BIG News

Today is the day. The day we open our hearts and share this exciting news with the world.

It's a little big secret that we have known about since June 25th, my dad's birthday. Along the way we have told a few here and there. We have always known that we would prefer support no matter what happens and will choose to celebrate this miracle. I have leaned on the knowledge of those who have gone before me in this motherhood journey and I'm so thankful for all the support.

We have the best family and friends in the world. Not that I ever wanted to think I have doubted myself as a parent but to hear others say we will be great is so sweet. People believe in us, love us and support us. Thank you all for the kind words and sharing the excitement!

I'll be back soon to share more details of the first trimester but to answer the top two questions:

have you been sick? 
Yes, I've been sick. Spent the majority of the summer nauseous all day long and sick occasionally. The moment we saw the baby in an ultrasound made all the sickness completely worth it. :)

when are you due?
As of now the due date is February 29th….Leap year! ;)

Please keep us in your prayers during this exciting time! Thanks friends!

What I've Been Reading

I heard about this book from a friend so I checked it out from the library and it was unlike anything I usually read. Sorry kids, this school librarian takes a break every now and then in the summer to read things for my age so adults only for this one.

This is a thriller that involves several characters and each chapter is from the perspective of one of those characters. They are all woven together through different circumstances. I don't want to give it away but this good thriller has your usual suspense and of course a murder.

The con of this book was that there was some language. Not like every other word or anything but about every ten-fifteen pages they loved to throw down one particular word. The setting is in a small place near London, England so every now and then there would be something of their culture that I wasn't familiar with or their lingo.

In all, on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest, I give it an…

No regrets in reading it and it certainly wasn't a waste of time. I enjoyed the suspense which makes me think maybe I would want to read more thrillers.

If you read it, let me know what you think because it is one of those books that after you finish it you just want to dissect it with someone. Thankfully my aunt read it the same time I did so we did just that afterwards.

See ya!
