That funny feeling

It's funny when your pregnant, you see things different. You feel things differently and you start to do things differently. Suddenly I'm really conscience of my diet. I always said I would eat healthy before, but now, I'm really trying hard. However, baby is making me hungry ALL the time. I feel like after I eat, within minutes I'm hungry again. AND I'm constantly going to the bathroom. I realized yesterday that my dress pants are snug. I was pretty happy to take those off and put on some jeans. I'm learning that I love the low rise pants even more now than before. It doesn't hurt as much.

We are really excited for tomorrow. We get to see your first picture. We are praying that you are healthy and that everything is going well in there. Also, tomorrow is our 4th wedding anniversary. I can't think of a better thing to do on our anniversary than to see pictures of you. Later that night, we are going to go and get all your grandma's and grandpa's Christmas presents. They still don't know yet. Boy, are they in for a Christmas surprise!!!! Baby, we love you and we can't wait to see you tomorrow!

I keep thinking about how amazing God is in all of this. How he set everything to work just right and how the human body can care for and manage another being. I keep reading about development and where this baby could possibly be right now. We went to our first doctor's visit yesterday. It was for medical history, bloodwork and other things. They gave me a packet of information also. We go next Thursday for our first ultrasound. We will find out then how far along we are in this whole process. Wow, this is going to make some amazing Christmas presents! We keep thinking about all the different ways we can surprise our families with this news. God has definitely blessed us this year with a joy beyond all measure. Little one, we are still praying for you everyday. You are so loved, and I pray that you can feel that love.

Amazing

We have an amazing God. Today, I cannot grasp that. I have so many questions, yet at the same time so many answers. Baby, you have no clue how much you are already loved. No clue how much you have already been prayed for. We found out last night and both dad and I are still in a little bit of shock. I think that dad may be pregnant too. He sure is acting funny. I can't wait until tomorrow. We have our first doctors appointment to find out more about you. I've spent most of today not working and looking up information on your development. I can only guess how far along we are. It's really an amazing thing to think about. Yesterday was a big day in the Sparrow household. We were told how much longer mom is going to be working at Universal Map. Then we were told about you. Words really can't describe the feeling of knowing that a baby is growing inside of me. It's hard to fathom.

Today is Aunt Tonja and Uncle Todd's Anniversary. They have been married 15 years now. We called Aunt Tonja last night because they are in Mexico. We wanted to give her the news and ask her to keep it a secret until Christmas. You are going to be a great Christmas present for a lot of people, us included. It's hard to keep such an amazing secret. I want to shout it out to the world, but it is not time yet.

Baby, we love you. Please know that we prayed for you today.
