Okay, okay, okay

I have been reminded by so many friends to get back to writing, I'm sorry I have been so busy yes! it is important but I haven't made it a priority to write about the new person that is growing daily in my belly.
Where did I leave off??? ok I remember, we have gone to the doctor and talked about everything from blood pressure to weight gain to amniocentesis to quad testing, whew... Being a wiser mom, I'm not going to say older, but wise LOL you read about so many things pertaining to pregnancy and childbirth, It still doesn't prepare you as much as you would think for the things to come.
Every women is different, your body shape, frame, height, weight, body type, structure of your personal (female make-up) and the whole nine. I have learned so much about what I'm capable of in these last 4 months, it surprised me!! Only because of God and the word that we are being taught and living daily is what is sustaining us. My husband is an excellent support system for me, I'm avoiding that middle of the night "Honey, I'm so hungry" but you know what? You can say what you aren't going to do, but you have to do what is best for your baby. Yes I have said I am so hungryin the middle of the night, and as a matter of his attention to me, he has gotten out of the bed to get me fruit, fiber bars, water, peanut butter crackers and pretty much anything healthy. He will ask, are you ok, do you need anything? He is so sweet! not just because I'm pregnant but because he knows what I need, Praise The Lord for him.
In the first 3 months I noticed that my stomach would look a lot more plump than I thought it should, I have been asked constantly, are you having twins? you should check that out, then I started thinking maybe I am going to have twins, people, people, people a word to the wise watch what you say to people in general, but especially to a pregnant woman.
I was talking to a lady in sams club one day, she said how have you been feeling? I said I haven't had any morning sickness and I'm feeling great, her response to me was, just wait it's coming, I stood for a few seconds and I said noooo, I prayed about this a long time ago and I thank God that I didn't suffer from it, she went on to tell me how she had the worst morning sickness late in her pregnancy with both of her children, and I asked her to show me in scripture where it was a requirement (Thanks Elder Gerald Johnson) I don't like gagging, throwing up or any of that ( I don't know a person on this earth that does) and I'm thankful that God allowed me to by-pass that!!! Thank you Jesus!!!!! It's not necessary!!
