Happy 4 Year Anniversary!

I don't know how today could get any better! It is our 4 year anniversary, Earth Day and we are so excited to announce that we have a little baby on the way!! Baby Dixon is due to arrive on October 30th. I wasn't quite ready to make a formal Facebook announcement so consider it a bonus that anyone who cared enough to read my blog gets to hear about baby first! 

It truly is a blessing to finally be at this point. I have known so many great couples that have struggled when trying to grow their families; I never thought we would be one of those couples too. After several years, that have had some trying and sad times, I am so grateful that we have been able to conceive naturally and continue to carry this baby. After miscarrying our first baby, it was really hard for me to accept that this was actually going to happen but each day I am filled with more and more hope. 

I thought because of the hard time we have had to get pregnant, I have always told myself it won't matter if I get sick, I won't care and I'll just be so happy.  Biggest lie I have ever told myself! haha! Being pregnant is really hard! All day sickness, lots of hospital visits, an ER visit, multiple rounds of antibiotics, hives and lots of other little things have made life pretty difficult. All that is why I haven't really done much and haven't been see outside my house for the last 6 weeks. Now that I'm going into my second trimester, I have started to feel better and that has been a huge blessing.

We are definitely excited for this new adventure! Ready or not!
