Pregnancy

OK so I am almost 22 weeks pregnant and I am getting very excited about the arrival of our new little one. When we were wanting to have a 3rd child I said that if I got pregnant again I would try my very best to enjoy the pregnancy. I do love that fact that I am pregnant and that I have started feeling the baby move (that is one of my favorite parts of pregnancy) however I am not one of those people who says that when they are pregnant they feel great. This time has been totally different than when I was pregnant with the girls. I only has morning sickness in the morning for about 3 weeks with both of them but this time I was sick all afternoon and into the evening from the very beginning even before I knew I was expecting. When that sickness started getting better I got a horrible cold and when that got better I started having pains in my lower abdomen and the tops of my legs when I would walk. I have tried not to complain but that can be hard sometimes. The pain has gotten a whole lot better and I am starting to feel better but I have been strongly warned by my older sisters that I need to take it easy. At times I have felt as though Satan has been trying to steal my joy about having another baby. With the Lords help I am not going to let that happen. I truly look forward to holding our new little baby boy!

I remember feeling those sharp pains at the tops of my legs and fretting that I'd feel that pain during labor and yet God had so much mercy and I didn't have any leg pains at all! One of the sweetest things to me is how quickly all the travail of labor recedes in our minds once we're holding our precious little ones in our arms. We'll sure be praying for you
