The Cat's Out of the Bag!

Well, this week has been one of the greatest and most emotional ones ever...we found out a few weeks ago that I am pregnant again! We were so nervous so kept it quiet for a while, but Monday we went for our second ultrasound at which we were supposed to see a heartbeat. We did see one and the doctor thinks everything will be ok! We are so excited. Hearing and seeing the little heartbeat was the most amazing thing ever...it's been so exciting. I have to give myself daily shots and I am on a lot of medicine, I never thought I wouldn't mind those things at all. I'm sure that's the first of things that won't bother me from now on. I realize it's early (I'm just about 8 weeks) and I'm not out of the woods, but it's a great start-I couldn't ask for more at this point.

I feel really good about this pregnancy, I've had morning sickness and all other symptoms you are supposed to have...which is different from my last two pregnancies. I won't ever complain about these symptoms, but if any of you have tips for calming the quesiness, I would love to hear them. I've also learned a couple of things. First, don't stress out a pregnant woman! My emotional state has been horrible & I hate crying! :) Second, life is too precious to worry about silly things. I've decided to focus solely on this pregnancy and not concern myself with the silly things we sometimes find important.

Yay for this new little life! Please keep Zack and I in your prayers.
