Reforming Motherhood

Jul. 20, 2006 - Thankful

You know you are out of the first trimester of pregnancy when:

You no longer measure how you feel on a scale from slightly yucky to really terrible.
When your husband comes home and asks how your day was you start saying “really good” once again.
You can make your kids laugh again.
You start thinking of projects and chores and ideas to do again.
You desire to get some exercise.
You want to eat everything and a lot of it.
People can tell you are pregnant just by looking at you now.
You are just giddy about the coming baby.
You are ready to get out of bed in the mornings.
And the nesting instinct begins to get real strong.

I am so thankful to be past that first stage. I am also thankful for all the help and encouragement that I received from bloggshpere. I read the blogs of people that I want to learn from. Blogs of people that I think are doing well and hearing from these people (read your name here) that I would make it, that I was being prayed for, and that it is ok for my kids/family to have a season of a little less was very helpful for me. So thank you, I am blessed indeed.

Allow me to show off. Can you see my little sweetheart?

I have been reading your posts but havn't had time to leave a note. Crazy days!
When I saw your sono, I got butterflies. You are so positive and I am glad to know your up and going again. Empathy!
Stacy's got talent. Just seeing her ideas got my creative nerve twitchn'. That's all I got - a nerve. I attempt to nurture it but it can be a chore! I am all about gleaning and copying other peoples 'gifts'. Thanks for sharing this one!

P.S. I loved the picture of your kids with the little one running away with the funny look on his face. It looks like life is a lot of fun at your house.

What a perfect description of each of my pregnancies--and I am so glad once again to be in the second stage--I've been taking advantage of this time in many ways! God's grace must have to cover us, I guess just one more illustration as to why we need Him so desperately!

Amy,
Congratulations on your pregnancy and especially on graduating from the yucky part! Isn’t it wonderful to feel well again! I am currently 16 weeks preggy.

It is such a small world we actually seem to have a lot in common. I also have 3 boys ages 5, 3 and 19 months. I am also one of 3 sisters and I am the eldest :-)
Maybe this time around we will have our girls!!!

I will be praying for you to have a healthy, safe pregnancy!

for all the lovely, kind words.
And Tiany, how neat that our families are so similar! It would be fun to try the girl thing, but I will also feel mighty comfortable doing the blessed boy thing again! Are you going to find out? I think I read on your blog that you are going to soon, right? We are not going to find out, we really enjoy the suprise!
Again and I really can't say it enough all the kinds words mean a lot!
