Gen's 2nd Unassisted Pregnancy Journal
Expecting February 2006
Mon Dec 26, 2005
so i'm still waiting...
and did some figuring last night. based on the only two times i could have concieved, as well as first movements and fundal height and things of that nature....i'm past due! :)
i've been there before...and fully expect to go sometime this week. in a way, i'm very excited at the idea of meeting this new little one who has spent so much of my time keeping me awake already...and at the same time, i'm nervous. how will i deal with four children so small? with a 19 month old that is so momma cling-y? with a husband that is a work-aholic...and still be supermom? i think i must be nuts!

a long week!
last weekend, a friend called me in labor....i drove 3 hours to help her labor. long story short, she had to transport...and the baby was stillborn.
man, does it rack a pg womans brains to go through something like this. i'm still processing. I really believe that despite what happened to my friend, the baby growing inside of me is meant to be born at home, with daddy to assist. I'm still comfortable with our decision...though i've had to think long and hard about it! it's a game of "what ifs" some days...but i know in my heart that God has already planned, seen, every breath this child will take, and knows the baby's number of days...knew all about this baby before he or she was even concieved.
it won't be too much longer before i'm here to post a birth story. all of the "slow start labor" indicators are coming through now...and i'm getting excited. i'm nesting, which is always fun. i have to go on the great baby dipe hunt now, and get all that ready for this new little bottom. :) i've got all my birth supplies in place, even have a birth pool now! I'm thrilled at the prospect of meeting this little one, and discovering if our children are right about getting a new brother! :)

tired momma
Well, the closer i get to the end of pregnancy, the more tired i feel! I vaguely remember this, but last time i did this, i only had 2 children, not 3. :)
We took this week off of "school work" and have been shopping, playing, and enjoying life. I think today we'll make a cake...I'm determined to get better at decorating cakes. :) I'll be searching for a new cake recipe today.
Pregnancy is going as well as can be expected....though the contractions are driving me insane! I've come to the conclusion that this is how i labor, long and slow....and at times, it's infuriating!

one of those weeks!
so, sunday we come home from church, and i crawl into bed with a migraine....and stay there until monday night! i should've known it'd be one of those weeks.
remember the story book "Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day"? that's the day i'm having. I've been paying bills, balancing checkbooks, trying to figure out the new computer program for our business, and all with a 1 yo who screams anytime I'm out of eyesight, and a 5 yo who thought today was a good day to whine ALL DAY LONG!
I try to remember how much i love my children, and why i have them around....but on days like today i find it hard to cope...my emotions seem so much more unstable now that i'm nearing the end of pgcy!

I'm Back!
Hurricane Katrina took us all by surprise! It hit us at a category 3, and shocked us all. We're so far north, about 2.5 hours, and we didn't expect more than just a lot of wind and rain.
So we went without power for a little more than a week, and without cable internet, and therefore phone, for about a month. But, little by little, our little city is looking more like itself and less like a war zone.
Our Savior never ceases to amaze me. the powerfulness of a hurricane stood as a reminder of the powerful, unending love of our God.

am i really old enough to have a reunion?
this weekend was my 10 year high school reunion. it amazes me how much i've changed in 10 years....it amazes me even more that some people seemed to not change at all!
i thoroughly enjoyed myself, in spite of my wonderings. :) it was a great time, time to rekindle friendships, meet my classmates children, and enjoy the time spent.
on a less positive note, i've had some bp issues lately, but they seem to be resolving themselves, praise God! i've been concerned, but baby is moving well, and growing strong so it seems....the Lord has truly blessed us yet again!

oh the joys of horomonal pgcy!
I've just found out that a friend is expecting twins...again!
I'm thrilled for her really! But.....i'm feeling a bit low because I still so desperately desire twins....didnt' realize it until now. is it possible to conceive twins three times in a row? even if i did, what are the chances that both of them would live this time? last two times one died....
i suppose that i have fears that are underlying, and didn't realize it until now. after losing our penelope, i just want this one to be healthy.....i'd love to have two healthy ones....but i'm not sure this will be it.

I heard our baby's heartbeat!!!
an exciting time to say the least! I think God just opened up what had to be moved so that i could hear our baby for a brief moment. :)
It's a quick little hearbeat, but that means nothing. :) I couldn't get it long enough to get a count anyway. Just hearing that sweet little heart makes it very real....as though the great big belly wasn't real enough!

rambling thoughts on babies, b/c, and more...
Me in all my glory, spouting off like normal.
on a different board that i'm on, i posted some rambling thoughts about b/c....and how i feel like any form of b/c at all is equated with a lack of trust in God...including NFP. someone posted about how i shouldn't say that....she protested too much, kwim? i think i struck a nerve or something...
anyway...i've been thinking about b/c lately...and how i can't imagine being without any one of my children...even this one that is starting to kick me! I love the feel of those early movements...early signs of life...reminds me of the blessing that my children are to us, and will be...and how i can't imagine life without them!
