I can’t believe how fast it is going! I say that everytime and everytime I am amzed at how quickly the weeks fly by. I am so anxious to hold this new little one that sometimes it just makes my arms ache! And for those of you that may wonder, even after four the anticipation and excitment and joy at just a intense as with my first. I love, love, love the newborn stage and can’t wait to have another baby to hold and snuggle and nurse.
The past few weeks I have been struggling with how I am feeling. I am still VERY tired. That first trimester sickness has passed but the fatigue is lingering and with four children, a home, and a garden to keep me busy I am finding that things like playdates, my blog, and such are really taking a back seat. I am, most days, barely keeping my head above water with all of my priorities. But I have been overcome with an emmense peace from my Savior that has brought me such joy. I am called to do this. I love what I do and I want to do it well. So, for now I am training children, caring for my home and husband, and growing a baby. Everything else is extra and will get done when it gets done or not at all.
I have had my first ultrasound and all looks healthy which is a huge blessing that I have learned not to take for granted. Baby measured just right then and all indications are it continues that way now. At fifteen weeks baby probably looks something like this….
It is amazing how fast they grow to look just like tiny babies. I have read that the baby is now the size of a softball or an apple. I have felt the baby a couple of times now but nothing consistant yet. I know it will come with time and I can’t wait. That is one of my favorite things, feeling that new life grow and wiggle inside of me. At the doctor the heartrate was 148 and strong! I can’t wait until next month to find out what this new littl one will be! I have my motherly “feeling” now but I can’t wait to see it officially soon.
Baby Kate is crying and ready to get up from nap so I better go!
Until next time,
A tired, pregnant momma who
is in love with her life.
