Well, I am officially half way through my pregnancy!! I
still can’t comprehend that in just four months I will be holding a precious
baby in my arms…MY precious baby! It just seems so unreal. I’ve started to feel
Emery move more each day and I love it! I just wish his kicks would make me
realize that this is real and happening! Haha! So I’ve been pretty busy lately,
my almost sister in law, Nicole, came in to visit us because I threw her a bridal
shower. My brother decided to tag along with her and surprise us. When I first
saw him I busted out in tears, it was completely embarrassing. Anyways, the
time we had with them was short but extremely fun! I miss my siblings so much
so it was great to get to see Heath for a while. The bridal shower was fun! I
hope Nicole thinks it was too, hah!
I also wanted to say that I love my entire family and I hope
my previous blog did not give the wrong impression to anyone.
So a funny story to share with everyone, well kind of funny
anyways. Last night Emery was moving like crazy and I had my hand on my stomach
to try to see if I could feel him. Well, I couldn’t tell if I could feel him or
not because I was feeling him move on the inside. So I tell Shaun to come over
to try to feel him (he’s been dying to feel him move) and I swear as soon as I
took my hand off and Shaun put his hand on Emery quit moving. We waited awhile
and nothing, so Shaun got up and a minute later Emery started moving again, so
I told Shaun to come back over. Again, as soon as we switched hands he stopped
moving. I felt so bad for Shaun but I couldn’t help but laugh. Poor Shaun just
wants to feel his baby move, but we can’t help that our little man is already
stubborn! He proved that at our doctor’s appointment yesterday, he didn’t want
to cooperate with our midwife and help her confirm that he’s a boy. I’m
thinking he is going to act like his father. ;)
I’ve really wanted to bake again lately but I feel so worn
out that I get frustrated and give up. I think I’m going to follow through
though and make some cupcakes today and update my baking blog! Well, maybe not
today but hopefully this week! I’ve also been talking to Shaun about getting a
membership to the Cottonwood Rec. Center so I can swim and use the treadmill
and Shaun wants to work out too. I’m thinking we will probably get one this
week as well.
I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day! Shaun and I
were both feeling really bad yesterday so we are thinking of going out tonight
instead! He did buy a beautiful bouquet of flowers and some chocolate covered
strawberries! Yum! Thank you so much Shaun, you’re the best!
I want to end my blog just saying that I feel amazingly
blessed with God’s grace. He’s given Shaun and I such a magical miracle and the
more I think of it, the more my eyes tear up. Recently I went with my cousin to
her doctor’s appointment and her doctor was talking to her about how 1 in 4
women have miscarriages and if you think about it how everything has to be
perfect to have a baby. I just feel so lucky and blessed and honestly, undeserving. But I’m thankful, VERY thankful and I wouldn’t trade this baby
for anything in the world! I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week!
Thanks for reading my blog!
