| so today, daniel and i went on a really great 'due date' date.
we took a gift certificate to ten thousand villages and did a bit of shopping there...the sales lady was so darn sweet... she kept patting my arm.
near the italian market we bought a watermelon and the best ever mexican flan.
we went to target to exchange a shower gift for a nursing bra and some undies for dan.
we rummaged around in the discount fabrics area at "jomarr" and purchased some great colours to make into baby wraps.
we had amazing mexican food for dinner at 'la lupe'.
we came home to our quiet house and happy dog.
we are waiting patiently.
this is a great day.
i wake up and go to sleep and walk around my day thinking this:
"you could come today! is this the day?!" |

| So here it is... February 23rd.
I was looking back at the last entry I wrote here on xanga, and I could hardly believe that it was almost two months ago. Woah, ko.
I have some news, though many people have already heard.
Dan and I got pregnant on our honeymoon!
Apparently that can happen, even when using "precautions".
We found out sometime not long after new years and have been pretty overwhelmed, amazed, excited, and extremely thankful.
Our God knows so much more than we do what beautiful things can come from our lives.
Tomorrow I'll start my 12th week of pregnancy (though technically I've only been pregnant for 10? it's confusing to me too). This week the baby was the size of a fig and I'm beginning to think I'm through the worst of the nausea and getting my appetite back.
Please pray for Dan and I as we apply for health insurance and get guidance in all the new details we're considering in our life together. I haven't been to a doctor yet, since that could throw a wrench in the health insurance applications....it's such a strange and sad health-care system down here in the U.S. The priority is definitely not expecting mothers and their babies. We trust our God with all these details and thank Him for the gifts He generously gives us.
We're still simply getting used to being married (which is wonderful and such a gift) so expecting a baby so soon is quite a big wonderful challenge to go along with everything else. It's all new and good.
