Round 2

So now that we have let everyone know, I am free to journal about the little life inside of me. The responses of our family and friends were mostly positive but some had the "again?" kind of response which wasn't particularly helpful. I have not been very secretive about my wish for this baby to be a little girl and I feel like it is for some reason, but even if it is another boy, I am so excited to be carrying life within me. I am a bit anxious about the birth process; more so this time because I know what to expect and that is crazy. This pregnancy has been filled with not feeling very good and being really tired, but with a full time job caring for little people, kicking my feet up is, once again, not an option. Because this baby will be our last, according to our plans, I am trying really hard to slow down and recognize the miracle that is taking place. I feel like when I was pregnant with Caleb I didn't really understand what was taking place until the final two weeks before his birth. I am so overwhelmed and excited to be taking this journey once again and I pray for strength, wisdom, and as much rest as possible. I love my life!
