Isn't it so funny how you can go from feeling fat and ugly at 15-16 weeks (when you first start to show), to feeling like you're actually pretty small and pregnancy is awesome at 20 weeks? I guess it's because I don't just look like I've been over-eating. It looks more like there's a baby growing in there!
I've just been thinking a lot lately. We didn't really plan this pregnancy, and when we first found out we were expecting, we had NO clue how we were going to afford it. We knew God had to take care of us somehow, but the way the economy is, it looked like we were going to have it pretty rough. Well, just recently, my husband applied for a job that would be full-time and eventually get benefits, and he got the job! He'll be starting there in just a week or so. The benefits should kick in before the baby gets here, so just in case there is an emergency situation with the home birth, we'll have a backup plan. :-) God has just been SO good to take care of us!
The baby has been kicking a lot more often lately! I'm sure he (or she) has been kicking pretty often before, but I always blamed it on my stomach or just a muscle twitching. Now the baby is getting bigger, so it's a little more obvious when I'm feeling the baby move. And here I thought I just had a really calm baby..... lol. (In fact, I'm feeling the baby moving around a little right now!)
Haha yeah and when you get to the third trimester, particularly the last month, you start to feel fat and ugly again. LOL. Well, I do anyway. You look cute as a pregnant mama.
ReplyDeleteAgain, wait till the third trimester, baby will feel like anything BUT a calm baby then haha.
