Most of you know that our pregnancy last time was hard, and we had a little boy that only lived for two hours.
Because of this, the Duke is extremely worried at spanking me, and we have not done it since we found out we were pregnant. I got him to try a few swats, and he might as well have been spanking the cat with them for all the force he used. That man really does love me, and worries about my safety. :)
So we are on a search to look and try out new disciplines that we don't normally use.
Now, these are what we know to try, but would LOVE to know if you have others that might help us out.
- Corner Time.
- Bedroom Time.
- Lines don't work for some reason for us.
- We're going to try Essays. Though... sometimes I wonder if that is what blogging is, lol. Maybe you guys have tips on how to make Essay's more... punishment like, and educational? But then, those will only work until I'm at the point of bedrest where I'm not even allowed to sit up aside from ten minute meals.
- And having my kindle, tv, or the tablet taken from me is another one we'll try... but on bedrest... wow, that'll be one big whammy. Yikes. :) I think that will be a big motivation for me right there.
Anyway... that's about all we know to do right now. If you have any other ideas, I would really love to hear them. And if you have any ideas on how to foster submission and dominance while on bedrest, that would be wonderful too. I really want us to work on keeping this DD, D/s dynamic throughout the pregnancy. I want to continue to grow and learn in my submission.
Thank you, everyone. And thank you for all the wonderful things you said to our news. :) It really touched both our hearts that so many of you were so incredibly happy for us. You really are such wonderful people. The Duke isn't going to share thoughts on this post because we didn't really feel there was much for him to share. But he'll be back next post. :)

Our Own Little Miracle
I haven't been around blog land this month. I've been so tired, can't seem to keep up with anything, and a lot of nights I am in bed by 9 in the evening.
I have been praying on how to tell you all our news, and after TL shared hers, felt it right to wait a little more than a day, and then share our news with you. :)
We are expecting our own little bundle of joy, four days after TL and Bucko are expecting theirs. :) We are almost seven weeks now. :)
We have already had an ultra sound, and doctor visits. Around the middle of July I'll be having surgery, and then on bedrest.
I need to talk about my faith for a minute, I just need to. God asked us last year to put a nursery together. It was hard, and there were tears at times as I got the stuff for it, and at times anger that God was asking us to put together a room for a child we didn't have, so it was hard to put it together, but I/we did. As we did, I prayed for faith, and God gave it to us, and also gave us, and some friends, several signs and words from Him that a baby REALLY WAS on the way! Then in April He asked us to ask a friend for the crib she was giving away. I argued with God, it was one thing to build a nursery, it was another to tell people about it, but He was adamant, and after a week, I gave in, and told her about the nursery and asked her if she could pray about us having the crib. A week after it was in our home, I was pregnant. Though I didn't know it for three weeks because I was ignoring the signs, and thought I had the flu, but then we realized no one has the flu that long, lol. When we took the test, I bawled, HARD. So much so that the Duke thought the test must have been negative, pulled me to him, and told me it was okay, we'd just try again. He's so sweet to me! He was so happy when I told him that no, we didn't need to try again, it was positive.
What is also funny is that just a week before we found out we were pregnant, we were praying about taking clomid, and asked others to pray with us. They, and we, got a no from God on it. Which is good, because we would have had to take Rescue Prevara (spelling?) first, and that would have aborted any baby. I am so happy He said no, but I was so sad at first, lol.
The room is already now, and so it's a relief that with bedrest so close, I don't have to worry my time away in bed over stuff I have to get ready. We still have a few items that don't go in the nursery to get, but only five items compared to where we'd have to start had God not asked me last fall to get ready.
We are so happy, and really feel this is the baby God has for us to bring home.
Thank you all for your prayers for us, we've prayed over the past few years for a baby since we lost our son. Your love and support have meant so much to us, and we welcome any prayers for our baby and for us that will help support us during this time. :)
Hopefully when on bedrest, I'll have the energy to catch up with you guys again. :) Right now, I can't promise, as I go lay down as soon as I get home each night, so exhausted from chasing after a toddler at work all day.

Hey Guys,
I am so excited about the future child we are expecting. It has been a long road to get to this point, but God got us here. I am proud of EsMay in keeping faith and getting this nursery together, it is so great for us now as she will not be able to do much once she is on bedrest. Thank you to anyone who prayed for us or had encouraged us in this time.
