So! Superb praise report: My wife is pregnant and, with regard to the baby's stability and all, doing quite well. We're excited. That said, there's the immediately related need for prayer for her well being. She's more or less healthy, but puking a lot and having a hard time expressing/finding happiness about being pregnant while she's so miserable.
And she's still working part time, but it's been challenging at times.
The financial burden at this point falls primarily on me, which is just fine, except I feel like we're treading water and barely scraping by, especially with new expenses. Still, the hardest part is that I constantly feel like I have to choose between being my wife's husband and being my family's provider. My job gives me flexibility of hours, so I can work lots and make more, but then my wife feels lonely and like she never gets to see me. But if I don't work much, then we get extremely limited and barely pay the basic bills.
Figuring out how to navigate this is exceptionally hard. So prayers for that would be great.
Above and beyond all the stress is excitement for the start of our transition from couple to family, so praise be for that.
