An Announcement from the Buehler Home...





We are excited to announce Baby Buehler #2 is on his or her way! 
Estimated expected arrival date is September 12th. 
So Baby #2 is at week 12 of life in the womb!



An update from the first 12 weeks:

Although we are absolutely thrilled to welcome a new baby into our family, the first months of pregnancy are hard for me. Now there are some remarkable women who love every moment of being pregnant and I admire those women....however, that's just not me!

Like my pregnancy with Charlie, exhaustion and nausea are my main hobbies these days. Unlike my first pregnancy where I found myself throwing up multiple times a day, there has been multiple days in this pregnancy where I have made it the full day without running to the toilet! That I am thankful for.

One week ago, I hit a low point. I was awful sick and quite down. I was sick of being tired and tired of being sick. And quite frankly, I had a terrible attitude. I definitely needed a come to Jesus moment.

I had sent my husband a text saying, "I'm so done." He then arrived home to a crying son and a defeated wife. Knowing I needed time to myself, he took Charlie out while I threw up, cried, slept and processed with the Lord.

I just wanted so badly for God to take away my nausea and to give me energy... However, God reminded me He wants me to see Him in these moments of trial rather than wishing them away. He wants me to lean and depend on Him when I am weak and frail... And to acknowledge Him in all things despite my circumstances.  He sees this as good for me... and He is withholding no good thing from me. (Psalm 84:11)

So all that to say that through this, I have become more grateful for our good, gracious God, my loving, serving husband, my fun, little boy and our new bundle of joy on his or her way!
