Erik, Jenn, Tyler & Mason

Hey everyone! I know I haven't posted anything in forever. I probably lose readers every week I don't post something. Good thing these aren't paid subscriptions. Oh hold on. I have to pee again. And probably throw up too. Be right back. So. If only I was this sick when I wasn't pregnant! Maybe I would have lost weight more quickly. JUST KIDDING! I am really excited to have this baby. But along with the excitement of course, comes a lot of unsurety (is that a word?) and nervousness. Nope, I just spell-checked and unsurety is not a word. How can I be a mom? I can't even speak English. Do you capitalize the word English??? ARGH!!! There is so much unknown.

In 1 Corinthians he says, "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptati...

Well, it's officially announced. Erik and I are having a baby!!!!! This picture shows the 6th - 7th week of pregnancy which is about where I am now. (It's not my baby in the above picture, my baby is much cuter I assure you). So I am totally freaking out. It hasn't even hit me yet. Well except for the hot flashes (am I having menopause???), the heightened sense of smell (I almost barfed when I smelled ciggarettes in Seattle today), the constant hunger (even 3 pieces of pizza couldn't satisfy me last night), and of course the not sleeping (I am WAY too excited). Erik seems pretty happy. I think he was expecting it to happen later, and not so soon. We only just stopped birth control 3 months ago. That was quick! All I can think is that I hope and pray the baby is going to be healthy. It's weird how I'm already thinking like a mom. Like I don't care about anything else as long as I know he/she is born healthy. My biggest fear is something going wrong. ...
