It's hard to believe that my baby is 14 weeks. I have tried to write down all the milestones but it happens so quick that I know I have missed some. I have known they grow so fast, after all I have 3 other children but I never attempted to write down every little thing they did. I wanted to this time because I wanted to remember the feelings I had, you know the joy you get experience with your baby only once.
Some how in between staring at him and kissing him, he found his hands. His feet came first though. He's wanting to sit on his own, you know? His sweet little hands ball up into fists and when he's tired, he rubs his beautiful eyes. How did I miss the moment when he learned that he had full control of his hand movements?
Yesterday was Sunday. We spend our Sunday mornings at church. My oldest two got to experience something they never have before. I find myself looking back at the works of the Holy Spirit and truly thank the Lord for bestowing his blessings upon my children, HIS children. I can not explain to you the joy it brings me to see my kids worshiping and praising the Lord.
Thank you Lord for taking my children into your arms...I give you all the glory and praise. Children are the greatest gifts from God.

There is so much to talk about!!!
First things first! I had my precious baby boy! We had a face to face introduction April 11th! Before I continue with that part let's talk about the week before.
It was bad. Actually let me rephrase that; it was beyond miserable! The swelling took over every part of my body and walking to the restroom was a task. It caused pain in every inch of my living being. I couldn't really be comfortable in my pants because they were tight all over my legs. Even my sleeves to my shirts were tight on the arms. It wasn't good. I had put on a massive amount of water weight (30lbs). That wasn't including the baby weight. I guess I had something call ph something rather. It's potentially a danger to the mom. The word is close to edema; maybe.
The Docs struggle to figure out what they had to do. My blood pressure runs pretty low on a normal day. Around the low end of the 90's. When they were taking my BP it was nearing the 130's. Well for a normal person with normal BP that's fine, but with me that was 40 points. It was difficult for them to truly diagnose me because they couldn't decide if they should.In the very end they did and said, "We have to have you come in in the am ma'am. You'll be having the baby tomorrow. We're inducing.". I wasn't reluctant at all that's for sure. I asked them, "So you're inducing, how long will it take before I start to see the swelling go down"? Their response, " Almost over night". "Then let's do it!" I replied.
I showed up the next day April 11th.... To be continued!

27 days left!
I kid you not I slept with my feet in the air all night. I think I may have to purchase 2 pillows just for this. Only because I'm sure my hubby is going to want his pillows back very soon. On a good note; one foot looks a little more normal now!!!!
I seriously thought I would be going in last night. I've had these things called "quickening". Oh and not to mention just a tad bit of fluid. I decided to go to sleep since it wasn't uncomfortable.I probably could get in trouble from some of the nurses but as the nurses know the L&D would end up sending me home.
It's nice to be able to walk on my feet or should I say foot without feeling the pain! I really hope someone can rub the water out them soon. Anyway, a small but I guess semi important update!

20 weeks 3 days
I have an active little guy taking space in my belly right now. I've been feeling the baby move for 9 days now!!!! It's such an awesome feeling knowing that, that precious baby within you is healthy. I had an ultrasound done on Tuesday. Can you believe it took 1.5 hours of work for the nurse doing it?! Yes the babe was moving that much. Matter of fact she couldn't keep up half the time. One things for sure HE sure is flashy! He wanted us to know that he is defiantly a boy!!!! That's right we are adding another baby boy to the family.
Based on the ultrasound he's right on target. Not that I questioned it; after all Mike was only home for 2 weeks. We will be seeing him around the 19th of April. It looks like we're going to be needing some stuff now. I refuse to put my little boy in pink. Yard sales, clearances here we come!
So anyway, this is short and sweet. I pray that those traveling will be safe. I pray that all your families will be blessed as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ!

I stink, YOU stink, EVERYBODY stinks!
Okay garlic; I have officially broken up with you until my morning sickness subsides! I'm sorry. I was so in love with you but you really have hurt me lately. We just need a break from each other. There are some things I need to work on before we can reconcile. Give me a month or two and we'll see where we're at by then. I'll miss you my flavorsome love.
I haven't written on here because my life exists of this; Wake up in the am sick. Go to the gym sick. Work out, stomach flips, head says good morning to toilet. Yep the toilet stinks, no matter how clean it is. I've learned that shine means absolutely nothing! Watch TV = nausea. Eating adds to heartburn oh and nausea. Did I mention that no matter what room I'm in or who is next to me I can't stand the smell. No matter what I do my stomach is so tied up in knots. Worse part is I don't throw up 95% of the time. If I did I'm sure I'd feel better.
My armpits stink!! No matter how much deodorant I put on, I stink! It's not as bad as your odor though. You're much worse. Please stop telling me you showered or brushed your teeth. That is not good enough. I don't mean to be cruel I just don't like smells right now. Oh and when you fart in the gym can you please not walk by me thinking it's not following you! I know it was you. You and I were the only one's on that side of the gym at 0500! Unless of course you want me to tell you, "Hey I know you farted, (whispering) it's following you; can you go poop now please?!".
"Sierra, mama, do you want to hear the baby?" Excitedly she says, "Yes mama!". I gently place her head on my stomach. She looks up like a deer in the headlights, "DADDY!!!! The baby is crying!!!!" "I heard him!". I can not wait till she's in the room with me/us listening to the baby on the ultrasound. She wants to name the baby; if it's a boy, brother. A girl, sister.
The only update I have is that you all STINK!!! AND I feel blah 23 hours a day. I love being pregnant! I love God, my husband, my children, and my friends. Hope you got a small smile on your face. I know I'll laugh at this one day; just not today.
