First of all, we had our ultrasound and this little baby is a BOY!!! I was so surprised! But, I know there is a little girl waiting to come to our family...I just wonder how many more boys we'll have before we get her! :o)
I thought I'd list some pros and cons about being pregnant. Ready?
Con: Feeling this little guy stretch and kick and squirm...at 3am
Pro: The same thing - it's kind of magical. And so funny to watch my belly jump! The kids love to feel him move!
Con: Waking up every time I have to move...
Pro: Sleeping for two. Sleeping in and daily naps are par for the course! And my older 3 are so good to play by themselves and stay out of mischief (knock on wood) when I'm exhausted.
Con: Not being able to bend down so easily. Where did my toes go?
Pro: Getting Stephen to do all the heavy stuff (unless I don't feel like waiting for him and do it anyhow - like hanging curtain rods/curtains today :o). At least I have an excuse for being lazy sometimes!
Con: Sitting at church is extremely uncomfortable.
Pro: Nobody blames me for being fidgety and snacking!
Con: I am starting to waddle when I get up. Sigh. Quack!
Pro: At least I can function normally! I still do pretty much everything I did before getting pregnant. Except exercise...which I really miss...but once school starts I'll have time again! This 1+ hour commute each way kills both Stephen and I.

are you no longer home schooling?
congrats on the little boy!
Congrats on the boy! It makes me laugh to hear you talk. Doesn't seem that long ago and I was saying the same thing :).
If you come up to visit again before baby comes, let us know and we will come down to see you. We sure miss your family.
