3 + 1 = 4
Hello Baby Edwards...
Our lives are changing in a very big, very wonderful way early next year.
We've known for just about six weeks now and have been doing a ton of celebrating with family (I am just over 12 weeks along).
The idea of a new little person in our lives is sinking in day by day. I am experiencing a crazy mixture of excitement, all-day nausea, grumpiness + mood swings, too-small clothes (which leads to more grumpiness), and that pure amazing this is really happening joy.
I am so hoping that I am coming out of the early pregnancy/first trimester fog (at least I really, really hope so) and am focusing on living fully and in the moment and not taking a minute of this for granted (easier said than done some of these days when all I want to do is sleep all day). As you might imagine I have a big list of things I want to do before this new person joins us and I have been crossing them off the list very slowly one by one.
Simon is pretty darn excited. He came with me to my doctor's appointment yesterday and really liked hearing the heartbeat (even though he was disappointed that he didn't get to see more pictures).
We are all pretty darn excited.
Life is a tremendously amazing thing indeed.
Congratulations Ali, Chris & Simon!! How exciting!!!!
Ali, hope you're feeling better ("morning" sickness is rotten!) and that you have a smooth, happy pregnancy!!

This is so exciting. We just had a new baby 3 days after our first son's 5th birthday, and it has been amazing to see them together. In some ways it's starting all over again, but it's been a fun beginning to a new journey--minus sleep, of course.

Yeah, you have to keep having these little ones to scrap about for us!
WOW! I know at one time you were unsure of having another child...I'm thrilled at a new phase of your adventure.
If this (blogging lately) is you in a fog, we are all so far behind you it's pathetic!
