Baby #4

I drank that nasty glucose drink awhile ago, and I am trying to distract myself from the fact that I feel like I am going to barf. I was thinking how funny I have been during this pregnancy. Having done this for the 4th time in 6 years, I find it quite funny how laid back I am this time compared to the first (and probably second) time.

Yesterday, someone asked me how far along I am. I actually don't know. I am somewhere in the mid-20's....25 or 26 weeks?! With Caleb, I knew to the day how far along I was. Granted, I did not have any kids or a job, so my pregnancy was my main focus.

I also have so much more faith with this baby. Because God has blessed me with 3 incredibly healthy kids, I have so much trust this one will be great, as well. I definitely pray for him a lot, but it is more from a place of faith than fear.

I still hate the glucose test. It wouldn't be so bad if I could eat, but I seriously feel like I am going to barf :(.

I am pleasantly surprised that I am just as excited about this baby's milestones as I have been with the others: I love hearing the heartbeat, feeling his kicks, and praying for him! Those things never get old, and I am so thankful each time I feel him move or hear his heartbeat. Babies are so amazing, and this baby is just as amazing as my others!!

As probably my last pregnancy, I hopefully never have to drink that nasty drink again (if and when I pass!)!!! Can you tell how much I loathe it :).

I cannot wait to meet my little boy. Three more months!!!! I am so tired of being pregnant that I am sort of wishing the time away. I just do not like who I am while pregnant...I am so much nicer when I am not pregnant....that I really want it to be over with. I also want to hold my sweet bundle of love!!! He is going to be absolutely precious and wonderful!! I can't wait!!

Off to the doctor.....

The Book I May or May Not Write

I have the nicest friends in the world.  When I write a short, quippy thing my kid said on Facebook, my very nicest friends will say, "I can't wait for you to write a book." I sort of feel like people are American Idoling me....you know, encouraging me to do something I'm passionate about even though I am not really good at it---never thinking I would actually have the audacity to pursue it---but then they're in too deep with the lie....but even so, those comments make me feel good.  (Which is kind of weird, possibly narcissistic, because it's actually my kids being entertaining, and not my words.  Yet I press on.) I wrote for 31 days straight in October, and I discovered maybe I am not so good at writing more than 2 sentences at a time.  So I decided maybe writing a book wasn't in my future. But then I spent a lot of time thinking during November and realized that, even if no one reads what I write, I think it would be really fun to put into words w...

Another Child One Day

Going back through my posts, I realized I had a few blogs I wrote but never published. One is when I was wavering between adopting or birthing our fourth child. One thing is for sure: our family is not complete. I cannot explain that other than I just know. For awhile there, I was strongly contemplating adopting, but for now, I am leaning more towards birthing the last child. In fact, I am most certain, God willing, that is what our plans are. We are trying to decide when to try to have a baby. And by "try", I mean get pregnant. I have many weaknesses, but fertility is not one of them. In case you can't tell. Our kids are fairly close, so one part of me wants to get pregnant in about 9-10 months....and be done. Forever!! But another part of me wonders if I should take a longer break. See, I have this really weird feeling (that is probably not going to happen) that I will have twins. For one, Brett has always wanted five kids, and I only want four. Things jus...

Christmas Traditions

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Along with pretty much everyone else, this is my most favorite holiday. As my children age, it just keeps getting better and better!! Establishing traditions is one of my goals during the holiday season. I am a sentimental person, and I am hopeful my kids will grow up with fond memories of their childhood Christmases. Most, if not all, of my traditions are not original. I glean ideas from others and make it my own. The Happy Home Fairy is a wonderful resource for making your holiday magical. The Williams Family traditions: - We stay home for Christmas. We travel during the holiday break, but for Christmas Eve and Day, we are home. To be honest, this was hard to do because I know family members on both sides want to see our kids, but I wanted to do what was best for our family. We welcome anyone who wants to come visit on Christmas, so we are great to have others in our home. And there are many reasons we choose to stay home. ...
