This Pregnancy…

Just had to record a few things….as this pregnancy has been so different from my others. I don’t know the reasons, because it’s a little girl? because I am getting older? because it is my fourth? But there are a few things I do know.

Tomatoes.

I have LOVED them. Thankfully our neighbors have taken pity on me, and offered (and have) shared them with us, in big red bucketfuls. I know I say it all the time, but we love our neighborhood and neighbors!

Balled up Ice (like the kind from Sonic)

At the end of a long day, when I crawl into bed…that is what I want. A big glass with ice. with more ice. On the rocks 🙂 Toph has kept the freezer well stocked with ice, and is sweet enough to get me lots, and lots of it.

Getting Big, Bigger, Biggest!

Seriously! With this last pregnancy, when I hit my last trimester, I pulled out and on a pair of my favorite stretchy pants that I wore to the hospital with Tucker (So I wore my whole pregnancy!) and they were tight, almost too small! It was a sad day, as I loved those stretchy pants, but on a happier note, with this pregnancy I haven’t been as throwy-upy. Still super sick, but able to keep down my food better than any other pregnancy…so keeping down food, even if that means my belly is bigger, is totally good!

Lifting

With other pregnancies, up until the day my babies were born, I was lifting their big brothers, now with this pregnancy I have found that my muscles are a little more ‘shot’, and if I am lifting, I am SUPER sore by the end of the day. So much so I have to lay down, to lessen the pain/pressure.

Miracle.
It is still just as magical, amazing the fourth time around. The little kicks, hearing the heartbeat, dreaming of what she will look like, and how she will fit into our family…hard to believe that in less than two months she’ll be here!
