Today I am officially 17 weeks pregnant and exhausted to boot! The hormones tend to get the better of me lately. Kyle has been climbing up everything and falling off sometimes too! He has found out how to climb up onto our bed and then will sit down with his back to the edge and laugh then fall...I have caught him once and try to keep the door shut but a few times I have forgot to shut the door annnnnnd thud. My heart jumps and I rush to find him laying on his back crying. He is usually easily soothed with his "blankie" or a soft toy...or daddy if he is home. Chasing my toddler and being pregnant is not as easy as one may think... Matt has been such blessing to us. He is an amazing daddy and husband, I love him and appreciate all that he is so much!
I have been trying to teach Kyle about the baby in my tummy. I don't think he quite understands yet. We took him to the last OB appt and he got to hear the baby's heartbeat. Matt was holding him and telling him...that's our baby Kyle, that is the baby's heartbeat. He was so silent and intently listened, it was so cute. I started showing really early, and I look further along than I am...but at least I think I am getting past the looking fat look and starting to actually look pregnant again.
I have just been so TIRED!!! I wish there were more hours to sleep! I have been feeling blue this pregnancy too. I know that is also normal sometimes but makes be worry about after the birth. I wish I lived closer to my sister in law Summer and my sister Evie. They both have kids and are stay at home moms who work part time. They are my bosom buddies (as put in Anne of Green Gables)! I miss my friends. Jolie, Brooke and Reenie...we used to talk all the time and go shopping and visit and now that seems so far away in the past. Anyway, enough whining! God has been there for me unconditionally though. He is my comfort when I feel alone and want a friend to talk to. And my Matthew...he loves me unconditionally and shows me everyday. If only he did not work from 3 pm to 3 am. half of the days. I do appreciate the other half when he is home though! :)
I am so exited for this baby and I know that he or she will bring such joy to our little family! Thank you Lord for all the blessings!
