Tweet This week, I started to feel pregnant. I mean, uncomfortable pregnant.  On Sunday I got so hot I thought I might pass out.  Mind you, it wasn’t super hot, but my body has lost all ability to control its own temperature. Then I must have gotten an awful leg cramp at some point because on Saturday and Sunday I limped around looking pathetic because it hurt so bad.  Yesterday I got up and when I tried to lay back down, the baby had wedged himself into the most uncomfortable position possible. I just sat in bed at 5am debating on whether to just get up or try to poke…

Tweet ..left that is:) Yes, this week, I hit the 30 week mark! Hard to believe there are only 10 (!) weeks or so left in this journey.  I have a feeling it might be ten long weeks if we get a typical Southern IN summer, but thank goodness for air conditioning, fans, and maxi dresses. Here a few thoughts running through my head these days.. well, aside from trying to remember the milk goes in the fridge, not the pantry! Also, that’s the best picture you are going to get this blog post. After way too many tries, we quit.  I love this dress-I got it on a super…

Tweet Did I just write that? THIRD TRIMESTER. I am so not ready for this. The countdown is on until we get to finally meet our little guy who seems to enjoy head butting and kicking me. I am not sure if I am excited or nervous or scared. I think at times I am all of those feelings and sometimes I am still sitting here staring at my belly in disbelief.  My brain is not working quite right these days, I am blaming it on this lovely term “pregnancy brain” which I am not sure actually exists, but I will use it as my excuse.  As such, eloquent thoughts…

Tweet Earlier in 2015, I had every intention of blogging more often. And in all reality, I have countless half-written or completely written blogs saved in my drafts folder. I just never seem to feel confident enough about them to actually getting around to hitting the publish button. Ironically, given the sad number of readers I have, I probably should not worry about this so much.  (I love you all by the way and when you do comment or e-mail it makes my day!)  So as a feeble attempt to make up for lost time, I am going to try to blog a little more often about the remainder of…

Tweet We hit the illustrious half-way mark!  Yes folks, we are 20 weeks pregnant. Forgive my less-than-Pinterest worthy photo,  but there is a small baby bump there! According to my pregnancy apps, we have a mango or a small cantaloupe in there this week.  I think I have a tiny boxer in there considering the extent to which this little thing kicks and hits me. It’s hard to believe its been 20 weeks since we found out. And I will admit, it has taken 20 weeks for me to finally be excited.  I told my friend the other day, this is the first week I am actually really getting excited…

Tweet Drumroll please….   …motherhood!    Yes, you read that right. My newest adventure in this crazy life is transitioning from wife to mom.  For the record, this was totally God’s plan and not mine, so I have had to spend a lot of time praying and trusting His plans are higher than my plans.  After a 12 week battle with constant nausea and exhaustion, I am finally starting to feel like a normal person again. Oh, except for the small fact there is another person inside of me.  I am convinced you never get used to that idea. Also, the not-sleeping-through-the-night, peeing every hour, mood swings, and having weird…
