I have not been able to write on here for several weeks because I've been harboring a secret. Considering it's my very own secret... it's the only thing I want to write about. Considering the secret is controlling my entire life... my mind could not reach beyond this secret to write about anything else. Now that my family and close friends know, I have the freedom to share my secret! THANKFULLY... because I really need an outlet to share my joys and complaints :)
So here goes... I'm growing a tiny baby in my belly and have been doing it for the past 9 weeks. I had a negative pregnancy test for so long that I've only known about it for 4 weeks. BUT NOW... I know how pregnant I am because of the moodiness, nausea, throwing up, larger (even larger) breasts, nausea, throwing up, cravings, aversions (I will buy a huge box of oranges because it's all I can eat and then decide the next day I can't stand them), fatigue, and nausea. For the record, I want throw up right now... and even while I'm asleep... I will get out of bed at 2 AM to throw up :( YUCK! These past couple of weeks have been really difficult and I'm thankful but looking forward to the next trimester.
Was it planned? Yes! Flip and I decided to place things in the Lord's hands for Fall of 2008 about a year ago. However, we were surprised considering so many sources and friends told us it could take 6 months to a year. For us it was less than a month... and we are excited, ready, nervous, and so thankful for this opportunity. We both want a large family and have done our part to get the show on the road :)
OK, now that's off my chest... I can write again! I promise to dwell on the misery of this first trimester... sorry! Only 3-4 more weeks.

Hey Christie! I occasionally get to check your blog and did so this morning only to find the sweetest blog from you!!! Congratulations!!! I am so excited for you!!!

Hey Christie! Hope you are beginning to feel better. We missed you and Philip at Thanksgiving. Hope we get to see
you during the Christmas Holidays. We enjoy reading your blog!
Congrats! It was painful seeing Matt & Heidi in church all those weeks knowing about it and not being able to spill the beans. I was so relieved when he told me yesterday that you told him. Phew! I didn't ruin it for you.
Hope your throw up sessions are on the way out. Literally!
P.S. On the way down to NY everytime the boys saw "your" car they asked.....Is that Flip & Christie?
