This morning I woke up...

FAT! 
Seriously woke up with a huge belly.
Even had a couple comments about it from people today.
My last pair of jeans now do not fit.  Sweats it will be.


Today was my first day out of the house in a few days.
I've been really sick since Sunday morning but I'm on the mend...I hope.
Don't worry I'm not contagious...just pregnant.
I should be back to normal tomorrow...I hope. I go in sick spurts-it's weird.


If all goes as my other 4 pregnancies, I should only have 3 more weeks of nausea.
I realized today that I am 1/3 of the way done with this pregnancy which I'm thrilled about.
Don't like being pregnant-just like the babies that come because of it.


~Last night 2 noteworthy things happened that I must mention. 
The first was terrible. I cramped badly for an hour & no matter what I did it wouldn't go away.
Finally it did. I realized how much I really do want & am excited about this baby! (I have to remember that feeling when I feel overwhelmed at the thought of having two babies-or am up in the night dealing w/ nausea & a crying, gassy 18 month old at the exact same time. Not fun.)


The second thing was-I felt my baby move in the middle of the night! 
Is that even possible at 13 weeks?
It was a quick little butterfly motion but I felt it.
It woke me up & I couldn't believe it. It was a tender mercy after a long couple of days!


Other exciting news is that baby Ivan will be here soon. 
My sister in law's little boy is scheduled to make his appearance into this world this week. 
We can't wait to meet him & couldn't be more thrilled for their family!


**{I have so many posts to catch up on that I will start tomorrow-maybe. The problem is that I post at night. Lately though I'll get the kids to bed, shower & then lay down to watch t.v. with tim...but I fall right to sleep with exhaustion.}
