Life in the Past 10 days

As many of you already know we are expecting baby #2 of the Bourgeois family sometime in the beginning of October. We are thrilled about this wonderful addition to our family and we are so happy to share it with our wonderful family and friends. Seth will be 18-19 months, so my hope is that the two of them will become best friends growing up.

Maintaining a peaceful stomach has been a battle but I believe I'm winning. I'm determined to make this pregnancy better then the last, to have a better attitude about how I "feel." My husband has been such a blessing to me taking care of our son and I during this time; I'm so glad I have such a wonderful man of God to call my husband! Because of all his help I have been able to take 1-2 naps a day and relax for most of the day. 1st Trimester has a track record of taking a lot out of me, so I've been doing my best to maintain solid nutrition and lots of rest. We all know that fully slept and well fed Momma's are better at doing what we do when this is happens.

Some things that have specifically helped me to keep morning sickness in line are Prayer, Shaklee stomach soothing complex (great for the upset tummy), and keeping lots of protein in my system.

On another note we celebrated Seth's 1st birthday last week. He was so good, we had 4 parties in two days, 3 of which were his own and 1 of which was his friend Jennay's. We had a great time with little friends, big ones, and family too. Our friends and family have been such a blessing to us over the 1st year of his life and we are incredibly thankful for each of them! All the words of encouragement, the last minute babysitting, the shoulder to lean on, we thank you!!!

We hope that you have have had a great 10 days, but even more than that, you've had opportunity to grow closer to the Lord. May God bless you and keep you, may he cause his face to shine upon you!!! AMEN!
