Week 16 - Adventures in Pregnancy

 Who likes ice in their orange juice? Not me. Who likes to mix their applesauce and Cheerios? Not you. We all like different things. We all have different "tastes" (pun intended). It's what makes the world go round. 

I've been very concerned with gaining too much weight. Now it's like I can't gain enough and people are starting to wonder if I'm even pregnant at all! I know little mini is tucked away, being formed perfectly the way God imagined, and at the pace He intended. Plus, maybe he is a late bloomer like me!! However, I still hope for his sake he snaps out of it and starts to take after his dad- in the height department at least! No matter what G and I think or hope, we know that mini dub is going to have a pure heart of gold like his Creator. 

We are all uniquely and wonderfully made. Perfect, in His image. That's the only thing I can hope for our baby boy. That he embraces his unique qualities, celebrates his Christ-likeness, and is empowered by the differences in the world. 

Week 13 - Adventures in Pregnancy

 

Woo hoo! I think I'm over the hump! Not quite ready to dive back into everything I see and can eat but I'm definitely feeling better. I miss my kitchen, cooking and eating salads!! My husband is waiting for me to start "craving" things like milkshakes and cookies. No such luck, not quite there! I definitely feel much better. Thankfully! 

So hang on there ladies, it does get better. I've seen the light! 

PS - we found out last week if our little mini is a boy or girl! 

Week 9- Adventures in Pregnancy

 

I wish I could say more positive things about being prego. Don't get me wrong, we are beyond excited about our little bundle... But pregnancy symptoms have gotten the best of me! This is when I start to hate Facebook. No one tells the whole truth on there, or maybe I'm just a baby who may have gotten the short end of the stick. 

This morning sickness thing is for the birds. You can read until you're blue in the face about every sign and symptom imaginable, but no one tells you how overwhelming it is to feel nauseous constantly... And for weeks on end. The emotional toll is unreal. Definitely an eye opener. 

Eating seems out of the question. When I'm finally able to convince myself of eating something (like soup) I feel better for a split second, ok maybe ten minutes, then it's back to miserable. I keep "reading" that by the second trimester I will start to feel better. Here's to hoping for better days!!!
