So, this pregnancy has been a lot easier than Thomas's was, but it is still kicking me in the bum. Luckily, I have my mother-in-law upstairs that is so willing to help out with watching Thomas that we are getting by. But I want to just express how much I appreciate and love Kellen and Thomas!
For example, yesterday I was able to make it upstairs for about 10 minutes to visit Thomas and he was SO happy to see me and kept running up to me and giving me hugs while patting me on the back. (He loves to do that for some reason). And dear Kellen, he hates seeing me so sick but he is always willing to go to the store to grab me the few things that I can stand eating and doesn't freak out that I can't clean anything right now, all while he is pretty stressed finishing up student teaching and trying to get a job.
Yea, I just have to say that I feel lucky. And I am excited to have another little one around. Even though I know there will be more challenges with it (I hate calling the baby it, but oh well, still a couple months til we know), but if there will even be a 10 % personality like Thomas, I will be ok.
I always feel guilty when I hear about pregnant women feeling sooo sick. I mean I felt utterly exhausted, achy, and like I could puke all the time (though I rarely actually did) but I really can't complain about my pregnancies. I'm glad this one seems easier but I'll pray that you feel even better soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes having more than one child does bring its own challenges but in many ways it also makes things easier. I'm so excited for you, Kellen, and Thomas!
