Having a baby
Lee and I are expecting a baby in November. We are very excited and are enjoying making baby plans. Right now, though, I am completely exhausted and very emotional. I just drove home the 20 minutes from work and cried the whole way. Not just small tears, but convulsing, almost-having-to-pull-over kind if tears. And I don't even know why. I remember thinking about how tired i was, then all of a sudden the tears came and I couldn't stop them. Even now, they are rolling down my face. I feel like the only person who has ever cried over something completely inconsequential. which is utter nonsense, and any pregnancy book will tell you that it is completely normal to be emotional. But it doesn't stop me from feeling alone. :(. In general, I can totally have peace that God is taking care of me and that He is in control of what is going on inside of me. But knowing that He is working on me, doesn't make the tears stop. And that just makes me cry harder, because I know that if I truly believe that God is in control, I should be happy. And if I'm not happy, that means that I am not trusting Him. And I do trust Him!!! So why am I not happy today? I blame it on the hormones, which have no logic...

YEAH! I am so excited for you guys! That is great news and yes, being emotional is totally normal and to be expected. Congrats!
We are thrilled for you guys! Hang in there! I hated being that emotional!
Congratulations! Dee sent an email saying Alecia is pregnant...I was hoping she was talking about you!!! :) Hang in there! It's definitely an emotional rollercoaster!
You may or may not remeber me but I worked with Lee in Fort Stockton. Congrats!!! I am expecting too. I am due in October. I have had many a days when it seemed like all I did was cry. I always tried to figure out why and never could. If you want any advice, take this. Just cry, let it out and do not worry about why. I gave up on worrying and just cried. It eventually stops. You will be fine and God is always right there to comfort you, hormones and all. Congrats and good luck.
Hang in there, girl! You know being exhausted and emotional is normal, but that doesn't really help when you're in the middle of it. I sobbed everyday while pregnant and for months after having my babies. You can grow closer to God and your family if you'll reach out to them and let them take care of you. They'll understand. Love you!
Congratulations!
Alecia, this is great news. Your blog will become even more fun to follow once you start posting baby pictures. I hope your tears will dry up soon and your PG will be a breeze. It is such a special time in your life. God bless you and Lee!!!
