Ps.66 "Shout with joy to God...sing the glory of His name...make His praise glorious!...say to God, How awesome are your deeds!...Come and see what God has done on man's behalf. COME and LISTEN...let me tell you what HE HAS DONE FOR ME!...God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer...Praise be to God who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" After a 5 year journey, we finally adopted our first child!Two years later God gave us our second child!

An Exciting Day
Yesterday was fun and not-so-fun. I had a great lunch with my Aunt Pat and cousins Kathy and Lauren. We went to a quaint little tea room here in Friendswood and had a wonderful time celebrating our pregnancy news. Then...my first bout (more like seven) with morning sickness kicked in. Oh my goodness!!! I will spare you the details. I'm learning now that I need to keep things "just right" with my tummy...not too empty and not too full. My sweet friend Courtney came to the rescue and got me feeling better just in time for Adam and I to go pick up our brand new baby mobile! We traded in my old Ford Explorer (thank you "cash for clunkers" - it really was a clunker...we had to jump start it to get there!) for a Honda CRV. It will have plenty of room for one or two car seats. For those that haven't heard, my HCG level was double what it was expected to be ~ so we might be having twins!! We'll find out next week (Thu) when we have our first ultrasound and hopefully see a heartbeat. Stay tuned!

That's exciting about the possibility of twins! I don't know if anyone's told you but for morning sickness, I've heard those Preggie Pops are really good. They sell them at Babies R Us and Motherhood. Hope you get to feeling better soon!
