Being pregnant, as you women know, offers its rewards and its pains. Really, I mean you can have the best of two worlds in the same moment! For example, I feel this child o'mine move as soon as I wake up! Which means I feel my entire stomach rolling and pushing out at all waking moments. A blessing and a pain!
Being pregnant with this third child has been very different from both of my other pregnancies. I never swelled with Bren or Annie, but with this one I have to wear braces on both hands at night to keep my hands from falling off (not literally)! I waddle! I can't sleep. I can't stay still. I am trying to enjoy it because this is our last baby, but at times the only place I feel OK is crying in the shower.
Now, bitching aside, we come to the more serious side of this pregnancy. Recently my blood pressure has risen, my blood platelets has dropped, and I have tested positive to Betta strep B (need antibiotics during delivery). This means not going full term with this baby. I'm nervous and scared. You know that I have to be in control of everything or else I freak out. Well guys, I'm freaking out! I am trying to come to the realization that this is not in my hands. I am not qualified to make the decisions here. It has been 5 days of me trying to get a handle on this. I'm trying to slow down and sit more, but really what mother can sit down for more than 5 minutes without having to DO something?!
So, I will keep you posted on the delivery date. We should know more soon. Thank you for the prayers that I know are coming my way!!

Becky- I don't know how you do it with two children already. I have to wear braces at night too, I am up every 45min to an hour and I never rest...and I don't also have two kids to chase around. My arms hurt so much at night I sit up and cry as I shake them to get hte feeling back. Pregnancy is hard work.
