Gods Plan Not Mine

Not much has been going on which I guess is a good thing.  Today I have made it to 11 weeks and sometimes it's still hard to believe.  I still struggle daily with the fear of losing our little nugget, but am working better at trusting the Lord.  Having my doppler at home doesn't hurt either...lol. 

I can definitely say that pregnancy brain is a real thing.  Never in my life have I been more forgetful!  Every day when I leave the house for work I end up forgetting something.  On Tues I even made my poor (wonderful) big brother drive 30 min to my house to get some important papers I forgot and needed at work.  I have to say without my brother Kenny these past couple of weeks I think I would have gone crazy.  He is the only family member I told about the pregnancy and he has been great.  Does he really want to hear every last detail?  Probably not.  But he sits there and listens and shares my excitement.  He is also amazing on the computer and made these beautiful pictures to put in frames for the gift we are going to give my parents and sister to announce we are pregnant.  Just so they don't figure it our right away, Kenny is even wrapping them and acting like they are gifts from him!!!  The frames have the most recent sono picture with a matting around it that says Worlds Greatest Grandparents/Aunt and a tiny little picture of a baby in the corner.  When we get them on Christmas Day I will take pics and show you his masterpiece.  Hubby was also away during my work Christmas Party and my brother came with me instead!!  I'm so lucky to have him.

Speaking of siblings, I have made the crazy decision to invite my other big brother and his wife.  Many of you may remember her as the car keying wacko from this post.  She is due exactly one month before me and I feel that maybe God has given us these babies as a way to make things right.  Besides I miss my brother and his son a lot.  So please pray for me that I didn't make a bad decision and that my SIL and I can work out a cordial respectful relationship.

Otherwise things are pretty uneventful and I am just waiting until our first midwife appt. on the 23rd.  Sadly I don't think I'll be getting a u/s but as long as we get to listen to the baby I'll be fine.  A new pic would be nice for the frames though.  Then on Christmas we will finally get to share the news with my family!!  Can't wait!!!
