Exhausted!

Wow, so every day I think about the things I want to post on here when I get home...and by the time I get home each night, get finished with making, eating, and cleaning up supper; spend play time with Alexa (& Micah if we're blessed with his presence that night) and put her to bed, I'm ready to fall asleep myself! Therefore, all the blogs I want to write stay stuck somewhere in my head...which due to the typical pregnancy memory loss tends to be a jumbled mess these days, is not a good place for the thoughts to be!

I do not remember having crazy dreams when I was pregnant with Alexa. I really don't. However, with this child I have had more of the craziest, strangest, creepiest dreams ever. Perhaps I need to change what I eat or what I watch...I'm really not sure what causes it but I'd really like to make the dreams stop!

I am supposed to be in the best trimester of my pregnancy, however, I'm exhausted all the time, cranky, and really not feeling great yet. I love the idea of caring a child that is part me and part Micah, I really do. When I'm not pregnant I long to be, to feel a child the Lord created with intricate detail inside of me is an amazing truly beautiful expereince. All that said, I have to say, prengancy and I are NOT a good match. Its so hard for me to imagine that there are honestly women out there who #1 have easy, pleasant pregnancies, and #2 who can go the full 40 weeks without ever knowing they are prengant!

I can tell I'm really exhausted because I started this post with plenty of things I wanted to talk about -- how Alexa is learning to ride her trycicle which she calls her motorcycle, or how she LOVES to play outdoors and is growing up so fast each day, or how she finally has enough hair to put in pretty decent sized pony tails and things, or how Alexa has become such a "big girl" that she's now sleeping downstairs in what used to be her toy room in a double bed that she refers to as her BIG GIRL BED, or how my husband reacted to the major life decision we made official in the last few weeks...but all those things have turned into the ramblings of a pregnant woman! Hopefully I'll find time to post those stories & pictures and more over the weekend but for now I need to shut down before the threatening storms that are rolling in reach our area...Hope you didn't get too confused by all that rambling! :) Goodnight!
