Life Lately, Baby Update and Prayer Requests

I apologize in advance if this post is nagging and negative.  I am very thankful for this pregnancy however ,my hormones have been completely wacked up here lately and I have a feeling they will continue to be. =)

Life lately has been busy, stressful and me? very tired!

but...

 

 

HAPPY FRIDAY!! AND LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!

Work has been alittle different. Sometimes I am busy and sometimes I am not. I have felt very distant at work and burnt out. I have been at this same job for 8 wonderful years but I am ready for change. Please pray for me. That I may feel up lifted and focused. I need this job. I love working for this company and everyone in it. Just need to be motivated again. =)

School has started back!! Not much has changed for our schedule at home but Kaleb loves seeing the school bus! I for one hate school buses and the traffic they can bring! School is so important to kids and Teachers have a special gift to bring them every day. I am continuing to pray for an awesome school year!

Speaking of Kaleb, He is getting so smart and so big!! I absolutely love his crazy stories he tells me and watching him play and learn something new! He already can count to ten and knows his colors. We are working on our ABC's and Shapes. He can draw a circle and or sunshine!! and He loves Art! coloring, painting, stickers, etc! He loves his new baby too =) he is so sweet!! He still has a deep love for all things ball and playing outside... I don't know what we'll do when it turns cold!

We are all headed to the lake this weekend to have family time and relaxation time! and of course watch SEC Football!! Go Dawgs!! BIG GAME for us! I am so glad I am getting off work early today and heading to Smith Lake. Words can not express =)

Update on me and baby:  Second Trimester!!! I'll be 15 weeks on Sunday 
I am having normal growing aches and pains. I have teenage acne on my face that I love , NOT! and I am still a walking zombie. But LOVE every minute of it! I am excited to find out what we are having hopefully sometime the end of SEPTEMBER. I am hoping to have another gender reveal party =)

Prayer Requests:
Me: pray for my stress level that it goes down and doesn't hurt me or baby. I need to relax and put everything in the Lords hands.
School year and all the kids and teachers and their safety.
My Aunt. She has been very ill. Was in the hospital critical condition but now at home and doing better.

Chandler Party of Four!!

We are proud to announce that we are growing our little family!! We are expecting our newest member to arrive around
 February 24,2014!!

We found out we were pregnant on Fathers Day! What a great Fathers Day present right??!!

Jake was ecstatic!!

This pregnancy has been so much different. We planned on telling our family and friends at the same time at 8 weeks. This time people assumed/ guessed and we just told them.So everyone just found out on there own time. I have announced it to the world and work today though =)
I have felt different. I feel as though I have no energy for anything.. I am a walking zombie. So far I haven't gotten sick, Last time I was sick in the afternoons or night.
I also have a different anxious feeling about the future. Were before I was nervous and anticipated being a mom for the first time. And what would it feel like to have a newborn baby in the house? Now, I am anticipating the feeling of what would it feel like to have 2 kids in a SMALL house??? How will I manage a 3 year old and a newborn? Will I love this new baby more or equal to Kaleb? How do I give both my undivided attention?  Will I stay home or work full time and have daycare again for the new baby? There are tons of questions in my head and worry about the responsibility of TWO!!! BUT a good, exciting responsibility of two =)
Our Lord will never give us something we cant handle. This is a blessing. We wanted and asked to be parents again on day. We are grateful for this new excitement. We are going to love and endure every moment of this. We are going soak up every silly, crazy, emotional moment!!!

Please pray for me and this new bundle of joy. That we may have a perfect and safe pregnancy and that I will carry it full- term and have a smooth delivery!

Right now I am 12 weeks.

Baby is the size of a LIME

He or She is now fully formed and at over 2 inches long!

We are super excited to become parents again!
Another adventure in the making!!
