Any guesses as to the importance of that date?? Well, chances are nothing will actually happen on that day for us, but it is the date that the next 9 months will evolve around....we're pregnant again! We have enjoyed Harper so much, that we decided we wanted another baby!  I'm only 5 weeks along, and I know you aren't supposed to tell people until after the first trimester, but we don't abide by that rule for 2 reasons: 1-we just can't, we get way too excited!  2-we want all of our friends to be praying for this little baby from the beginning. So please pray for Questington. That is the nickname for this little one, named such by Will Heck. (Thanks Will.)

Even though it's so early, this pregnancy already feels different than when I was pregnant with Harper. Some of the symptoms are the same, but I was not nearly this emotional! I only had a couple of crazy moments the first time, and I can remember them. Already I've had more mood swings than I can keep up with! And I so do not want to be that crazy pregnant lady!!

I'm extremely tired all the time...that's no different than the first time. But that just encouraged me to give notice at World Market, which I did on Monday. No more working till 10:00 at night and getting up at 4:40 to workout. I can't do both, so crossfit won. I know if I stop now, I'll never go back after the baby is born. But don't worry, it's very safe. Crossfit has a whole website devoted to pregnant women...what exercises you can and can't do, different things to be aware of during the different trimesters while you're working out...it's very helpful. You can see it here: Crossfit Moms

So thank you in advance for the prayers. We are so excited, and I'm also convinced that Harper is going to be an amazing big sister!! Can't wait to see her in action!
