Pregnancy Reflections

Sixth Month

Approximately 22-26 weeks

Buying maternity clothes was:

not too bad. I actually have only bought 2 pairs of capris and 2 pairs of pants for work along with 3 shirts that were on clearance at Kmart. I am using 2 pairs of jeans that my dear friend Kim loaned me along with a few of her shirts. I actually can still wear my regular shirts as well.

The biggest change in my body has been:

My belly is out there now and I am so sore in my groin area.

My favorite change in my body has been:

My pregnant belly of course!

What I never thought would change was:

I never realized how hard it would be for me to start moving once I actually get up from a sitting position or from laying down. It truly takes a few minutes, especially if I have been in that position awhile. I moan and cry out all night long as I toss and turn because I stay sore. My hubby is constantly thinking something is wrong. And getting up out of the floor really hurts!

At this month's prenatal visit I learned that:

my gestional diabetes test came back well and my fetal fibronectin test did as well. Also, Zoey weighs 2lbs now!

My hopes:

that I can carry Zoey until she is healthy enough to come out and that the Lord will work out all the issues with my sick days at work.

My fears:

how I'm going to figure out my sick days and my leave of absense, that my baby will come too early, that something will happen... But my precious Savior has it all under control and will work things out for His glory!
