week eight

(written 10.10.13)

so i get to pick up this husband today! i am so excited to have him here for a couple days, makes me wish he was here by myself every day because i know things are going to get a lot difficult to do within the next couple months without anyone else around. it will stink.

we have lots planned, which includes telling our parents, our siblings, our families and close friends. my fingers are crossed so hard in hopes that our first appointment goes smoothly. i know the Lord gave us this gift. he knows it's something we can handle, but i still pray to hear the words "everything is normal" and i can relax a bit.

on monday we had our first appointment and unfortunately the baby was playing hard to get because they couldn't get a heartbeat. something about it still being too low (i wasn't even 9 weeks yet), but that's okay. as long as i knew that everything was good and hearing the words "yup, you are definitely pregnant" come from our doctor. i'm still in slight denial.

telling our close family and friends was so exciting and fun, to see and hear their reactions confirmed that it's really happening and the excitement continues to grow.

but later on that day i had to bring the husband back to the airport. waiting another full month until i see him next. Harlee definitely missed him. that last night he was home, she whined if she wasn't in between us, and she had to be touching both of us. melted my heart. the next time she sees him, he will be leaving to go overseas.

  5. Spending time apart when you're pregnant is so hard. I remember being an emotional mess when I was pregnant with Layla and Brian was deployed. So glad that your appt went well! Hang in there! Thinking of you and praying for your family.
