22-1-2009 - Lovin It!

My mood while writing this blog: Good!

Hi Ladies! I'm so excited about our babes comming so soon I had to write blog!

Feeling Awesome except of course some prego symptoms..

- I have been having back pain esp when I go to bed - hubby has been learning how to rub my back...

- Very swollen ankles ( when I take my socks off the crease lines in what looks like chub are funny looking and tender- I know I must be retaining water! Same thing happend with my 2nd baby and the water wieght came off quick:-) So hopefully it will be the same with this one - 50 lbs so far!! ( may sound scary but I honestly don't feel that huge - Praise God that I feel comfy often)

- Cramping - more on some days then others! ( contractions where my uterus balls up during the pain)

-Over Sensitive and Hormonal- poor hubby has me acting so sweet one minute and like the bad witch of the west the next, then crying cause I feel bad! ( over the dumbest things like where we keep our grocery list, or how the pantry is arranged)

- So Tired!!! Need naps a few times a week!

Ok so now is the weird part! Don't hate me but I am still enjoying being pregnant - I love the attention and the good times are still outweighing the hard.

It seems the majority are feeling so ready to be done...? I really feel that 3 and 1/2 weeks till induction time is approaching too quickly!

Will I get all my lists done? Am I ready for labor this time? Will it be at all like my other 2? Will I go naturally before the date to have my water broken? Where will I be and how fast and hard? Will I have back labor this time? If I'm at the hospital in time will I have drugs, and which one - nubain like my 1st? How will my family adjust to a new baby here? Will I recover quickly? How will it be having a boy this time?

So many questions that the future holds that God only knows right now...

It seems like it has been a dream come true that we will have another baby - yet I can't imagine our family different! ( It has been over 7 yrs since my last one arrived) Ok - and jumping ahead to when he is in school. What kind of work will I do then? - Will I feel the same way I did when my other one left? ;-( Are my dreams of getting my childrens books with illustrations published ever going to happen? Will the desire fade. What activities will I do with this baby vs my other 2 now that I live somewhere else? Have I gained wisdom in raising my other 2 that will help me with this one? What kind of man will he grow up to be? What will life be like in our future?? Will our family love and have faith in God more and more each day!?

What is going to happen in America in the comming months - years? Will our home refinance go through, and when?? Will our finances fall into place easily with baby or will it take me bringing in extra income? Is my dad going to get a job soon??? Will my grandpa make it through surgery today and bone cancer in the comming months and years? How will my sisters labor go? ( It seems her pregnancy has been horrible.) What friends should I call when we have our baby and which should I just wait to send an announcement to? Will my hubby continue to be so sweet and loving as he has been lately or will we hit similar bumps we did with baby #2? - Will our baby be healthy? Will our baby cry a lot or little - sleep well? How will I change a boy's diaper without a big pee pee mess each time..? hehe

I guess life is full of questions!!!

Guessing you all may have many questions that are going through your head at this time with our soon life changing experience of having a baby!?

I think I would be a nervous wreck but am putting my hope and trust in God! He promises to take care of us and He always keeps His promises. :-) Hope you are experiencing His peace! If you aren't and are not sure how, and want to, write me a note. I would be happy to share some of the Bible with you about His love and forgiveness.

Have a wonderful day!!!
