Have I really not blogged in 19 weeks?!?

Oh my! I am now 31 weeks pregnant! 31 and a half to be exact, not that I am counting or anything haha. I am feeling pretty good, just the typical not being able to paint my own toes and don't wanna bend over for ANYTHING! But other than that I am just taking necessary naps and trying not to kill myself! For those of you who don't know, I quit my job at Bob Steele due to them not wanting to cooperate with my hours and I just couldn't take 9 hour days on my feet any longer. Everyday my feet looked like blown up hot dogs when I was done. So I am now nannying for a 7 yr old, Gavin, 4 days a week and a 2 year old, Mehrik, 1 day a week and its great! I'm just nannying part time and doing hair on the side! It is SUCH a relief and I am SO thankful. Michael is still at Northpoint and all is well! We have our Childbirth class on saturday and I think it will be very interesting! The nursery is ALMOST done but not completely, there are still some major things we need! I am looking forward to my shower October 4th with my high school youth girls and their moms! It should be a blast:) Here are a few pictures of the nursery& we are actually getting maternity pictures done by Abbi Conroy on monday so be looking for those:)

12 weeks and Going Good!

Well it's my fault because I've been so busy that I havent posted any blogs since like 5 weeks! That's terrible, I promise it will get better! Well here's a picture of my 8 week ultrasound since you missed it!!

I just went in last friday for my 12 week and everything looks good! Michael and I got to hear the heartbeat which is just life changing in itself! I still cannot fully grasp the fact that there's a human growing inside ofmy stomach! God is so good! Doctor Lewis said that since we heard the heartbeat so strongly this reduces my miscarriage rate to 1% which gives me a slight sigh of relief... So thank God for that! I've been feeling pretty good for those of you who are asking, unfortunately Michael and I went to Destin FL this past weekend and I got sick for the 1st time! BLAH!!! But we had a great trip!! I'll be posting that next! Thanks for keeping us in your prayers!!

It's True...I'm Pregnant!!

Oh my, I don't even know where to begin. Well, we had big plans this summer...youth trips and Kenya missions and well, God had different ones! About 5 weeks ago, I was pretty late and figured I take a test just to make sure and it was Negative. Safe!...or so I thought. So two weeks later, I go to get my hair done and my friend Priscilla is like " So when are you and Mike gonna have babies? You guys are gonna have the hottest babies ever!!" And I replied "No no no....not til at least after Kenya, or the end of the year!!" Well it got me thinking again, man now I'm reallllly late. So I go home and decide to take a test....I see a line....and a faint 2nd line and I think, "Oh its broken this one is broken!!" So I immediately jump in my car and bolt to walgreens! Buy two more! This time the ones that say "yes" and "no"...that way I cant argue! I take one and it says "Yes" and another..."Yes"!! I call Michael right away crying hysterically and yelling "Oh my goodness I just took a test, 3 tests and it says YES!! Meanwhile he is at his new job at Northpoint Community Church and apparently I yelled so loud that his co worker heard me! Ha! So I'm just freaking out and he's all calm and goes, "Well...I guess we're gonna have a baby!" Took me a little while to calm down, think it out, and well just breathe. I've always dreamed of being a mother, but wow, this wasn't my timing. It was God's and we both know...His is always better than mine. I sat around all day and just prayed. I knew Kenya was out of the picture and that broke my heart...but Michael assured me that we could go later. So at 11pm Michael comes home from work, opens the door and says...DADDY"S HOMEEEE! Haha he always knows how to make me smile!!

I told my mommi and daddi that night! Mommi is exstatic and Daddi cried! Josh and Kellan are shocked and thrilled! Kellan says " He was born to be Crazy Uncle Kellan!" haha. I tried to keep the secret in but I called Jess the next day! She's always my partner in crime! So my original due date was October 31st ( 2 days after Ryder was born) but God knows how much I hate Halloween and so now I've been bumped to November 11, 2009 (which is my uncle Johns birthday whom I miss very much and would be honored to carry on his special day.) So I'm 7 weeks and a day today, have my next ultrasound on April 3. Here's the first one though...it's an itty bitty.

Just keep me in your prayers. I've heard so many horror stories and well, now that I'm pregnant, I couldnt imagine not being. I've been feeling pretty good. Sleeping alot, and lots of nausea. But nothing worse than that...I'm thankful. Just pray that God would wrap His arms around this baby and carry him/her all the way. I want my child to be healthy and to glorify Christ in evey way possible!

This is the longest first blog ever, but now you know why this blog is called The Sasser Family...because we are on our way to a family! God is so good.
