This week has not been much fun, I have had this awful cold since last Friday that is still going strong. I don't ever get colds really, except when I'm pregnant, so I'm not very good at feeling crappy on a daily basis. Our little guy is growing strong he likes to let me know he is there all the time, he is constantly moving around and kicking pretty hard. I'm not sure if that's a sign he's going to hurt me when he's bigger, I always hear other women say how their baby is kicking them in the ribs or kicking so hard it hurts or makes them jump. Well neither one of the girls did these kinds of thing to me but I have a feeling this little guy is going to be that kind of baby. His movements are already so strong that I can only imagine they will get worse with time. Roland is very happy our little guy has such strong movements because he can feel him moving. Last night for the first time Roland was actually still awake when our little guy started moving a bunch so I told him to see if he could feel him and sure enough he could. Roland wasn't able to feel Charlotte move at all because he was deployed and he didn't feel Amelia until around 28 weeks or so.
I know I've seen our little guy on ultrasounds and I know I'm really pregnant but up until about a week or so ago it hasn't really set in that we're having another baby. I'm still in shock that we are having another one so close to the other 2. This was certainly not what I had planned when we decided to start having kids that is for sure. I would have much rather waited until our kids were at least 18 months old before trying for another baby and believe me we did try to do this each time. However God had another plan for us and even though life will be crazy for a while I know it will all be worth it.
