Morning sickness

I really wish I would make time to blog more but I just know it's not going to happen. But I am so thankful to have these little snipets to look back on as our family grows. Will and I email the kids and we will give them those email addresses when we feel they need it most, possibly their 18th birthdays or before they get married. But I'm glad to have the occasional blogposts as well. I found out we were expecting our third child on September 22, I had a very faint positive test, on the 25th it was boldly a YES! Since you can't have a false positive I don't know why I felt the need to take 3 tests total! I just couldn't believe it! I was just praising Jesus for this new little life! Will had already been living in Maryland where we were moving to shortly so I didn't think it would happen so fast! That's a gift I don't take for granted, with so many suffering with the grief of infertility, when I get sick with morning sickness or have to go on bed rest, etc I remember to be thankful that it's easy for us to get pregnant. Which brings me to my second point, morning sickness, I just feel so miserable all the time. It feels like constant motion sickness. It started on the 9th and got progressively worse. I have had several hour stretches in these last 11 days that I feel almost normal, but I still cry I want the sickness to go away so badly. I know it means a healthy pregnancy so that is a gift. I go to the doctor for my first appointment tomorrow. Praying for a good report and for some medicine to provide some relief. I think I am 9 weeks along but they will confirm that tomorrow. I want to post soon about Maryland and the big kids but I really quickly wanted to hop on here so I would remember some dates and details.
