Almost 32 weeks and counting, thankfully.


(26 weeks)


(28 weeks)


(31 weeks)

Well I feel like I've been pregnant forever. Seriously, I feel like I've felt this pregnancy from its first moments.
At almost 32 weeks, I'm feeling pretty big. It's difficult to bend over, to get in and out of the car, to sleep and other things in daily life. I am still able to carry Flannery (much to her delight and my exhaustion) but I really don't do that very much, at all.
I am healthy, no diabetes, no high blood pressure or high TSH. My thyroid is doing well this time, which is a huge blessing because last time, I was on so much medicine for it and it made me crazy. I am still hungry but not eating nearly as much nor am I gaining as much weight, thank goodness. I am starting to stick straight out, proving the old wives' tale and thankfully, I have a decent amount of energy.
It kind of feels like I'm pregnant with Amos all over again, which makes sense, because this little boy is giving in-utero Amos a run for his money. He is not only as active but also likes to do flips and push and stretch. It gets downright uncomfortable at times and I can only imagine what this little stinker is going to be like.
And so since we're nearing our due date and the weekly countdown is in the single digits, having this baby join us is seeming more real. It's hard to imagine having another little one in our family, just as it did before Flannery was born. Lord willing, it will all go well, he'll be healthy and on time, and we will see what it's like to have another Nathan/Sarah combo running around.
As usual, your prayers are always welcome and appreciated. Even though we've made it past our Amos hurdle (30 1/2 weeks gestation), there is still a ways to go and even though we trust this little life to the Lord, we still pray that all will continue to go well.
