Oh, Baby, Baby!

Well, Babycakes moved out of her baby bed and is in a "big bed" now. We did it this last weekend. I was actually excited about it. She's not been going to bed very good lately, running and hiding in her sister's beds, constantly messing them up after they make them. I felt it was time, she is 2 1/2 now. In the past, we've already had another baby to fill that baby bed and the transition is made because of that. SO this time it was different. It didn't really hit me until I came home from an errand during her nap and my husband had taken down the crib already, in that short of a time. Almost 9 years of having a crib up and it was down and placed in the store room just in a errand's time! That was fine, but then when I saw the pile of baby blankets, I grabbed them and folded them right here on the table, then I cried. My baby is not a baby, she's officially a big girl!! Thank you God for that feeling, that desire of wanting a baby all. the. time.

Isn't her new bed cute? When we moved a year ago, I ordered an extra set of this comforter set knowing that Babycakes would be using it within a year. So they all match, since they are all in the same room!

Wouldn't you know, as soon as we take down the crib, we find out that we are pregnant and having another baby!!! I'm thinking this baby is due in early September but since they take me early, I will deliver in late August. That will make children's birthdays in June, July, August and September!! (and one in March)

OK, now from the moment I find out I'm pregnant, I worry. I run to the bathroom every time I feel something, I worry every time I have blood sugars above 120. (I'm now testing my blood 8-10 times a day) SO please pray for this baby to be healthy. I worry from the time I find out until that sweet little baby is out and in my arms.

I know it's early to tell, but, I want those prayers. Please. I'll pray for you too. I also believe in acknowledging it is a baby at the moment of conception!!

Thank you, God for a 6th soul to entrust us with. We are SO blessed and SO thankful.

***update: Since people are asking, I am feeling a little more tired, even with going to bed between 10-11pm every night. (this is a big step for me) I have lost my appetite but am not sick yet...that will happen in a couple weeks, so I am enjoying it now. I gave up my Diet Coke, but am sure I will break down once in a while and have one. I do get really sick and will not even be able to look at the computer screen in a few weeks without feeling dizzy. Feeling sick is a sign of a healthy baby, so bring it on!!! All my sickness is offered up for the health of the baby. All suffering has a purpose. I threw up with Ballerina Rosie (now 6) the most. I threw up at least 3x a day and gagged a ton more. I remember leaning on the kitchen sink and crying..."I'm one more day closer" One day at a time is the best advice I can give. SO you won't see any baby widgets saying 200 and some days left...that's just too overwhelming for me! Maybe at the end I'll do that!! Remember with diabetes, I will have to somehow get those calories back in me after throwing up, because the insulin is already in me. I will be buying sugar 7up soon.

Thank you all for your prayers, you are all wonderful!!
