Happy Mother's Day to all the mommys! A huge Happy Mother's Day to my Mom. As many of you know, my Mom had brain surgery in November, to remove a fist- sized tumor. I can't possibly describe how scary this was for my family, but my Mom is strong and has an unwavering faith in God that has brought her through this challenge. I love my Mom so much, and am so glad she will a part of my life for many many years! I could not have asked for a more loving, supportive Mom who has always been there for me, and is my biggest cheerleader in life.
As many of you now know....Ryan and I are expecting our first child December 10th! We are so excited for this new chapter in our life. Ryan is so sweet, I woke up to a dozen roses, a card from all my fur-children, a card from my baby, and a card from him. I also got a willow tree angel of an expecting Mom. He also made me breakfast....what can I say, he is the best husband ever!
Today we did a fundraiser for our 3 day walk at Yokes in West Richland. We sold bracelets and pink duckies to raise money...West Richland is so very generous! We raised over $200 in just a few hours! It was great to tak to so many people who were survivors of breast cancer, or have been affected by breast cancer. It was a beautiful day, 76 degrees and sunny! I am a little burned, but totally worth it. We met the owners of the Sandberg Event Center and Gathering Place Bistro in West Richland, who generously donated the proceeds of their breast cancer benefit dinner. Be sure to check out the Bistro, where you can eat out on the deck with waterfalls.
After our fundraiser, we went swimming at the racquet club and out to dinner at Sterlings. A perfect day.
So this first trimester has been a little rough on the training, especially because I have been so exhausted....building a baby is super hard work! I am just about 10 weeks, and we were able to hear a strong heartbeat! I have had lots of queasiness, heartburn and exhaustion, but not too awful...I try to remind myself it just means all these hormones are building a strong baby! It felt really good to swim today, so I hope we can get back on track with our walking.
One really exciting part of being pregnant, is that my sister, Shauna is 6 months pregnant, and my sister in law, Kelly is also 6 months pregnant, so we will have 3 babies between August and December, not to mention the many friends who are also expecting! My Mom and Dad are so excited for 3 more grandbabies! Ryan's parents are also super excited.
Life is exciting and Ryan and I truly know how blessed we are. Thanks you all for your love and support!

That's so exciting, Megan!! That's close to my due date last year of 12/25 (and she came on the 17th). It was so much fun to have a tiny baby for Christmas. Now my little Megan is already 4 (almost 5) months old and sitting here watching me type. Having a baby is so special! I hope you start feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteMegan, you are so sweet! I always wonder what I did to deserve such wonderful kids? I don't think I DID anything, it is just the Grace of God. He has blessed me so richly, and continues to bless me, now with another generation of lovable babies. I am so thankful to be here, eagerly anticipating all these births! I love you so much Megan, glad you enjoyed your Mother's Day. You DO have a perfect husband! Mom
