WOW! WOW! WOW!


This is the image starring me in the face three weeks ago yesterday. It may seem not that shocking to you, but my world stopped for a moment in disbelief! I still can't believe it. I was never upset about it just totally, and completely caught off guard. We gladly except another beautiful child into the Thurston home, but Momma Thurston is so scared of being pregnant. I think other women are much tougher than me. I am the wimp of pregnancy. It totally consumes my world in every thought and lack of deed. I become an introvert in every way even to my family. So if in the next 7 months you wonder if I love you still? I do! I just have a harder time showing it. Poor Dane! I already feel like robot Mother. I'm in the thick of tummy upset, and other 1st trimester problems. But I've learned that is a comfort that everything is normal in my pregnancy. If I feel too good I worry something is wrong. So the estimated due date is November 11th (subject to change). I guarantee I will be so happy and excited when that moment arrives. For now I'm going into survival mode. I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN? I'm thankful for my family and my blessings. I"m amazed by the miricle of life inside me. (I will repeat this to myself 1,000 times a day).

Congratulations! I KNOW you can will! I agree...pregnancy is the worst! But those cute babies are worth it. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. You're in my prayers! This part is no fun! Yuck!! I promise to try and not post anything about food for the next little while. Sorry!!

I still can't make it real. I probably never will make it as real as last time since I felt it all WITH you! I'm so happy for you though. Hang in there!

Maybe Lindsay will finally get a baby sister! :) Hang in there...pregnancy is pretty much awful, but when you are busy taking care of other kids...it will fly by! XOXO

Congrats Beth,Dane and family. Are your kids really excited? Does Lindsay really want a sister? Hang in there. I know I have similar feelings when I am pregnant. I hope your pregnancy goes good.

Congratulations! That is exciting and I hope you get through the tummy upset period quickly. How close will Luke and #4 be? You asked about my boys; they are 21 months apart.

Congrats Beth and Dane!
It's a good thing you are not changing jobs and moving out of state too - oh wait, I guess you are!
Have fun.
