I am really enjoying my pregnancy these days. Morning sickness passed a couple months ago and I feel energetic and happy. I've been trying to go on 30 minute walks around our neighborhood several times a week. Its been so hot lately I haven't really felt like going, but its such a refreshing thing to get out of the house and get a new perspective. My goal is to shorten my labor (!!) and get my body conditioned, at least a little bit. I did have an epidural with one of my pregnancies and I don't want to have one this time. Its been 10 years since my last pregnancy, so I hope my body doesn't act like I'm going through labor for the first time with this one! Ack! 12 hours with first baby, 9 with second, and hoping for 9 or less with third!!
It is fun to know that I'm carrying a girl. I think of her sweet little baby head and hands and feet when she moves and kicks. How fun it will be to see what our daughter will look like and act like! Sometimes I can't wait to hold her and nurse her and just look at her while she sleeps in my arms. I'm excited to see how my boys will interact with her too. I think they will adore her. They were able to feel the baby move a couple days ago. The look of joy and surprise on their faces when they felt a little kick was a moment I'll not forget!
A new life,
and many changes on the way,
But praising God
For each new day....
