and we’re back… plus 1

by | Jun 28, 2010 | lifeblog | 8 comments

It’s been SO long since I’ve posted! And we were having so much fun connecting on here… But that’s just the reason I didn’t post. See, I’m pregnant.

let’s jump and squeal in excitement, shall we?! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I don’t do well with ‘surface level’ conversations, relationships, or (apparently) blogging. I knew the minute I logged on that I would spill the beans, so I simply chose to not log on. I didn’t expect how difficult it was going to be to not tell all my friends in the computer! It was. Really. Really. Hard. And I hope you understand the reasoning behind my hiatus. And that you forgive me for being so MIA. And that now you will jump and squeal along with me. 🙂

I am 10 weeks along. I have to pee every 1/2 hour. I have to constantly eat or face the nausea. I am euphoric one minute and in tears the next. I am hot. I am still able to wedge myself into my pants. I am so full of joy and overwhelming thankfulness… I am going to have a baby!!!!!!!!!!

After all the beautiful sharing and discussions and comments, I have a baby inside me (who is now about the size of a large olive and on it’s way to being the size of a small lime) We will go to the doctor in two weeks to hear the heartbeat. And there almost for surely will be just one heartbeat – at 8 weeks the doc said I wasn’t big enough to be housing twins. I’m hoping at that appointment that this will all feel real, ’cause right now it feels like a lovely dream.

Thank you. Thank you for journeying with us. Thank you for praying for and with us. Thank you for your encouraging comments and stories of hope. Please keep coming along as we move ahead into this NEW journey straight from the Lord – you are wonderful.

Encouragement straight to your inbox

I'd love to meet you over a picket fence in our backyards with a cup of coffee and a good story. We'd talk real life, real motherhood, and real encouragement.

Add your email below to get spam-free encouragement in your inbox. I share about the extraordinary ordinary found in mothering. Join me at the fence? I'll send you an email when blog posts come out, and occasional other updates. By the way, you can read my privacy policy here: annarendell.com/privacy.
