i've written this post a hundred times in my head....but i couldn't get my head off the pillow!
we're having a baby!!
fatigue is my most prominent pregnancy symptom....that and, as you can see, general
growth in the belly area. oh...this is nothing.
16 weeks
i am hoping to post about this pregnancy as it progresses. but this is the real deal people....if your're looking for inspirational exercises and tips on how to keep your legs thin and only gain 15 pounds right in your tummy....well....that's just not going to happen! :) :)
when i'm pregnant....i. am. very. gain 50 pounds. pregnant.
the whole family is SUPER EXCITED!! we're hoping to find out if we're having a little boy or a little girl very soon.
we were going to take progress pictures every sunday because that was the only day i was all dressed up. it only lasted two weeks. here are those pics.
9 weeks.
10 weeks
my first 12 weeks were the most nauseating of all my pregnancies. i felt very sick and actually was sick a few times...i would get SLAMMED with fatigue. at a moments notice right THEN i had to lay down.
i'm feeling really good now....minus the sinus headaches (i'm using my neti pot and its helping!). i still havn't started contracting, which is soooo great for me! i always start contracting (braxton hicks) around 15 weeks.
i make sure to lay down for at least 20 minutes every day and that helps a lot. i don't really 'sleep' because i need to stay where the action is.....but i can drift in and out pretty easily :)
that's about it for now. i'm so happy to finally be sharing this news!

ReplyDelete16 weeks already..wow, this pregnancy is going to go by so fast FOR US. :)
I'm one of those "gain 45 pounds" kind of pregnant girls, too. :))))))
I too saw your maternity pins on pinterest, so I "knew" right away! I follow your blog and your pinterest although I've never taken the time to comment, so I'm pretty much a stalker, :). Congratulations on your pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteI never comment on your blog, but I love coming over here. I am so happy for you and your beautiful family, congratulations! I was one of 9 children and I think big families are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rest of your pregnancy! I also gained 45 and 47 with my two kids. We'll see how much comes the next time around...blech!! I always say to myself, "It'll all come back, it'll all come back." (the smaller-sized, able-to-walk-up-stairs-without-dying me.)
WOW WOW, how exciting, you looks fabulous! Congratulations!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! I've got four at home, I can only imagine 6!!!! You look great!

ReplyDeleteI thought I commented here already but maybe I did not...Congratulations!! This is great news. And you look darling as always.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet comment today. It really touched me as I have read your blog for a long time but had no idea you ever came to mine so your comment made me smile. Thank you for the prayers.
Congratulations - what an exciting post! And I am glad you keep it real.... I can't relate to anyone with thin legs during pregnancy! Rejoicing with you!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS! How do you manage to look so cool, calm & collected while still looking after 5 other children ... & expecting again? Do you know what sex this baby is, or is it to be a surprise? I am only thinking of bedroom space again!! LOL
ReplyDeleteGlad the 'sickness' is finally over ... I KNOW what that is like, 24/7 .. but only once for me!
All the best,
Wendy
Congratulations! Children are amazing blessings from the Lord! Praying you are feeling well!
ReplyDeleteI got inspired by you and your ability to handle big family. Once I had a dream to have 5 children. After my second child we decided-no more.. but when I saw your pregnancy pictures.. "Why do I want to get pregnant again??!! :-)
ReplyDeleteBless you and your lovely family
