Pregnancy

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.

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.
