Little Wes or Brittany on the way...


So I have been telling myself to get on and blog about this for quite some time now, but things have been busy and...believe it or not... I have been too tired to come sit at the computer and blog! Anyways, it is true. We are having a baby! He/she is due August 23rd. We are very excited.. we have been waiting several months for that home pregnancy test to turn positive! God's timing is perfect, we know that. Wes is kindof freaking out a little bit.. haha. As for me, I am every pregnancy sign and sympton by the book! I have NO idea why they call it "morning" sickness... It has been quite more than that to me leaving me nauseated at all hours of the day. Thank goodness my DR got me some Zofran- it has helped me to feel less miserable. The fatigue is strange. I am tired a lot anyways from working night shifts, but this tiredness will just all of a sudden hit me like a train and I won't be able to keep my eyes open. The urinary frequency is very annoying. And that will last until the end(and probably get worse). I never have been one to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, but that happens at least once if not twice now :( Hopefully this nausea will pass soon... I think I can handle the other stuff. I am 8 weeks and 3 days now. I heard the heartbeat and got sonogram pictures at my appointment when I was six weeks. I was definitely not expecting to hear the heartbeat that early!! If I would have known, I would have made sure poor Wes was there, but he missed it :( We go back in 2 weeks though.. it makes me a little anxious to be in between appointments not knowing what is going on. I am praying that Little Prather is growing strong.

I will follow

Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow...

All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone
Higher than my side
High above my life
I will trust in you alone

Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow you
Who you love, I'll love
How you serve I'll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you

Light unto the world
Light unto my life
I will live for you alone
You're the one I seek
Knowing I will find
All I need in you alone, in you alone

In you there's life everlasting
In you there's freedom for my soul
In you there joy, unending joy
and I will follow

As this is my prayer. Not to make my own plans, but to wait for God's plans and to follow wholeheartedly.
