Welcome to Our Blog!

I decided to start a blog so that our friends and family far away can see what's new with our life. The latest most exciting news is that we are expecting our first baby due in March of 2011. Today we a little over 10 weeks. Things are going well so far. We've had a few ultrasounds already and things look great so far. Last week we had a doctor's appointment and we were able to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time. We had seen it on the ultrasound, but we had not heard it before. It was one of the most amazing sounds I've ever heard. It's those little big things that are so reassuring. The doctor had started me on Synthroid because my thyroid levels were a little abnormal at our first visit. I had my lab redrawn last week and now my labs are normal with the low dose synthroid that I am on. God is so good. In the beginning I really stressed myself out with worrying about all the things that I can't control (I guess that comes with being an NICU nurse), but I know that God is in control and all I can do is take care of myself. I have reminded myself over and over again of Phillipians 4:6-7-Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with Thanksgiving present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. I hope this post finds you all doing well.
