knock off another week.

I know that this is a few days late, but we had a busy weekend with a doctor’s appointment and spending the day with friends and things like that. Needless to say, I’m pretty tired and wish I could just curl up in bed for the next few days until things get busy once more. Alas, life goes on, laundry piles up, and there is water to drink!

I didn’t have an “official” bump photo this past week, again because we were so busy, but I did take a couple toward the middle of the week and I really haven’t grown much since, so these will have to do. Actually, at my appointment, I measured the same as I had two weeks before. The doctor said that was pretty normal and she probably had a growth spurt right before the other appointment and that was why things were slowing down. It makes sense, because I’d been having a lot more stretching discomforts around then and seemed to “pop” a little more.

Although, I know a lot of you saw on my Facebook, I am still able to fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans and I’m not only excited about that but really stunned. You ask me how I am able to do this? Well the first three months were spent throwing up almost non-stop. Then I suffered from depression and didn’t want to eat. And once my appetite came back I only wanted to eat celery and yogurt. I feel like after all I’ve been through with this pregnancy, I sort of deserve to feel a little bit good about myself with my pre-pregnancy jeans… especially considering I gained like 40lbs with Benjamin and never came close to fitting in my pre-pregnancy clothes afterward.

Anyway, for those of you playing the name game, here we go again… we have 7 weeks to go {eh, less than, since this is a little late}…

Camilla
Chloe
Cora
Clara
Caitlin
Charity
Clementine

Although I love the name Camilla, that is not the one we’re going with! So keep your guesses coming in!

If you all could, please continue to pray for me with my PTSD. I have never thought that medicine would be my “answer”, and it isn’t, so I have a few down days here and there that have been difficult to deal with. It’s getting better, but I still have them and they get me feeling discouraged. And again to anyone I come into contact with on an off-day, I really am sorry! I’m still figuring this out! Please be patient with me!

Thank you, friends!
