Baby King...

Well now that the world knows of the news I guess I can start blogging about it. I am 8 weeks and 5 days pregnant today! At first we had talked about not telling anyone except for our parents but then Nate had a hard time. He played in a golf tournament a couple of weekends ago and all of the sudden I started getting phone calls congratulating me. I was like Nathan what did you do? I thought it was sweet though and he could not help but be excited and just want to tell his friends. I think it's adorable. I know most people like to get our of their first trimester and all of that and especially with us having a miscarriage in our past we wanted to wait, but for sure I think we have decided that the support of your family and friends is the best. The more people praying the better! :-)

Things are going quite well though and this time I think it "stuck". Haha! I am about 2 weeks further than I was last time I miscarried and I am having way more symptoms which I was told was a GOOD sign even if it made me feel awful. So far I have had hiccups, indigestion, nose bleeds, boobs killing me, and NAUSEA! Yippeee! However I am not complaining of this because it means something much more wonderful is happening inside of me! Some days I feel better than others but it seems like things are getting better these past few days.

I go to the doctor again on July 22 and I will then get my sonogram and see the little heartbeat! YAY! I can't even imagine what this will be like! Seems to me this will be the perfect birthday present!

This pregnancy is sometimes bitter-sweet and I say that because I was told at my Papa's funeral that when God takes one he gives us another. When my cousin said that he pointed to my stomach. Not too long after that I found out I was pregnant. I am so thrilled that God has given me this gift, this miracle. I told God that I was on his timing and when He was ready for me to have a baby I would. Until then I was going to enjoy the company of my wonderful husband that I love so much! Nate and I have just really grown closer these past like 5 months. He has really just swept me off my feet a couple of times. Anyway, I can't help but think of my Papa and how I am still so saddened by his sudden death. I am not sure I have really dealt with this sometimes because I don't really feel he is gone. They live five hours away so it doesn't really hit me that he is still gone unless I talk to my Meme or I visit. I know he would just be so thrilled about this and if he were here I could hear him now, "Well Kenley Jill you aren't old enough to be having babies, you are still our little girl." That would be the part he was kidding about. He would be serious when he said he was proud of me and that he knew I would be the best mom and if I ever needed anything I could still come to him and he would help me. I can't help but cry because I wish he could meet my babies. I want my babies to have my Papa in their life. I will just have to tell a lot of stories! Perhaps he has already met the baby I lost. Anyway, bitter-sweet but still so very exciting!!

People keep asking if I have a hunch about what I will have...I seriously have NO idea. I have no clue! It's a mystery! Mom thinks it must be a girl because she has already bought her a coat that has fake fur on it. She is so cute.

Not much else to report. Things have been uneventful around here seeing as how I haven't felt up to doing much. Hopefully I will get my energy back SOON, I feel tired all the time 24/7.

I have a question to close this out...Did any of you mommies drink a Dr.Pepper from time to time? I have had a couple from time to time but not more than one a day and they make me feel so much better! I LOVE them!

Baby bump!

I would say this many positives means there is a baby on the way!
