Thank you!!

We are so excited to be expecting baby Mullins #3.  We found out a little over a month ago, and it was so hard keeping it in for a few weeks.  We told Hudson and Harper right before we left for Colorado.  Hudson has been wanting a baby for a year or so now.  He freely announced at Matt's cousins rehearsal dinner that 'mommy was having a baby', and that was over a year ago.  He has told many people that 'when mommy has her baby...', and of course it leaves me explaining to people who don't want to ask, that no I was not pregnant.  When we pray at night Hudson always asks God to 'please bless mommy with a baby.'  Hudson's teacher even asked one of my friends if I was pregnant because Hudson talked about it so much....So needless to say we were THRILLED to finally get to tell our boy that YES!!!  Mommy is having a baby!!  Sweet Harper is so excited too.  They are just going to eat up the role of 'bigger' brother and big sister.  It'll put the kids at 5 1/2 and 3 1/2 when we are due in January.  Perfect!  (Notice it's not a JULY baby.  HA!).  I was beginning to wonder if the only month I could conceive was October.  I had my first drs apt on Monday and everything looked wonderful, and we even got to hear the little nuggets heartbeat.  Music to my ears.  It came with tears and a lot of thankfulness!

How do I feel???   Not so good.  I have to say I have never experienced any kind of baby related sickness until this little one.  It is morning, noon, and night...complete with acid reflux (am I 80??)?  And I have never felt so tired in all my life.  I know this is just part of it, and even in the midst of it all...I am so thankful.  I also know they MUST have changed the recipe for Goldfish because the smell alone makes me gag.  I can't even sit beside the kids while they eat them.  It's the strangest thing!  Needless to say, we won't be having Goldfish for a while.

Thank you all so much for the sweetest comments EVER!  I love my faithful blog readers!  Thank you for sharing in our JOY!  Please keep us in your prayers.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!
