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!
It will get better! It's so stupid how people look at every prego women in the world and say the stupid things they do! Anyhow... I'm glad you are doing well & keep up the good work!

ReplyDeleteIt's funny....on one hand I really want to take the the time to just enjoy being preganant. On the other hand I know what it's like to want the time to fly so you can meet this little person you have inside you!! Some days it seems it will never get here!! ;)
