20 Weeks Today!
By lala_0412 » Posted Oct. 26, 2015 9:27am - 283 views - 5 comments
I am so excited to be 20 weeks today. It is also our anatomy scan ultrasound which makes the day even better. The weather is fairly nice and my kids are just excited about knowing if they are having a sister or another brother. The first thing my daughter said when she woke up was "Today we find out if it's a boy baby or a girl baby." My son on the other hand said, "Today we find out if it's a baby!!" I had to laugh. I'm pretty sure it's a baby in there. I am so proud of the kids I have raised. They have never been upset or said "another baby?!". They are very loving and accepting of not only their 1 year old brother but also this baby. I have never once had any jealousy over another child. I also have to give myself and my honey credit for raising them to be like this. As for my pregnancy, reaching 20 weeks is exciting but also again kinda sad. This will be my last pregnancy so I am trying to enjoy it and it is already half way over. This will be the last time I carry a child, this last time I feel movements, the last time I have a big belly, the last time I get to feel hiccups. Pregnancy is very special. I am very blessed to have been able to carry all four of my children and have healthy, happy babies. The president at my job looked at me the other day and asked me if I was having twins, I simply smiled and said, "No, just one baby." That is not the first time and probably not the last I will hear that though. I once used to take that as an insult but over 4 pregnancies I learned- MEN DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER! I thought I was feeling small! Guess not! lol. I am also excited in a since this is my last pregnancy. Eventually we will be able to do so much more when they grow up. I will also be able to get my tummy tuck and put that 2 piece back on! Woohoo!! Not that I'm in any way ashamed of my body. Hell, I carried babies in that belly but I would like to feel good about myself when I take the kids to the pool, lakes, oceans or wherever we may go. Pregnancy is such an amazing thing and I am blessed to have made it this far. 20 more weeks left and I will be holding my precious baby. It will also be a new year and hopefully winter will be ending. I am not sure how much time I will be off for maternity leave since my job does not pay but we will receive taxes around that time so I think I'm going to take as much time as I want. 6 weeks is not nearly enough time to enjoy your newborn. I am hoping for another painless 20 weeks. 2:50pm cannot come fast enough. Then I will know if I'm team PINK or BLUE!

| Comment from lala_0412 » Posted Oct. 26, 2015 11:59am pbc910-That's a good one! I laughed out loud. I wish I would have said that. Right! For you it would be perfect! I'm surprised people don't ask you especially since your so far along. It probably helps that my kids are so close in age that they get along so well. And we'll see how long it last. |
 | Comment from pbc910 » Posted Oct. 26, 2015 10:51am Can't wait to hear the news! It's great that your kids seems to get along so well and love each other. It's tough dealing with siblings, even the best of them sometimes have their moments. I would have told your boss, "nope, triplets" and walked away. I wish someone would ask, "are you having twins," so I could answer yes because even when people think it, they never expect you to say that! |
