A record of the incessant and trivial chatter running through my head.
.jpg) I know there are women who find out they are pregnant and immediately find themselves aglow with enthusiasm, hope, joy, light, and anticipation. These women grab hold of every phase of pregnancy and celebrate it for what it is. They rejoice when they transition into maternity clothes and give over their bodies for a greater […]    .jpg) “Mommy, will you play sidewalk chalk with me?” That’s usually how it starts. Now that the weather is turning, most of our time is spent meandering in our yard, prancing up and down the neighborhood racing big wheels down the hill, jaunts to parks, and creating art all over our driveway. Chanelle is usually the […] .jpg) I’ve been sitting here for awhile trying to decide what I want to say on this special day. The day we mark the beginning of my brother’s 35th year. At first I think I will talk about how funny he is and then I change my mind. Rather, I think I will talk about how […] .jpg) My cousin had a baby today. I vividly remember the warm August day nearly three years ago when she married her husband in one of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies I’ve ever attended. It was a gorgeous Friday evening when two people joined their hands and their lives to form something bigger than they ever […]
.jpg) This morning when I felt myself stirring from the world of dreams, I slowly turned over in bed and allowed just enough light in to see if it was daylight. The room was still dark so I glanced at the clock. . . 6:45. Immediately, I felt my mood begin to slip as I assumed […] |

Oh my goodness, I do all those things too!!! Maybe I am pregnant! Uh oh!
I think life is just preparing you and your family for having a new little baby in the house. All these things are normal.
(I always wondered if you could do sit-ups while pregnant. I assumed it was bad for the baby and was too embarrassed to ask my OB. I've always wanted to though…I bet it helps your back for AFTER the baby.)
I feel for ya! Everything you mentioned is pretty much the norm I think for everyone… whether or not they admit it out loud. 🙂
And thanks for the recipe! That looks so yummy…I'll have to try it.
O Summer, I know. I am not pregnant and still do some of those things. It's ok!!!! I craved taco bell and was on bed rest dear hubby would drive to Dover to get it for me:) The nausea is what got me! and Tired!!! Your body is going thru so many changes emotionally and physically plus your working andhave "3" people to take care of thought I know the oldest of those is a HUGE HELP!!!! You are just like all the rest of us woman. Remember what I told you "It doesn't have to be perfect I am sure if someone walked in my house right now they would say "what in the world or like my 22 year old said "this house is a mess!!! ok clean it up!!!!!!!!! Take care and sleep all you can!!!! LY
I loved EVERY bit of this post. I loved it.
And, quite honestly – it's refreshing to hear from someone who doesn't relish every second of pregnancy. Truth? It AIN'T an easy time. Especially when you're NAUSEOUS and tired.
I love all of this. Love you. (Wish you were coming to Cabo tomorrow with Miss.)
And, I'm trying that recipe. Yum.
I am so with you Sista! Pregnancy is crazy.
In my 3rd pregnancy I rationalized my other 2 neglected children by saying, "Well, at least I had them all close together…they are so young they won't remember any of this anyway."
: )
You're not alone, sista!
