Finally,,, half done!

Or,,, is it, "only half done!?" We have our twenty week ultrasound this Friday the 4th! I am getting excited but nervous about "not" finding out the sex of the baby!


The baby has been moving more but is still VERY LOW!!!! The little taps and movements are so uncomfortable but yet so comforting to know it is moving, which in my mind means good news! My belly is getting bigger and is it is finally noticeable that I am actually pregnant! I don't get the "is she pregnant?" stare anymore! In fact, just yesterday a lady at the checkout said, "OHHH, looks like we are getting a baby for Christmas huh?" I tried to smile as I said, "well, yeah, actually in April." So,,, I must be getting bigger huh? Ah, maybe that is because I have had a HUGE appetite and I am eating like a horse!!! Ah, the joys,,, getting kicked in the bladder, getting fat, and oh there's somethings I won't mention to spare you! But, all this aside, I know it is totally worth it! Our whole family is getting excited to be a family of five!!!

---------------

We just got back from four nights in Colorado at my friend's house for Thanksgiving. We had a great time. The special baby part was taking the kids (baby in-uteruo and all) to the Butterfly Pavilion where Donnie and I went when Jett was in-uteruo! What a special day for us!!!

End of week 18!!!

OKAY, so my face kind of looks scary but here I am,,, belly and all, the end of week 18. Things are going pretty good. I am feeling the baby move a little, I wouldn't say "kicking" more like a "fluttering, flip, thing" and very light! Although the feelings are very, very low still, which I am ready for it to move up and start feeling normal! Anyway, nothing else new. We have our ultrasound scheduled for Fri, Dec 4th! and NO, I still don't want to know what it is... I am excited for the surprise at the Grand Finale!

Week 16... end of month 4

Alrighty then!!! It's the end of month four... as I think about starting month five next week I'm thinking this is going faster than I thought it would! This worries me some because my dear husband is acting like he should've gotten an elephant pregnant so he had almost 2 years to prepare, rather than this short 9 months! I thought by now he would have started to come around to the idea and maybe start showing some excitement or concern, but neither. I guess the more I want him to show interest or even talk about the baby,,, the less he does. I can imagine his life feels like it is out of control and that must be why everything I say, baby related or not,,, he disagrees with, to try to get his own control over EVERYTHING! HUM,,, I really don't know what do other than do what I've been doing with everything else that worries me... Pray, pray, pray! Now, I ask you, if you feel willing to pray for us- Pray for our marriage to be strengthened through Christ. Pray for him to bond with the baby sometime,,, anytime,,, in God's time!!! Lastly, pray for my patience, as this has been hard on me not feeling too much support through this first part of this pregnancy. THANK YOU ALL, I love you all dearly and appreciate knowing you are here for me.
