So, I thought since I posted that I was pregnant a few months ago, I should actually update you all on my first few months! I am actually showing quite a bit. I am 11 weeks (yesterday) and look like most women look at 5-6 months. BUT I am not having twins. We already counted that one out! Whew...thank God. :) We have had such a busy July that we didnt' get to see the doctor until Tuesday (August 1). It is amazing that even with the third child, having gone through it all before and knowing exactly what to expect, I still found myself crying as I looked at this little on on the big screen as they were giving me my first ultrasound. So precious. I think this one holds a special place because I know that God wanted me to have this child and with it He has given me some promises with this little one. And this will be our last one due to c-section stuff, so it is very special.
Sickness. It has been another tough few months, especially since we had 3 summer camps in a row for a solid 2 1/2 weeks. Boy, that was tough. I have been considerably better than the last two pregnancies though. I dry heave about 3-6 times a day, which is not fun at all, but thankfully I have yet to have any puke come forth! :) Like how I worded that. I made it all King James Version! Anyways, besides heaving and being utterly exhausted, no complaints. I should be out of the morning sickness within a week or two, just in time to go to the Philippines! Summer??? What is that???
The best thing so far about this pregnancy is watching Sophie. She was two when I had Mattie, and I thought she was fun then, but now she is 4 and understands so much more. She has regular conversations with my belly button, introducing the baby to the world around her. It is so cute. Mattie just keeps lifting up my shirt and kissing my belly button. They are going to be great big sisters. We are still planning on waiting until delivery to find out the sex of this baby, but we will see if we can hold out!
I will get a picture of my quickly expanding tummy up soon. My doctor told me, "everything you felt in the last two pregnancies, all the annoyences and discomforts, you will feel them again, just sooner and more for this one." Uuuggghhh, that was encouraging! :)
That's all for now! Love you all.
