I haven’t written in quite a while, most recently because we have some big news. We are expecting our first baby!
Yes, I am pregnant, going on very pregnant right now 🙂 We are 26 weeks along, due in early December 2022, and so happy and grateful.
And the funny thing is while my first trimester made many things, including blogging, a non-starter, now it feels like a better time than ever to start sharing the life and lessons we’re living these days.
So we’ll try blogging as I go from the second to third trimester and see how it goes!
We have worked for this pregnancy for the past 2 years, longer if you include that among the chief reasons we got married was because that is what we wanted in place to bring our children into the world.
Actually we had a night in Mexico in 2017 where we opened up to each other, knew we wanted to be each other’s person for life, looked each other in the eyes, and asked:
“So, do we make a baby now?”
Quickly followed by, “let’s get married first,” but that’s a story for another day.
The short story is that we did it! We got engaged, got married, and now we are so blessed to, God willing, start our family and contribute the first grandchild and greatgrandchild to the families we came from!
Here’s what we know so far
- We are expecting a girl
- She weighs at least a pound
- She is very active
- She is long enough to “kick” me on either side of my belly at the same time, which she does daily 🙂
While this is not a parenting blog, nor will we make it into one, this journey is a huge part of the created life we will be sharing. We will share bits and pieces of this pregnancy and our baby to the extent we feel comfortable.
If you want to see some of the fun we’ve been having with this news
We’ve been making YouTube shorts, including playing bump or no bump 🙃 And seeing if our sourdough starter survived my first trimester 🙄
