A new chapter in my life...

I wanted to start a blog to journal about my journey through this pregnancy. A friend that I met throough blogging has done this and I love it! What a wonderful idea to really capture your thoughts.

This is baby #5 for me. I have 4 amazing little boys who I love so much. My husband and I were not expecting to get pregnant right now... or anytime in the near future really... but we believe that this new little spirit is coming to the earth at this time and to our family for a very special purpose. And that alone makes me happy.

I am only 9 weeks along, so I have a long time to go still. I have been pretty sick, which makes life very difficult. I get morning sickness... in the evening. In a way it is nice because I can get up with my husband and kids in the morning and send them off to work and school happily. I then have my husband at home to help me in the evening on my off days. He has been so great through this too. What a trooper. He has done dinner a few times, folded some laundry, done lots of dishes... and that alone is a tremendous help when you are trying to keep from loosing it. I am gratefull. My boys have been wonderful. My oldest has told me a few times... "Mom, why don't you go lay down so you can feel better..." He is 8 and such a sweet little guy. I adore each of my boys and hope this next addition will be just as wonderful. My husband and I don't care wether it is a boy or a girl, just so long as he/she is healthy and all there. That is what really matters.

Right now we are having a hard time trying to pick names. For those of you who know us, this is nothing new. Our kids are never named for sure until they are born. I hate this. I want to be prepared! Another thing I can't wait for is my ultrasound. I have to find out what the baby is. I do not like suprises and that one is just too big to wait until May!! I need to be able to get the things that I need for the baby before he/she arrives. I have to be ready. That is just the way I am... It's all good.
