plugging along!

So, onward and upward. So far things are going well. I am starting my third month, week nine! This week has been a crazy one. My birthday was Friday, but I had such a miserable day that I didn't even care. I was just an emotional wreck. I had cramps all morning and I was crying, convinced that I was having a miscarriage. Come to find out, week nine is when the uterus really starts to stretch and as long as your cramping is not accompanied with bleeding, you are okay. I wish someone would have told me this stuff. I had myself so worked up. Hormones are a crazy crazy force. Pregnancy is like PMS times a thousand. Otherwise, I am feeling pretty well. I am exhausted which is typical. I only threw up once and have been munching on crackers before getting up which has really done the trick. I still get nauseated but I haven't been vomitting. Praise the Lord. My husband has really been getting a kick out of me. He hears my alarm go off at five am and then a bunch of little munching. He said I sound like a little mouse. I told him I would rather munch and sound like a mouse than throw up!
Seth is really getting excited which is so fun to see. We went to babies R us to browse around last night. It was wild. We need alot of stuff. And, I don't even know all of the stuff we really need! I mean, I know the basics but they have so much out there. It was really overwhelming. We were walking around in there and seeing all of the babies. It makes me so excited. I can't wait until I can hold our baby. So much to think about!
I am so thankful to the Lord for this gift. I feel so undeserving. The Lord is so gracious that He loves us and gives us what we do not deserve. We are so blessed. I can't thank Him enough.
