I think about you, and how happy I am for you and Mick! Also a little sad because i won't be there to see with a big tummy. At least there will be pictures! love you tons
ReplyDeleteJessica, great post. I love you. I'm so excited for you both. Babies change our lives SO MUCH. They are wonderful, hard, delightful, challenging, exciting, tiring, and the best thing that will ever happen to you both. They make us laugh till we cry, and cry till we laugh. They bring us to our knees in fear, hope, and agony sometimes. Through it all, they teach us how to love and make us realize how much our Father loves us--drawing us closer to Him. Can't wait to see you.
