I love the fact that I am pregnant, I am in awe that God has blessed us with a child. I love reading about how the baby is growing week by week.
Aren't you amazed at how God made us? Everything has a reason. When our body needs to rest, we feel tired. We have nerves under our skin to tell us if we are hurt/damaged. If we eat something bad for us, our body responds to get rid of it. God made our bodies in a way that should help us look after and protect it.
Here is where I am confused, I am a great believer in the way the Lord made our bodies, but I am confused by morning sickness. I feel neaseous all day, and don't really want to eat much of anything, yet I need to consider the fact that I and my baby need nourishment. Yesterday all I wanted was a chip butty with gravy, which Gibson's (the best chippy in Canada as far as I'm concerned) was happy to supply me with. But how nourishing is that? But, as many people have told me, right now I just need to eat whatever and whenever my body allows. Thankfully occasionally I crave cucumbers (like right now) or tinned tomatoes (last night), so at least I'm getting some veggies;-)

The good, the bad and the ugly
So after the big dump and deep freeze that we experianced last week, I have been pleasantly surprised with some warmer weather this week, today we should get to a high of +3. But then it's gonna go back to the cooler temps by the weekend, oh well.
I had 2 revelations this morning. The first is that one thing I do need to appreciate about living in Saskatchewan and going through the freezing winters, is that at least I don't need to worry about spiders like you do in the UK. The winters are too dry for spiders here , so you only ever see them in the summer! I LOVE IT! And the ones you see in the summer are still not as bad as some of the beast that sometimes reside in my Mum's house.
But that leads to revelation number 2, and that is that I just am going to have to accept that now that I live in Saskatchewan I am going to get sinus infections for as long as I live here. I truly believe that my system just doesn't like the dryness. Even when I am feeling fine and am not sick, most mornings I will wake up with a blocked nose, and that's with a humidifier running through the night in our bedroom, if we didn't have the humidifier going I would be even more blocked up.
Have I ever said how cute my Mum is? She is very excited about the baby and has decided that she's not waiting for my first ultra sound to check the due date, she's booking her flight over now to make sure she gets a seat! I love her.

The long wait.
Well, other than the morning sickness and feeling tired all the time, I don't feel that much different yet. You instantly think that being pregnant means you get a belly in 2 seconds flat right? It's weird how even though you know that's not what happens your still surprised when you still look exactly the same.
I'm excited to start looking pregnant, and to feel the baby moving. Allison has lent me this great book that goes through the pregnancy week by week and has pictures showing what the baby looks like, what it's doing and how it's growing... I love it.
I'm excited about this weekend, especially Saturday night cos I'm going over to Lisa's to celebrate her birthday with her, and we're having... FONDUE.... what a surprise. It's gonna be great.

What a blessing!
We're having a BABY!
I can barely contain my excitement!
Morning sickness is definately not the happiest thing ever, but I haven't actually puked yet, just been feeling nauseous. I have discovered that if I keep snacking the nausea isn't so bad.
Please could you all be praying for us, that the baby will continue to grow, be healthy and stay safe.
