So I haven't blogged since finding out we were pregnant and I wanted to catch up before Jacoby comes in a week :) I love being able to look back through previous months and read back over how God worked in our lives. These past 9 months have been such wonderful, precious memories that I want to hold on to forever...
After Jacob's grandmother passed away in September 2011, Jacob and I decided it was time to begin a family...from death Christ brings life and we saw it as God's perfect timing. Little did we know that we'd be getting pregnant within ONE month of trying!! We of course went through the month of January having no idea that we were already pregnant, but we should have known better bc we come from fertile families :)
Over the Christmas break, Molly, Amy Beth and myself decided to do a half marathon in March, so we started the training together and we were doing so well! The whole reason I told them I wanted to do another 1/2 was so that I could get into really good shape BEFORE I got pregnant, but little did I know that I already was!
8 mi run right before I found out
So besides exercising vigorously in the first few weeks of conception, I also painted my laundry room with Molly and helped my mom paint a bathroom in their home. Everything you read says NOT to paint and inhale the fumes during those very important developmental stages of the 1st trimester. Not only did I paint twice, but it was in very confined spaces with the door shut!
And not only did I workout vigorously and paint, but we also went to a wine tasting while Bekah and Ryan were here over Christmas break. Lesson learned that when you're trying to get pregnant you need to be a little more cautious about what you're doing bc you never know if you already are pregnant :)
