While I'm Waiting

This week I enter my third trimester of this pregnancy. I feel so blessed to have made it this far and never imagined this would be my life even 6 months ago. As I enter into this last leg of pregnancy many emotions come to the surface. I remember the pain and agony of our miscarriage and infertility treatments, the waiting throughout our adoption of Alexa, and the pure joy of holding our daughter for the first time. I forgot I had made this video about our adoption until the other day when sorting through documents on the computer. When we first decided to expand our family less than a year after marriage I had no idea the journey we would be taken on. We are so excited to be adding to our family again in a different way and know Alexa is going to make an awesome big sister. We love you baby girl!

Quick Update!

This will be a quick update! As of Wednesday I am 26 weeks pregnant. The weeks have been going by fast. I am very happy that school is out for the summer and I am hoping this will provide some relief from my exhaustion at the end of the day.  I will also get to spend some more time with Alexa which I am looking forward to! Unfortunately, I am still having to get my progesterone injections. THEY.ARE.AWFUL! My numbers are good every two weeks but not good enough to stop. I realize they are important for the baby but I am in extreme need of a break from them. The best way I can explain the pain is to imagine trying to sleep on a really large, hard, sharp rock. The lumps the medication leaves on my body are awful and impossible to allow me to get comfortable. I have started to see a massage therapist and hoping that helps me some. Prayers for good numbers in two weeks are greatly appreciated. At this point I don't even care if I have to do them the entire pregnancy I would just like to decrease to doing them one time a week!! We are slowly but surely getting things ready around our house for the new baby. I will try to post pictures of the nursery when it is close to finished!
