Reminiscing

Tomorrow I will be 6 months pregnant.

When I really think about it, I am amazed at how fast this pregnancy has gone by. 6 months down- 3 more to go!

These next 3 months will go by fast too.. I hope.. and pray..

When thinking back on everything that has happened during this pregnancy, I am amazed I'm not in a loony bin already. With having a previous miscarriage I was scared to death that the worst case scenario would happen- again.

The morning sickness has been intense! I really don't know how I was able to throw up multiple times, wash my mouth out, pop in a piece of gum, and go on my merry way every single day without having [more] emotional breakdowns. The Lord must really have His hand on me! Every once in awhile [like yesterday and today] it will flair up and remind me of how much I missed it.

The cramps I feel from the consistent growing still weird me out to this day. In the back of my mind I can't help but feel like something wrong is going to happen- but it makes me go daily to the Father and put my trust in Him that all will work out.

There are certain women that I see almost everyday that rake on my nerves because they think they're so witty when it comes to pregnancy comments. I can't wait for that to be over.. Haha!

So far I have gained 12 lbs. Paul has to remind me that gaining weight IS a good thing! Of course I know that, but I can't help but feel a twinge of insecurity whenever I hear "Oh my word! You are so huge! You blew up overnight!" Thanks for that! I appreciate it. It really is a good thing- my weight gain means healthy baby! That makes me very happy- obviously.

And, to answer your question, I have been pretty emotional. Whether I'm irritated with Paul or I'm just bawling my eyes out- I have had been on an emotional roller coaster. I've been praying that God will help me get this under control- especially since Paul is "sick of it." ;)

You know how I love feedback. :) Give it to me!
