The reason I am a super slacker these days...
We are expecting our fourth little one on November 9th and are are very excited! Today I am officially 12 weeks and am trying to not be a slacker today. I have had a rough 7 weeks (which doesn't sound too long- but feels quite long) and am hoping the sick stage ends very, very soon! (Like Today!)
I feel very blessed to have been able to get pregnant easily with our children. It is something that I do not take for granted. Especially seeing so many close friends and family struggle with starting their family. Because of that, I do feel silly and pathetic complaining about my challenges being pregnant, but each of my pregnancies have been a challenge. But, what is nine months of sickness and pain when you get these little ones for eternity? I remind myself of that multiple times a day. This experience has had me praying many times to be patient and to try to have a good attitude despite feeling crummy... the quote "God, grant me patience to deal with my blessings" comes to mind. So, all that being said...
some joys of pregnancy that were a tad numb in my mind and have been brought to my remembrance...
The heartburn
The extra saliva and need to constantly spit (gross)
The instant attachment you feel to the little one growing inside you
The exhaustion
The lack of motivation
Getting any little chore done is a major accomplishment
The nausea
The need for constant nourishment- yet not food sounds good
And there you have it- my complaints, even though I feel blessed.:) Please excuse the self pity! Can't wait to meet this little one who will be the FINAL member of our little family!
