Happy Halloween 2010

*Disclaimer: I do not know this baby but it is cute!
We're expecting a new baby at the end of October!!
I am currently 11 weeks along. I feel ok, just nauseous in the afternoon. I am starting to get some energy back which is a relief. I was starting to feel like a permanent attachment to the recliner. All in all, I feel pretty good and I am thankful that I have not had my head in the toilet !!! I had an ultrasound at 8 1/2 weeks. I can't remember exactly but I think the heartbeat was about 170. I think I feel pretty similar to how I felt with Lennox. I am definitely showing faster but that is to be expected with a 2nd baby (& the 5lbs I never lost from Lennox... but that's another story). I am craving breakfast food so much lately. I have got to get some self control and stop getting my breakfast food at McDonald's/Sonic!
We are all very excited about the new addition to our family but we are anxious about some big decisions we have to make between now and then. Although I have faith that God will provide for us, I am almost certainly developing an ulcer over the worry of being laid off, Jay changing jobs, not knowing where we will be, not knowing if we will sell our house, starting school, and the list goes on and on. Apparently, I'm much more of a control freak than I had previously thought!? Although we are facing so big changes, I do feel confident that we are moving in the right direction. Doors seem to be opening for us so I feel like that is God's way of assuring us we're making the right decisions.

Congratulations! I'll be thinking of you and praying for you...I am also a planner and creature of habit, and I know how it is to not know how things will work out.
