29 weeks pregnant today. I've been wondering, a lot, lately why pregnancy has to last NINE MONTHS. Almost a WHOLE YEAR. I can't even remember what it's like to feel NORMAL.
I'm feeling like these next 11 weeks may be the LONGEST of my life. 11 weeks feels like an eternity away...
{ I don't remember feeling so miserable in my first two pregnancies- I must be getting old}
We still don't have a name...but we have narrowed down a few that we both agree on {this is BIG} and no...it's not Omar {sorry to disappoint}
I haven't put up the crib, or washed any clothes. BUT I did paint his room, and I LOVE the way it turned out. It's fun having a little BLUE in the house.
I am so ready for him to be here. To hold and snuggle him. To know he is healthy and perfect. BUT I am so terrified for a new baby. IT has been 3 1/2 YEARS since I had a new baby. What if I've lost my touch...what if I can't survive on no sleep... what if...what if... The anxiety has definitely kicked in
I'm ornery and intolerant. I'm impatient with my girls and my husband...and everyone else!
I'm tired.
I'm HOT ...so HOT!
The other day, at church, I had this bright blue dress on and RJ told me I looked really "bright and pretty... in spite of the PURE EVILNESS coming out of me." We had a good laugh at what a big ornery lady I am right now. I'm glad he still loves me in spite of it and that he can make me laugh in these dire times.
This is my most active baby so far {RJ says I just can't remember...but I'd remember if they were like this. He NEVER stops moving}
RJ says " surprise surprise...ANOTHER active child!" {I was kind of banking on this one being mellow}
I am utterly in LOVE with this baby...it's scary to love someone so much. That is one of the hardest things about being a mother. You love these children SO MUCH that it almost hurts.
I am and will be forever grateful to my heavenly father that I have the opportunity to be a mother, to carry my children, to feel them grow and develop inside of me. It truly is a miracle, and one I am willing to be miserable for...for just a shade under A YEAR!
11 weeks...and counting.
Wish me luck :)

Good luck dearest! I can't wait for the feeling of a baby inside me.. (Okay.. let's be honest. it freaks me out entirely.. but I'll go over that right?)
October baby! Fall. It's a perfect time to bring a baby into the world (this is coming from a fall baby!)! It'll be here before you know it!
I know what you mean about the Hotness! I've got to deal with the humidity too! It's quite ridiculous! I told someone the other day that I would never be pregnant through the summer again! I'm so excited to see your little boy, if you have any names you'd like to share I'd love to hear them, we're having a bit of trouble too!
Also, what's with these boys NEVER stopping...I love it though, unless it's 3 in the morning.
Good luck with the rest! Only 8 weeks for me! Wahoo!
Love you Rach! Your summer looks like it has been so fun! Can't wait to meet little boy Mathews...he's going to be darn cute!
My pregnancy was the SAME way!!!! Is it boys???? Or is it the number 3????? Either way, I was miserable, it took forever, and I was scared out of my mind!!!! Three isn't too difficult unless your baby is like mine. Then it's just plain crazy!!! Good luck with the next few months. I can't wait to see pictures.
I know that eleven weeks seems like an eternity, but it'll probably fly by and before you know you'll have that perfect little boy in your arms.! It's so hard being pregnant. I'm glad my kids are so young and am hoping they won't remember how impatient and ornery I am with them. But you're right...It's definitely worth all the discomfort! What do you guys need? Are you having a shower?
oh hurry 11 weeks!! I cant wait for ya!! Being pregnant is awarding and so hard at the same time!! Miss ya and see ya soon!!
Maybe baby boy is just faking activity but when he comes out and has a little room to move he'll be a mellow fellow. I think you'd be less ornery if you'd get off your but at work and clean your own dang instruments! Yup! I'm sure that's your problem! I think you look great for not having that far to go!!
