So most of you already know...but I am pregnant.  We found out this last week.  The guess date is 10/30/10!  So hopefully the baby will stick to my plans and come sometime in October that way I'll have a kid born 6/06, 8/08 and 10/10!  Other than that I'm feeling quite well.  A little bit of nausea but nothing compared to my second but that could change any moment!  I have quite a bit of energy and am taking advantage of it by getting as much stuff done as possible.

On another note of pregnancy...I'm glad to be pregnant again.  I've been blessed and am truly grateful for these blessings.  Also my heart grieves for my friends who are having troubles or are not able to get pregnant.  They are some of the best people in the world and I pray that one day they will get to have this experience.  I don't take my pregnancies lightly as 4 years ago I was diagnosed with endometriosis and a hydrosalpinx (clogged tube).  When you have a hydrosalpinx, the fluid from the tube will often wash away the embryo and so I consider myself very fortunate that I have only had to endure one miscarriage.

I also plan to do some things differently in this pregnancy.  I'm going to try more of a fruit and vegetable diet with lots of whole grains.  Soda is my vice so I'm trying to wean myself and will not buy anymore soda at the store except for Ginger Ale.  We are also opting for a homebirth this time and I'm excited for that time to come.  I'm ready to let my body do what it knows how to do to its deepest core.  I'll keep this blog updated with everything that this pregnancy entails.  We are not finding out the sex of the child so it'll be a surprise the day he/she is born.  So any name suggestions would be welcomed with open arms.
