Pregnancy during the summer time

We planned this pregnancy around January and were pregnant in February (I guess you can call me fertile myrtle) during this time I was excited because with Maddie Bear I was pregnant during the winter, so being pregnant during the summer would be a great experience, well- at least that's what I thought. After being pregnant during the months of May, June, July, and August I have come to the realization that I will NEVER get pregnant around this time again.

For the most part I will say it has been ok but this heat is beyond unbearable. I wake up in the middle of the night just to change my shirt because I've sweated the other one out. I'm always sweating so that means even on my face, so, I can't even where my make-up and with all the changes I'm experiencing I need it....hahaha

With Madison I didn't deal with complications, laziness, or a desire to just lay around all day but this pregnancy is beyond different. So, what they say is true- every pregnancy is different. Having a toddler running & jumping around all day and wanting me every 5 mins just makes things a little worse. I love being at home with Maddie but being pregnant with this baby and staying home with Maddie has really taken a toll on me.  I feel like I haven't given her all the attention that she wants or needs. Yes- we play but not as much as we use to and I just don't have the energy I did when I was 5 months pregnant. The bigger I get the more sluggish I am.

With my husband, I must say I have a GREAT man! We've had plenty of arguments, silent treatments, and all of the above x 2 since I've been pregnant but I'm so grateful that he's been patient with me and has really helped out, more than most men would. He's gotten on my nerves and vice versa but the love that we have for each other always out weighs all of that other stuff. Today he came home during his lunch break and I was having another pregnancy "emotional" breakdown and I asked him to pray for me and he started to pray. Tears begin to run down my face and all I could do was thank God for sending me a man of prayer! I'm so thankful for that prayer because within a few mins I was back on track. He's been so understanding at times and for the past few days has been VERY patient with me. He downloaded a Pregnancy Workout routine and I did it for the first time today and at the end she tells us to relax and breathe in and out and I fell alseep so I'm hoping the next time that won't get the best of me but will give me a burst of energy.

I am praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby and that's my heart's desire. Even though this heat is getting the best of me, seeing her little face is going to be such a Joy!

The Whiner

I can't stress enough how much Madison's whining gives me migraines. It's not that I don't love my daughter with everything in me and I know she's a baby but does she have to whine for no reason?I just want to run outside sometimes butt naked and scream. LOL.... I don't know what that would do but it would probably make me feel better! So- the reason I started writing this is because while I was writing my first blog the "the whiner" was pulling on me and whining, why? I don't know! People may read this and say something is wrong with her, but if you're not a parent you probably won't understand and some of you will. If you are a parent and you think its a bit harsh then oh well. People use to think I would exaggerate about being a Mother and about how Madison acts but I was far from exaggerating. When they would come around they would experience "the whiner" and realize I wasn't joking. I love the fact that my daughter is very outgoing and has such a great personality. She makes everyone smile and happy to be around her, give her a minute and she will light up any room, but she can be a handful. Sometimes I'm like how can someone so cute and small get on your nerves so bad. I must admit, the older she gets the better she gets. So- I know this too shall pass and that its just a stage they go through. I often wonder though, I bet God says the same thing about me, cause I know I get on his nerves all the time but he continues to love me anyway. So- I love her and I know I'll get through it! On a brighter note everyone says that the next one is always the opposite (there won't be a "next" one no time soon) so that's something to look forward too!
