Six Months

Month: six

How I Feel: Great! I don't feel pregnant until I sit down at our bench dining room table and my belly gets stabbed. There are times that I wash the dishes and then I realize I've been standing with my belly pointing to the side of the sink. It's not a bad thing to forget your pregnant, because I'll pass the mirror and suddenly think, "Oh yeah! I'm more than half way done!" :) We'll see how long this lasts.

What's New: Finally feeling the daily rumbling of baby feet and hands. Accepted the last few needed pieces of a winter maternity wardrobe. Thank You, Jesus, for providing through Gina, Lani, and several women from MOPS who donated odds and ends. I had told Brad this week that I guess I was going to be frumpy for the next four months, because hand-me-down pregnancy jeans were hard to come by. I don't usually strive to wear stretch pants on a daily basis. It's not a husband's dream. I thought maybe I could wear fancy clothes four months after the baby was born and make it up to him. Thank God for His provision. Now I can be pregnant, cute, and not broke all at the same time.

Names: You might as well not ask for quite a while. I have a feeling it's going to be a long process.

How Are the Kids: Alynna - clueless. Nathan - often talks to "Baby Boy" telling him little facts about the life he's entering or how he's going to teach him one thing or another. Kaeley - already making lists of things she can do with and for the baby when he arrives. She has already volunteered to give the baby warm milk in the middle of the night when we're still sleeping. Why I didn't start off my parenting career with a six year old in toe I'll never know!
