i had to buy this book



we are expecting! we definitely were not expecting another little one so soon but we are thrilled.

i used the belly book during my first pregnancy. it is divided by trimester and includes a page for each week and spots for ultrasound pictures and belly pictures. i like to look back at that first one and felt like i needed to do it for this pregnancy as well.

well, my husband is thrilled and i am more nervous. it isn't having a baby that makes me nervous but seeing the doctor. i am a horrible patient. my blood pressure does me no favors and when pregnant it would be nice for my bp to stay within normal ranges. i am trying to remind myself that at the end we will have a sweet new baby and my visits to the doctor will be much fewer.

so i am busy thinking about names and nurseries and trying to calm myself down for dr visits. i will try to update here often with all the happenings. we are excited and eagerly looking forward to october! your prayers are much appreciated!!!

i will be praying specifically for your blood pressure!
have you tried deep breathing techniques for your BP???...i'm sure it won't hurt to try it. there is a book that i read most of "conscience breathing" (fyi, the writer is pretty out there in a couple areas, IMHO, but i totally love the deep breathing techniques.)
the deep breathing comes from your diaphram instead of the typical shallow breathing. and breathing only through your nose...inhaling and exhaling.
sooo excited for you and your family!!!
