This post (and picture) is particularly for my sister, Laur. Here ya go girlie, the honest truth... yah, I'm already this big! (Big sigh...) I'm 24 weeks today and I'd really like to claim "beached whale" status for the next 3+ months and just chill on the couch and ignore all the chores. However, life rolls on, busy as usual with two cute kiddos to keep up with.
Other than big, I feel pretty decent. I don't lift Ben any more, so my back problems (nerve pains) have totally disappeared! Yea! So thankful for that. I have some heartburn in the evenings, but not awful. I still try hard each day to be a good mommy, good wife, good cook, etc, etc.
I'm nervous about how adjusting to three kids will be this fall. I plan to stay home a lot. For anyone out there who already has three or more, I look at you and think, WOW! How in the world is she doing it?? And to the lady at the store last week, I just nod and agree... yah, I have large babies. Kinda feels unfair for a shortie person like me, but alas! I'm positive the due date is correct, Sept 29th. Phew, it's gonna be a hot, long summer here!
Being totally honest, I'm really having to face my fears about the upcoming delivery. I have times when the feelings and emotions of the emergency c-section with Ben come rushing and flooding over me. The feeling of being totally out of control of what happened and still not fully understanding why it happened to me. And a host of other things. So I keep dropping to my knees in prayer, seeking the help to make it through this and not give up. To trust and move forward, hoping for the best. Prayer really is my healing comfort in those times. That and thankfully, my amazing and patient hubby, who is there for me like no other. I'd be toast without him!
I'm super determined to make this delivery different than my other two. Trying to do everything I can, and then let the Lord help me when the grand moment arrives. I never knew becoming a mom would hold so many learning opportunities. Opportunities to rely on the Lord. So, here's to baby #3... mommy is working real hard for you, so do be a good girl, and please do come a little early... ok?
