Goodbye 1st Trimester and Hello 2nd!!! =)

Hello everyone! Well since Matt wrote the first blog I get to do the second one. So I have to start off by saying that I am getting so excited to be mom!! Everyday gets closer and closer. I guess I can tell you that I am now 13 weeks!! Wow, it has went fast now that I think about it.

I will also tell you how I have been feeling and such. My 11th week was a fun one! Ummm not!! I got to experience some throwing up..blahhh..=( It was not a fun day. Other then that day I usually have something wrong everyday. Matt I think is getting used to that. He is very supportive!! When I ask him to get me soup or 7up he runs to the store and gets me some. He is such a blessing to me. Lately I haven't been sleeping very well. I am trying to get used to sleeping on my left side but it is just hard when you can't get comfortable.

Cravings: Well all I have to say is SOUP!! Yum..I love soup..=) No other weird cravings yet. Tomatoes are a no no at this moment. =( The other day at church Matt said something about me eating a lot of tomatoes lately and I had to go to the restroom. I was almost throwing up. Even writing this is not good..blahh..Ok next subject.

My clothes! Wow they are getting a bit snug. I went to go look for some at Value Village the other day and I am having troubles in the butt area.. lol My belly is fine its just the butt. I guess that is a good thing.

Well I hope that was a ok blog. Here is some pics and a video of what the baby looks like and doing.

How our baby's growing:

Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.

Also we did go to the doc recently and got to hear the heart beat for the first time. =) Very exciting thing. It felt real. The baby is going to be a kicker. When we were hearing the heartbeat the baby was kicking like crazy. =)

So the pictures of the clothes I just bought and they were only 99 cents..=) Oh yea that is a deal..First prego clothes. They are cozy.

Thanks for reading our blog and please keep us in your prayers.

WELCOME!

Our apologies for waiting so long to write this first entry. I(matt) will take the blame for that. I honestly haven't even known where to start. What should I say? How do I wrap up all of the emotion? How do I share all of the beauties of this wonderful time? These have all been questions that have prevented me from writing this entry up until this point. Today is different I guess...

Kati and I started trying to get pregnant on the 15th of May. We were unsure about the whole process: how long it would take, what things we could do to help make us "more fertile", etc. One thing we did know was that we really had no control in the whole process at all. We knew that we could do whatever we wanted, but in the end, God is sovereign over the womb and He is the one who decides if or when we get pregnant. Fortunately, for some reason only He knows, God decided to make it very easy for us. We got pregnant the very first month of trying.

On June 18th Kati took a pregnancy test. "Matt, come here." She handed me the test - two little lines. "No, that doesn't mean positive does it?!" I was in very much disbelief. Apparently Kati was to, because she ended up taking 5 pregnancy tests!

I will let Kati write the next entry and she can share with you about how the pregnancy has been so far. She's much better at explaining that than I am. We hope to update this at least twice a month. It should be a really cool tool for us since we have family all over the place who can't partake in the pregnancy with us in person.

We'd ask that you would pray for us and our baby. Pray that our baby would continue to grow and stay healthy. Pray that Kati and I would be able to stay connected amidst the craziness of the first trimester. Pray that God would prepare Kati and I to be good, godly, gospel centered parents. And most of all, pray that The Father would save our baby, set him or her apart from the womb, adopt him or her into His heavenly family.
