Exciting stuff in the Deckard houshold

Well as many know by now, we are expecting our first baby. It is joyous, scary, nerving, and pleasing. When we found out that we were pregnant, I believe that it took both of us by surprise. It is not that we were not trying, but we were also not not trying. After about a week I believe that we have warmed up to the idea that we are going to be parents of something precious (if that is possible coming from two crazies as ourselves). Here is the scary thing for me, I know I am not suppose to, but I feel nothing right now and that scares me. I know that when we have our first OB/GYN appointment then it will ease my mind a lot.
It has been interesting to see the reactions as friends and family find out. I brought in cupcakes with little teddy bears on them for my staff to guess the good news. They were all very excited to hear the news and be a part of it. The children of course found out because they did not get a cupcake but their teachers did. I have about 3 children in my 3 year old classes that think there are two babies in my belly. One child thinks that I have a Grace in my belly like her mommy does. The other children try to feel it, of course there is not much there right now.
The Kindergarten students gave a look to die for.
It is crazy to think that there is something inside of my growing and causing all of these changes with my body.
No morning sickness yet, of course I am sleeping more than usual.
Please pray with us that we have a healthy pregnancy and baby in November!

My week....

Sundays thought, I asked myself a few months ago, why is it that I close my eyes and raise my hands in praise during service. Here is what I have decided. First of all I am easily distracted, I think I am ADD, if I am sitting pass the 4th roll I might as well forget about trying to stay focused on service. Second, I find that this is my one time to truely just soak up the love of Jesus in my soul. I have found that closing my eyes and raising my hands has helped me to become one with God. It is interesting how much more I can get of Him if I close my eyes to rejoice. How do you become one with him?
MTWR- can we say CrAzY!!!
Friday- Loving Friday! A lot of great things happened today. First thing is it is Friday! Had a wonderful day with my students. Loving my husband more and more as we step into the next step of life. Excited about staying up until like 11 and sleeping in until like 11:) Life is great!!!
