Finally, the finally blog

So, according to my list, I have yet to blog about "new news" which is also going to be called my finally blog. Most of those that read this blog have already heard about me being pregnant. That and if you look at my little description of us you will see that I have already added that we are having our first baby in February. So, this blog is a little late in coming and not so new. But, what I am going to do is list some of the things that I thought about when I got pregnant this time. For those that don't know, I had a miscarriage 4 1/2 years ago and after almost a year seeing a fertility doctor we got pregnant again but that also ended in miscarriage (last fall.) I guess I waited to post this on my blog, simply because of the fear that I would miscarry a third time and then have to announce that to the world. However, I am almost 15 weeks along and so far, things are going well. So, I feel it is safe to share my thoughts and excitement about this miracle in my life! We have been waiting for this for a while and so without much further ado, I give you my Finally Blog...

FINALLY
(in no particular order)



*Prayers have been answered! Prayers of Catholic Women in Maryland, of Jewish, Catholic, Baptist, and Mormon women and men alike. Prayers of a 5 year old Christian boy, "bless Miss Becca to have lots of babies." Not to mention prayers of family and friends! It warms my heart to know of all those that have prayed and fasted for Russ and I. I am eternally grateful!
*I will get to use my white blessing blanket that Grandma Larson crocheted for me. It has been sitting in my bedside table for about 5 years.*I will gain weight and be happy about it.
*No more t-v ultrasounds every month.
*No more being poked by needles every month.
*I will knit hats and make baby blankets for my own baby.
*No more mood swings and hot flashes, ok so maybe, but they will be natural rather than being brought on by artificial fertility drugs.
*I'll get to wear these clothes that have been in my closet for a while. Some of which I bought years ago, others just recently.
*I'll get to be a stay-at-home mother. I will bid farewell to my home for the last 5 years. Bye bye to my little munchkins, my v-ball and b-ball girls, Mother Goose, my closest comrades and my life as I have known it. Now I will be a 24/7 mom!
*No more being jealous of every pregnant woman or woman with a baby!
*I can walk through the baby section of a store and not be sad, but excited about the future of getting things for my baby.
*I can pour over fabrics and ideas to decorate a nursery, knowing that I will actually decorate a nursery within just a few months.
*No more visits to the RMG
*Russ will have more than just a wife to come home to.
*There will finally be a "Robinson" grandbaby!
*I will join my siblings on the "baby train." (I am the caboose bringing up the rear.)
