A Baby in Our Future!

We have a baby in our future...and it's not mine! It is my daughter Amber (aka Arthur) and her husband Chris (aka SIL) who are expecting the bundle from heaven. She is only 9 weeks along in her pregnancy, but already we love this baby as if it were here.

Amber is experiencing a good bit of nausea, but no vomiting, which is a bit different from my own pregnancies with Amber and Jessica (aka Courage). I was sick from the beginning till the end with both. More so with Amber, but lots of vomiting with both. But she seems to have a pretty good handle on the situation, by sleeping as late as she can, and eating a lot of small meals.

Seeing as Arthur and SIL live 'out in the sticks', the nearest hospital is 1/2 an hour away. But she seems okay with that. She has had one OB appointment so far, and she loved her new doctor! She couldn't say enough good things about the doc and her staff. So that is a comfort.

They have not began working on the nursery yet...they want to hold off till they find out the sex of the baby, which we are guessing will be before Christmas. When they find out, we will ALL know what to buy...pink or blue!

This baby is a lot of 'Firsts'...Arthur and SIL's first baby, our first grand baby, Courage's first niece or nephew, and the first great grand baby for my Mom and Amber's grandparents on her Dad's side.

I know this baby is bound to be gorgeous. It's mama was a big eyed, bald, smiling little gem. It's daddy was a chubby cheeked, eye-twinkling, smiling cherub (according to pictures). So the baby is bound to be just simply gorgeous!
