Clark Baby Top Ten!!

Since we just posted our news on FB I thought I'd post a quick blog answering the most commonly asked questions:


1.  How far along are you?  
Six and a half weeks as of today!


2.  When are you due?  
March 19th, 2011


3.  Were you trying or was it a surprise?  
We were trying, but it was still kind of a surprise. :)  If you're interested, you can read more of this blog if you want to find our more details about this.


4.  Are you going to move back to Boston now?  
While we don't know what plans God has in our future, our plan right now is to stay in Alabama for at least 2 and a half more years.


5.  Are you going to be able to graduate college before the baby comes?  
YES!  I graduate on December 18th, and the baby will come three months later!!!!  Only God could have planned such perfect timing. :)


6.  Would you rather a boy or a girl?  
WE DON'T CARE ONE BIT! :)  We are so excited to finally be pregnant that we both honestly don't have a preference.  Either is great!


7.  Are you going to find out the gender?  
Most likely we will find out the gender, but we have a really fun plan of how we are going to find out and also tell our friends and family.  More on this later!


8.  What names do you like?  
Sorry guys, but because we are not going to be surprised by gender, we aren't sharing ANY of our name ideas, and we plan to keep the baby's name secret until after his/her birth.  However, we are open to name suggestions!!!!!


9.  How are you feeling?  
I'm doing alright.  Definitely feeling the "weight" of pregnancy on my body (no pun intended!) but the joy of knowing that we have a little baby on the way outweighs the struggle.  (on most days anyway! *wink )  And Judah is having sympathy pains already in the form of heartburn. :)


10.  Are you having any weird cravings yet?  
Um.... not really, although I do tend to get a certain food item in my head and can't stop thinking about it until I get it.  For example- yesterday it was chicken nuggets from McDonalds, last week it was scrambled eggs, and a couple weeks ago it was a chicken salad sandwich.


.....and one more for good measure!


11.  What is Judah thinking/feeling about everything?  
He's super excited!!!!  That's an understatement actually.  I'll have to have him write a post for himself soon.  But he's been praying for "the bean" every day, and he also has become my person chef/nutritionist! (more on this later!)
