Now, I've finally got something to say.
Here's the truth - I'm not a good secret keeper. Never have been and probably never will be. I created a blog and then I realize I haven't written in over a month. Why? Because I'm not a good secret keeper.
It's been right at five months since Kyle and I had the hardest week (well, few weeks) of our marriage, relationship, and lives. It was a time when God drew us closer to Him and to each other. A time when we questioned what was real, true, and what really mattered. A time when we realized how quickly happiness can come into your life and how quickly it can be taken from you. It was a week when we just floated through the motions and dealt with emotions as they came. But, most importantly, it was a time when we were broken and grew all at the same instant.
Through the loss that surrounded us then, I heard this song. It was simple and healing for me personally and to this day it makes me smile and cry at the same time. (Blessings by Laura Story)
So, what's my "not-so-much-a-secret-anymore" secret? Here's a clue... these are all the things I've wanted to say for um... about 6 weeks now:
"I've eaten so many goldfish, I'm honestly gonna turn orange soon"
"They tell me non-stop nausea is a good sign, but I hate it."
"I'm STILL tired? Really???"
"The smell of meat truly is my enemy"
"If I sit through one more inning of this baseball game, I'm gonna unleash the hormones!"
"Apparently, now I get carsick... and lightheaded often"
"Ahhh!!! I'm just so excited I want to scream!!!"
"seriously??? Donuts are making me sick? No!!!"
"I'm just so cranky - steer clear!" (okay, maybe that was/is Kyle's current opinion of what these hormones are doing to me)
Officially, we're blessed by being 12 weeks pregnant. We're so excited and have been slowly sharing the joy of our news and are now ready to tell everyone! I can finally get back to "blogging" without worrying that I'll slip and can start using this for what I had originally intended - keeping friends and family updated about our ever growing family. We've been to the doctor twice. We've seen a healthy heartbeat of 171 times a minute and got to see little arm and leg "flippers" just a' wiggling.
The first week of March 2012 can't get here soon enough!
