Good news of great joy!

We're pregnant! We went for an ultrasound and saw the little one for the first time yesterday. The baby is looking good and has a very strong heartbeat (183 beats per minute!).

Due date: February 25.

We're almost 8 weeks along. I've experienced nausea and headaches since week 5, but I've learned what helps (ginger tea and lots of other fluids, eating first thing in the morning, sleeping more) and am feeling a bit better lately (thanks be to God!).

David and I are truly grateful to God for the gift of this child and we ask your prayers for a successful pregnancy and delivery! Thank you. :)

YAY!!!!!!

Every time I click over to your blog it's with hope that I will see this happy announcement! Praise be to God! I am SO happy for you!

Frances, I know you asked me a while back about "The Business of Being Born." I'm terribly sorry to say that, while I intended to reply promptly, it slipped my mind and I only now remembered! Although I haven't seen it, I'd still be happy to answer any questions you have, or just "chat". Please feel free to e-mail me (melissacourt@yahoo.com) if you like!

I can't stop smiling! :)

Prayers for you and your little one!

YEAH!!!! Congratulations!! I am soooooo excited for the both of you!! Nausea is always a good sign. Praying for you and your little one. My first was born in February.

p.s. I saw the Business of Being Born and really enjoyed it. Although, I already agree with everything the movie was saying. This baby will be my 4th midwife birth, 3rd birthing center birth. I can't say enough good things about midwives!!
