This pregnancy has been rough. Mentally and physically. From the beginning I have been really overwhelmed by the idea of having another child, even though it was planned and I am excited. The idea of having 4 children to take care of, when I feel like I’m drowning much of the time taking care of 3 is overwhelming.
This is the first time during a pregnancy that things haven’t been all rainbows and unicorns. I haven’t loved being pregnant this time. It’s been exhausting and depressing sometimes. I think a lot of it is that I went from being sick from morning sickness to having a bad cold/cough that has lasted over a month now. I’m feeling huge already and that makes keeping up with the girls even more difficult.
Haha, this post is so sad and depressing! But, it is honestly how I have felt so far. I am just so done this time around and I’m not even half way.
Here are the belly pictures I have so far. A far cry from the amount I usually have taken at this point.
12 Weeks
14 Weeks
16 Weeks
18 Weeks – Today
I’m hoping that finding out the gender (if we decide to) will help me feel more connected and excited about this baby. Hopefully it will be the push I need to get through the second half of this pregnancy.
