Random Prego Thoughts #4

THOUGHT #1- Okay I decided that to get me through the last few weeks here, I'm going to try and be as positive as I can. I feel bad for anyone who has read my blog ........the whole third trimester. It's been a lot of blah blah blah and negative venting. Some of you are probably just sick of reading about pregnancy stuff, period. Well that's life for me right now, so sorry. It's been therapeutic for me though, so thanks for putting up with it. I also can't guarantee you'll be done with it, but I will try and be better at looking at the good stuff. Yes there is a lot of good stuff.

I need to be more grateful for this pregnancy than I have been. I complained and felt so sorry for myself when we struggled getting pregnant. I told myself even if my pregnancy is way hard, I hope to be grateful when it finally happens for us. Well I feel like I kinda let myself down a little. It's been a challenge, and one I feel like I need to learn from. I am happy about being pregnant I promise. :)


THOUGHT #2-FINDING THE HUMOR IN IT ALL






THOUGHT #3- When talking to a pregnant woman they do tend to list off all the stuff that is wrong, and sucks. It's just how the conversation goes. I myself feel like I have a huge list of things I could ramble on about that aren't fun symptoms to have being pregnant. (and nobody needs to know them all-or cares to) Well here are some things that I am grateful I don't get, and haven't had to experience as of yet......Crazy acne, heartburn, back pain, random hair growth, headaches, carpel tunnel, nausea the whole way through, hemorrhoids, leg cramps/restless leg syndrome, and varicose veins. Most of you probably don't care, but it makes me feel better I have some stuff I DON'T have to deal with.

THOUGHT #4- MMMMM my cravings have changed since the beginning. I just want chips and salsa and breakfast foods. Waffles, Pancakes, Eggs, even cereal. You name it. If you tend to eat it for breakfast, it sounds awesome! Ha.

THOUGHT # 5- Lately Adam and I have both been thinking, what if this kid comes out a girl? I think everyone goes through that towards the end. You feel like you kinda have things ready, and you hope you don't get that fun surprise. I was talking to two older ladies at church the other day about this same thing. The first lady kept telling me, you're having a boy look how it's positioned. Out in front, and down low. I told her everyone told me Gabe was a boy, cause she was in that same position. I told her, I'm a short girl I have nowhere else to carry them. That's just where my babies go.I told her it was hard to hear that with Gabe, cause I got it A LOT and started second guessing. So then lady number two, says to me, "Nope, you're having a girl." Nothing else. She just listened to that whole conversation, heard how annoying it is when people tell you the opposite sex, and says it. HA! She was dead serious, and walked away. Man people are so funny. I am grateful I haven't had random people want to touch my tummy with this one though.

THOUGHT #6- One of my favorite things right now is to cuddle Gabe against my big belly. She loves doing it. It's like an "Ollie sandwich". I feel like it's one of the only times I can cuddle both kids. She now tells me Ollie is in her tummy, and wants me to "feel" him move. When I try to explain he's in mine she argues with me. Pretty funny, she's convinced. I told her she needs to go talk with her Daddy and explain how she has one in hers too. ;)
