8 1/2 months and hair be gone!

How much longer?

I feel bad I haven't written as much on this blog as I did while pregnant with Keija. I have meant to but something about having 2 kids and a busy schedule has thrown it off.

So we are at the every 2 week appointment stage of this pregnancy. The doctor says the baby is big and after 34 weeks if I go into labor they will let it go. I am actually hoping that doesn't happen...*GASP*...I know. I just would like as much of a gap as possible with Keija, plus I'm just not ready yet. I still need to finish they're room, go through clothes, stock up on diapers(both sizes 1 & 4), and really just get used to the idea that I am going to have 2 BABIES at once:) yippee! Plus we really should find a name for the poor kid.

I'll get a Michael to take a belly picture tonight...scratch that, I look awful today...tomorrow.

It's been a while

I haven't updated this blog in a very long time so I figured now is good right?

I am getting HUGE!
I'm thinking 4 pregnancies is 2 years does not agree with my body. So I have looked pretty close to ready to pop for a few weeks now. I am only 26+ weeks:)

I have had a pretty simple time with this pregnancy compared to the others. I'm not sure if it is because it really is just easier, I am too busy to notice, or we have learned what to look for early to prevent problems? I think it could be a mixture of all.

I haven't really had too much problem with swelling this pregnancy...that is until about a week ago. Just my luck, just in time for shorts weather I get Kanckles!

I have also not been able to work out very much (which really does not help the body shape situation) all because of...well...I really don't know what the problem is yet. I get very sharp pains in the bottom of my stomach when I even walk a little too fast. I go into the doctor next week so I'll ask him what it's all about then. I told Michael, this is the first pregnancy I have felt well enough to get to the gym regularly and I can't even walk! Oh well.

I'm too big for me to get a belly picture by myself so I'll try to get one soon and post it.

15 or 16 weeks...I don't know ask Sheryl:)

I had a doc apt. this morning. Everything was good. He did an ultra sound just to check the size...since I haven't gained any weight and we weren't positive on the due date. He said if our little person was turned around he could have seen what we were having. I'm not so sure Michael would have been to excited about not being there for that. We are not very patient people so I'm thinking we'll do the mall ultra sound thingy again this time. Which means we can find out in a week or two...yay!

movin' & shakin'

I am 15 weeks preggo today-ish and I am felling pretty good.

I don't have too much sickness anymore-besides the occational migraine-so life is pretty good.

My little monkey is moving a lot lately. It is fun to feel our little one...a little strange considering I feel like we didn't have a break between Keija and this one.

I do feel like I have been pregnant for 2 years straight. I guess I nearly have been..almost 17 months out of the last 24:)

Well I have a tonb to do so I'll write more later.

Finally a belly picture:)

Okay so I am not quite 15 weeks.

It's also morning so my belly is not too bad yet...

I swear it grows through the day.

Update...

I am feeling a little better these days. Which is good and bad.

Good that I feel better so I get more done, and bad because not too many foods disgust me anymore:(

I just found out from Michael's cousin that I am 14 weeks.

We are due 1 day apart so she will now be my calender keeper:)

Thanks Sheryl.

I am sleeping better...on to the crazy dreams...and handling thing ok.

I'm not so sure Michael would share that sentiment:)

The one thing I have enjoyed sooo much with this pregnancy

is I was to read everything I can get my hands on.

immature the literature I soak it in. In the past 2 weeks I have read:

Coming Home (my grandfather wrote it)

Twilight Series again

Princess Academy

Fabelhaven

The Host again

Cold Sassy Tree

The Scriptures--Everyday!-yay me

Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters

I'm half way through Great Expectations.

I am so grateful to have the time to read at night...thanks to some great kiddo's and a wonderful husband!

I felt our little monster move a few weeks ago.

I swear I feel it earlier with each pregnancy.

I know it's gross but I always have to wait a few minutes to make sure it's not just gas:)

I still think this one is a boy.

I seem to be caring more straight forward, and this pregnancy has been so different from all my others...

could just be that stress level is MUCH less.

Well off to deal with real life.
