So, to this point, everything seems to be going along swimmingly. And that is truly a blessing of God as far as I'm concerned.
I have a great deal of peace about where we are by this point. This is not our "first attempt" at having kids together—don't get me wrong, I love my kids (even if I consider myself having been foolish for having brought them into the world while married to a woman I can see now I didn't love), and I love Lisa's daughter equally (and consider her as much mine as Lisa's). Well, to be fair, I can't say we were exactly trying before, so much as we were not not trying—if that makes sense.
I think more important than my piece at this point though, is Lisa's. Though she's had to go through some changes and more than a bit of discomfort (with more to come, you can be sure), I think I can honestly say she's "settling in" to the "mommy-to-be" life pretty well.
She has been trying to take care of herself anyway, so what she is having to do now is just somewhat an "extension" of what she was already doing. Granted, certain of the things she has to do as a result of being pregnant she would not have to do normally, but the point is, she was already "doing what was needed" to take care of herself to a large degree.
I have had several folks ask me whether I want a boy or a girl. Well, to begin with, I already have a boy and two girls. That makes it so I'm less concerned about the baby's sex than I might be if that were not the case. Truthfully though, I never really was worried about what sex my child was going to be with any of my children. Each of them has been a gift and a blessing from God! That being said, I'm not going to worry any more now than I did then about that. Let it be God's "surprise and blessing" what He decides we will be getting.
And just for the the record, the "so long as its healthy" thing? No, it's our baby—healthy or not—and I will again assume that God's plan is best. Don't get me wrong, I would love a healthy baby, but I would love an unhealthy one too (if that makes sense).
Okay! Enough babbling for now.
