Pregnancy...

006



Wow I'm waiting for somebody to nominate me for Worlds Worst Blogger...it's been over 2 weeks since my last post! I've had the best intentions but for some reason never followed through...



Anyway...I thought I would do a post about my pregnancy...I am now 25 weeks...Yay! This pregnancy has definitely been more a little harder than the rest. Now when I say that I am not at ALL complaining...nor am I trying to compare to others who truly have difficult pregnancies...I am only comparing to my other 2 pregnancies...I have been MUCH more tired and drained of energy with this one. I know it has to do with the fact that I am older and the fact that I have three little ones at home 4 and under and work full time-but I tell you I just can't shake it! I also have gained more weight (more quickly) with this pregnancy-not so happy about that-but what are you going to do?? I do worry a little though b/c it's slowly approaching ice cream season here in NY and a little shop in our village has the best peanut butter cup sundaes-I don't think they are the thing to eat if you are trying to not pudge up!



I love to hear the girls talk about their baby brother...it's so cute! Ella will often look at my belly and say, "Wow mommy you're belly is getting fatter!" I know it's out of love so I can smile! They are so excited and will often ask if it's time for the baby to come out of my belly yet...poor Abbie has no idea how her little life is going to change in 3 1/2 months-but I know she will be fine-she's such a go with the flow little girl!

We continue to struggle with the name! I tell you boy names are MUCH harder than girl names! Hopefully we will decide soon since there are a couple monogrammed items I would like to order off of Etsy.

I must say that I continue to thank God everyday for this baby! There are times I find myself doubting if I will be able to take care of 4 children (age 4 and under) while working full time but then I remember that God will not give me anything I cannot handle! I continue to pray that He will work a financial miracle in our lives so that I would be able to spend more time at home with my babies-but I know if it doesn't happen that I must still praise God for ALL things!

You look GREAT!!! I can only imagine how tired you are feeling. I am exhausted working full time and taking care of the kids...and I am not pregnant! I can only imagine!

I agree about the boy and girl names.....sooo much easier to pick out girl names!

have a great week-end!!

You look FABULOUS! I can only imagine how tired you must be! I gave birth at 32 and 35 and I was soooo tired! Now I know why they recommend giving birth in your 20's! I had alot more energy then!

Can't wait to hear your name. I love all of your girl names. I always thought girl names were harder! In fact, I didn't even have a girl name the second time because I really thought we were having a boy (even though we never found out). Kamree's ultrasound pictures looked soooo masculine and identical to Carson's 4D pictures!

Hope you have a fun and relaxing weekend!

First, I am so glad you posted because I was wondering about your pregnancy and praying all was well. Secondly, you are ADORABLE and not the least bit pudgy. You are way cuter pregnant than I ever was!!!!!

I think it was easier to pick out boy names. I already have two spare boy names should we ever need it but NO girl names.

Get plenty of rest and eat a peanut butter cup sundae for me:)

You look awesome! I was wondering if you would post belly pictures-yea! I understand being more tired, but think with the first you could take a nap and now you're chasing after 3 other cuties! Hum...boy names...we of course love Hudson, but Jackson was our other favorite. I can't wait to hear what y'all decide. I love your girls' names.
