The Joys of Pregnancy

It is funny how I was pregnant just a few months back (less than a year) and I am quickly reminded of the less exciting aspects of pregnancy. It's crazy how fast you forget all of the bad. I should have written a book about my pregnancy with Libby. I could have entertained you for hours. Now that I am beginning the second trimester, my sickness is starting to pass but I had forgotten about the constipation issues. My word, I thought I was dying this morning. I even called Brandon during the middle of my struggle and yelled in the phone, "You have got to come home now!" Then I hung up. I cant imagine what he was thinking. I am sure I dont surprise him anymore. I don't know why I wanted him home. It's not like he could of helped. While I am sweating and in a state of panic I look over to a 10 month old standing at the bathroom cabinets pulling everything she can find out from underneath them. Then she looks over and just smiles and looks at me like "what are you doing mom?" After it was all over I called Brandon back and made sure he knew I was okay. I was trying to discuss in detail what had happened and for some odd reason he definitely wasn't interested in hearing what I had to say. I think he said something like "yea I got to go there is a phone call on line one".

The tiredness has not gone away unfortunately. I'm constantly exhausted and thinking about all the things that need to be packed, Libby's birthday invitations that need to be ordered, and the items that need to be purchased for the vacation makes me want to take a nap. All I can do is pray on constant basis cause I know I can't do this without God's help. I am not complaining. We are so blessed. These are stresses that are good stresses. I am so thankful!
