Yes, I’m still alive! And still pregnant! 🙂

Thank you so much for all of the wonderfully positive and encouraging comments and emails regarding my pregnancy. I’m going to save a copy for the baby scrapbook. Peanut will enjoy knowing how excited so many people were about his/her anticipated arrival.

It has been fun to tell people. Almost everyone that we called and told has screamed and/or cried. It is humbling to realize how much people care about you and how many have been praying. After you haven’t been able to get pregnant for a long time, you kind of stop discussing it with people and don’t ask people to pray for you like you do earlier on. It is so encouraging to discover people have continued to pray all along.

As you can probably guess by my lack of entries, I haven’t been feeling so hot. I’m not sure how much is the pregnancy and how much is the antibiotic the doctor put me on for an infection. I’m halfway through the medicine and can’t wait to be done. Yuck. I hate taking this stuff. Yesterday while I was on the couch I contemplated the virtues of only having one child and the medical marvel of vasectomies. Ok, well only a tiny bit seriously. Everyone keeps telling me it will get better and it will be worth it all when I hold my baby. I’m not quite there yet, but trusting they are right. It helps that there are tons of cute babies on TV commercials. 🙂
