Hello!
20 weeks down, 20 weeks to go! Man this pregnancy is flying by. It seems like yesterday I shockingly saw those two lines just a few months after having Joseph. After quickly doing the math I realized I would be having another baby before my newborn turned 1. We went from a family of 4 and then less than 2 years later we would be a family of 6!! After the shock wore off I realized this would be my life of four kids, two of which are irish twins. If this baby is born less than 2 weeks before my due date they both could be born in 2017.
I have embraced the crazy my life has already become. The sleepless nights that come with having a newborn have been rolled into the sleepless nights of restless legs and having to pee all the time. The tiredness of not sleeping is also the tiredness that comes with early pregnancy. If I'm nauseous that's ok because I didn't really have time to each much anyways. My wardrobe didn't change much because I was still wearing maternity clothes. Also this is a boy as well and because they will be born in the same season the clothes I had for Joseph will easily be able to be worn by this baby.
20 weeks, that's crazy we are halfway there. That is 140 of the 280ish days a woman is pregnant. However I feel like I've been pregnant for YEARS. which at the end of this pregnant I will have been pregnant for about 19 months of the last 2 years .
I'm not complaining, I know how lucky and blessed I am to have these children. I always knew I wanted to be a mom. I never was set on what I wanted to be when I grow up but I knew I wanted children. And these few months of pregnancy are well worth the memories I will have with these children.
I am excited about the craziness, bring it on I say! I will survive and embrace the imperfect perfection my life with be. I will make mistakes, I will have mom fails and I'm sure there will be tears from all of us. But I will try my best and I will love these children with all I have. Even after 4 kids I won't have all the answers but I don't think any parents ever does. I think we just wake up in the morning do our best throughout the day and hope our children go to bed at night knowing they are loved.
So we have 20 more weeks to go! And before we know it, it will be time to have this little guy! Thank you for reading my mommy stories. Make sure you keep up with the craziness by following this page as well as following me on Instagram @happilymothering
