Presents for Benjamyn!

Hey Friends and Fam,
It's been a while since I posted anything. There is nothing really exciting going on and I'm working on getting over the viral infection I had weeks ago. My voice still gets tired at the end of the day (Nathan is loving it) and my throat still hurts a little. The nurse at my Dr.'s office told me that my immune system is pretty weak and it would take a while to completely recover. I'm back at work though and life is back to the same old schedule. Nathan and I registered yesterday at Babies R Us! It was so fun but a little overwhelming. Nathan got a little carried away in the bib section...praise the Lord that we can edit our registry online! We registered for matching everything (almost). The travel system which includes the stroller and carseat, the diaper bag, swing and playpen are all the same pattern. Blue, tan and green polka dots (I think). There is so much stuff for babies now and I had no idea what some of the things were for. I have my first small shower scheduled for the end of May. My sweet friends from college are giving me a little get together/shower in Austin. I am super excited.
I am in my 27th week now...that's the beginning of my 3rd trimester. God has been so good throughout this pregnancy. Although I'm getting pretty uncomfortable and I feel like an elephant (or a hippo on some days) I praise Him that this little guy is healthy and developing properly. There are so many things I have to be thankful for.
My wonderful husband surprised me on Easter with the confirmation email to a 3d/4d sonogram. I go on April 16th and can hardly wait to see his precious little face. My Mom...aka Grammy is so excited about her first grandbaby. Nathan's parents are moving down to San Antonio tomorrow so we'll have both sets of grandparents here for Benjamyn. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful family on both sides. Life is good!!!
Well, I've kind of rambled on and on. Things are starting to seem more real and although I'm excited beyond belief, I am a little scared. What kind of Mommy will I be? Will we have enough money? I know that God has a plan for my family and I pray that He will continue to give us peace and strength. Starting a family is a little scary. Thank you for your prayers and love. 3 more months to go!!!! I love you guys very much!
