Big News from the Maddox House!

Well, we decided it was time to announce to the blog world that..................we are having a BABY!!!!!! I am at 13 weeks, so that is just over 3 months, the beginning of the 2nd trimester. We are very excited! We have waited so long for this. After several years of 'trying,' I did not have successful pregnancy. We went to see a specialist at Wake Forest Center for Reproductive Medicine. We finally had success! I know that it wasn't all us and the specialist. We have said many, many prayers and God answered them. God is good! The due date is February 1, 2010. Things are looking good so far. We went to the Dr. today and he said that we have a very active baby! Great! At out next appointment in 4 weeks we should be able to find out what the sex is. Yes, we are going to find out. We have waited three years for this, I think that is long enough. I think it will be a wonderful surprise to see our baby for the first time.

So far it has been a great pregnancy. I have not had any morning sickness. I have felt a little icky a couple of times, but nothing big. I have been tired. Bedtime is usually about 9pm. No weird food cravings. I think I am using the pregnancy as an excuse to eat some things and not others. That's ok, right? Simon is doing a great job of making sure I am eating right. He is asking me daily if I am taking my vitamins, eating fruit, and resting. He is great.

I will keep you updated as to how things are going.
