25 weeks.. a true celebration!
Dear Baby Cauliflower!
Wow, I have made it to 25 weeks. I am so excited. So many emotions run through my mind and I wanted to write about everything I've felt since I found out I was pregnant with this little miracle.
The joy and love that I have for this little baby boy is amazing.. It's the exact same love that I have for Carter which I never thought could be possible. The first 20 weeks of my pregnancy with this little jelly bean was super difficult. I was SO sick.. and a part of me was really scared that I would have another miscarriage. We prayed so hard for this little miracle and I finally have peace in my soul.
Brian and I have always wanted a few children... but in the first half of this pregnancy there were many tears shed as I cried in Brian's arms after puking the whole day, feeling weak and simply crying and saying "Brian I think I can only have 2 kids.. I don't know if I can do this again". My heart was broken. Brian was such an amazing support and if it wasn't for him I would not have "tried" as hard to make it through it.. to think of the end result and to court my blessings. I think you forget about so many things in pregnancy.. including how awful it is to be sick. I also feel like God never gives you challenges he knows you can't handle.. and the challenges he gives you are to either make you stronger or make you truly appreciate the things that you have... I think the first half of this pregnancy was so hard because I was to truly appreciate this little miracle.. to remember the love I have for this baby when he is awake all night, trowing a tantrum or maybe just being a crazy insane little boy.... and to REALLY appreciate how "easy" this second half of my pregnancy has been so far!
After 20 weeks, my pregnancy has been super good. no more sickness and just the occasional heart burn.. which is so much better than being sick! My only one concern lately is that baby has been feeling SOOOO LOW! It takes my breath away and sometimes REALLY freaks me out! When baby gets extremely low, I feel like I can do nothing but sit down and try to take it easy until he moves.
So baby two, you have made our lives amazing already! Carter points at you in my belly and says "baby" all the time and I know that he is going to be the best big brother to you and that he will love you so much. We all love you so much already and are super excited to meet you!
You make me so happy!
I truly feel so lucky to have this second little boy. I am grateful for his sweet spirit that I am learning as he grows in my belly. Its amazing to me the miracle of pregnancy... It truly strengthens my testimony of the Saviour and our Heavenly Father.. ... I truly have been blessed.
I love you my sweet little baby boy so much! Forever, and Ever and EVER!
