Every so often, friends from places we used to live come to visit. This week, we hosted some dear friends of ours – a family of six from the last city we lived in.
I am always blessed by friends who don’t mind that pregnant Amy is a rather slow Amy. I wear out easily and do a lot of sitting around. Yes, I feel lazy, but it helps to have friends who don’t mind my sitting around. Although I did tell Ty I would love to just once sweep the floor without feeling like I need to sit down afterward! Perhaps I’m getting old!
This week…
*I didn’t feel baby move as much. This often happens about this gestation in my pregnancies. Not sure why, but sometimes I wonder if it just the position baby is in during this time.
*I pulled the cloth diapers back out for my 22 month old. I always go back to disposables when newly pregnant and frankly the only reason I ended up pulling out the cloth diapers was because I managed to lose my bag of disposables underneath a pile of clean laundry. *blush* Put away the laundry, found the diapers…decided I might as well keep on cloth diapering since I’m feeling better.
PS- Don’t miss the Sweet Little Blessings cloth diaper giveaway that ends tonight!
*I am having lots of sonogram dreams. And all of them are about us finding out the baby is a girl. My subconscious is apparently working overtime. In my waking moments, I am still convinced this is a boy, but my children are not making it easy on me. They want a baby girl so badly. But, as I said in an earlier post, I refuse to go there.
*I’m still nauseous at night. The last couple of days have been a little better, but I find myself constantly taking little bites of some type of protein all evening long trying to stave off the “night” sickness. But, on the up side, I haven’t thrown up in nearly 3 weeks, so YIPPEE!
And here’s that ticker…

My heart is heavy for you. I do believe GOD gives us what we need. I wanted a girl so bad when I was having children. I have 2 grown boys. Then my oldest son had 3 boys. Just seemed I would never get to buy my favorite color for a little baby girl. Welllll, last December one of grandson’s wife had our first great granddaughter. Oh, my, what a joy she is. I had just retired in May so I am able to keep her when they need me to and just love all over her. I do get more tired than I did with my grandsons. HAHAHA!!! Much older now!!!
I am PRAYING if it be GOD’S will HE will bless you with another girl this September. Nothing is too hard for HIM to do.
Megan says
Yay! Glad you had a nice visit with friends. 🙂

Hello. Thank you for your writings. I want to know that your website is a blessing. I found it a couple of weeks ago. I am a mother of three and I am almost always at home. I don’t have many women I talk to and my mother is with Jesus now(just since the end of January) and I felt kinda like I have a new friend. Bless You

Welcome! 🙂

Good friends are worth their weight in gold.
I remember those days when I simply would stand up and want to sit right back down. When it was even hard getting up to go the bathroom, but it is so worth every discomfort to see that little one. We have 4 boys, and one girl with us, and one boy and one girl in heaven. My boys always wanted a boy, but the daughter wanted a girl, and yes even cried each time the boys were born. Our pastors wife just found out they are having a girl. They already have one boy. It is the first girl in the church in 12 year, since my daughter was born. We have 9 boys but no girl baby’s, born in the church. Everyone is so excited.

Oh, I can imagine! Won’t she be the belle of the ball, so to speak! 🙂

When you have time (ha ha) would you mind sharing what bits of protein you choose to eat for your snacking? Protein is hard for me to “snack on” but easy for meals. I tend to reach for all carbs during the day and that is not good, and it does not make me feel better, but they are easy, less messy, less preparation (think crackers, handful of cereal, etc.) Thank you and glad you have not, ahem, gotten sick lately!
Amy says
Yes, I’m really hoping to put together a post about protein in pregnancy and how it has really changed my pregnancies. But, as you said finding the time has been an issue thus far! 😉

Well that little avocado is loved for sure! I had lots of sonogram dreams too – everything from finding out we were having twins to it being a girl. LOTS of them about it being a girl. It wasn’t it was a boy and yes I cried but you know my little Tucker is the sweetest little baby ever and God gave me exactly what I needed 🙂 Had He given me what I *wanted* we would be more than broke right now as my sister is expecting a girl and it’s all I can do to not buy every frilly dress I pass by!
Amy says
I cried last time too, but promised I would not put myself in that position again. My little Garin is wonderful and I wouldn’t trade him for anything, so I understand exactly what you are saying!
