It seems like this pregnancy is going well for you. I gained about twenty with each child, I really didn't get very big. Mostly I had to deal with my feet and legs swelling badly. My first full term pregnancy I was 34 and when my son was born I was 35. I was so sick through my first trimester that I couldn't eat. When I got pregnant with my Daughter I had no idea that I was pregnant until I was 4 months along. I went to the doctor because I thought something was wrong with me because things weren't happening as they should. The Doctor said, well you're pregnant about 5 months. I didn't gain weight, I was tired a lot but I had a 5 month old baby at home so I just figured it was because of that. I was really surprised . My Husband said, yeah I was pretty sure you were pregnant. I'm was like what? He said well you shouldn't be surprised, but I was. That pregnancy was a piece of cake, so easy. The hard part came when I had a one year old and a newborn. My Son had this funny habit of hitting things when he'd say what they were. Like Momma and he'd slap my arm. He learned to say baba, that was baby. He came up to her and said baba and smacked her head, so the baba was strapped to me almost all the time so she wouldn't get slapped by her brother. It was a trying year. It's funny how I can look back now and laugh. One time when my Daughter was 3 and my Son was 4 I took them to have their photo taken. We lived about 3 miles from the place. They were dressed up really cute. Well one of them found a ketchup packet in the car and they both wanted to hold it so they started fighting over it and hitting each other. I had to pull over and pry the ketchup packet out of my Son's fist. It was the most exhausting three mile ride ever, lol.
Lol! I had no idea that I was pregnant this time either, until I was 2 months along. I only went to get it checked, because I'm pretty in tune with my body, and I noticed I started getting baby hungry. Baby hunger only happens when I'm pregnant. It was a little disappointing though, because I had a literally TONS of people asking when I was having my next kid, my boy was only 6 months old. I kept telling them to give me 3 or 4 years, before I had the next one. I was having a hard enough time with the two I have already. I kept telling people 3 or 4 years... That didn't happen. God had other plans. This one has been fairly easy as well. I never had morning sickness, I was just tired. I got called lazy A LOT by my brother-in-law, but he was emotionally abusive the entire time I lived with him, it wasn't just when I was pregnant.
Most the time, I even forgot I was pregnant. I can't do that now, since I actually have a bit of a belly FINALLY, and now I can actually feel the baby trying to punch his/her way out of me (not comfortable). I've had trouble sleeping lately as well, but that's normal for the last 3 months.
The only trouble I've had with this pregnancy, was outside circumstances, that made me feel like I shouldn't be having a baby right now.
Thank goodness, God worked a lot of stuff out, and while I still get kind of scared about what's going to happen, I completely trust that God knows what He's doing, and that it will be okay by the time baby gets here.
Oh, and by the way, no, we don't know what gender this one is, but I have a sneaking suspicion it's a girl.
