Well, I have already started the nesting phase of pregnancy. I have been for the last month at least. I am hoping since I have started early maybe I can have my last month to just rest. I have cleaned all my light fixtures and fans, walls, baseboards, closets, reorganized cupboards, and have an extensive to do list for my husband. I am getting ready to wash all my blinds and window coverings. If I can get motivated enough I want to wash all my windows inside and out. This for me is one thing that takes a lot of motivation. I think I will get to it, though. The bigger I get the less mobile I become. I am sure most all you mothers out there can understand.
I have now broken the 40 inch waist mark. To some that may be small for me that is getting out there. I have gained 15 pounds which is really good for me. I am on a record to gain the least out of all my pregnancy's so far. My other children I gained any where from 50-60 pounds. I have really trying to keep the weight off in fear of not being able to take it off as easily. I realize I am getting a little older and have been warned of how it gets harder to loose the weight. I have never really had to diet so I think I would like to keep it that way.
I am over the half-way mark now and am very excited. I have not been able to thoroughly enjoy this pregnancy but the last couple weeks have been better. The baby is already trying to kick and push its way out making me very sore. My whole family enjoys this part of my pregnancy. Being able to feel and see a life growing inside me. It makes it so real. The baby has been so active I have not had to do the cookie and milk test at all. I am sure the baby is being stimulated by all the voices and commotion in the house.
The last month I have started feeling the braxton hicks contractions. Sometimes surprisingly strong for this early in my pregnancy. I guess that's good though. Hopefully my body will be prepared for this labor.
My husband has been so good to me through this pregnancy. He has been so understanding. I am just now feeling like I am putting my house and myself back together. Between morning sickness, headaches, and other pregnancy woes this has been my hardest pregnancy. I am thankful to be able to have good days now. I am finally putting my make-up on everyday again and fixing my hair not just throwing it up out of my face. It feels good.
I am very thankful for the mercy of God so far this pregnancy. Prayer has been my friend. I am excited to hold my little one in just a few months from now. It is funny how you fall in love with your child before you even get to see them.

You crack me up! When you are done cleaning your house and if you don't feel you are done nesting give me a call. I have a house that needs some help. I think you look very cute, a pregnant woman always glows. I always look like a fat cow. Keep going only 4 months left till we see this new baby. The time is going fast.
Love and Prayers Always

Well Hello, I just found you through Trina and thought I would check you out..I am Sis. Mary and I married Bro. Rusty and we are originally from Okla. Rusty's parents are Bro. John and Sis. Rosalee from the Shields assembly.

Congrats on your pregnancy!! You do look so cute and What a beautiful family..Love your kids names BTW...
Take care!!
Beautiful picture Michelle. And you do look perfectly pregnant with a little basketball and slimmish frame.
I wish I had started blogging while being pregnant with Wyatt. However, it wasn't because Trina didn't try. I was hard headed. It would have been so nice to have a journal of it all.
