Slowing Down

I have come to the conclusion after spending the last week painting, moving furniture, and throwing out trash, that I just might need to start taking it easy. I know I am pregnant, but because of the fact that we have gone with a midwife, pregnancy really has just felt like normal life, and I sometimes forget that I am in my 9th month about now. I tell you what, Patrick's pregnancy was wonderful, a few inconveniences here and there but nothing big. This pregnancy has been worse, and if it only gets worse after that.....I don't know if we will go on. Jerry and I have talked about it, and as much as we would love to have a house full of children, I think we are going to be done with this one. I love my child, and the unborn one I will meet soon, but Jerry and I have always talked about providing a home for children in need as well. We both would like to adopt some day. Only time will tell if this will be a reality, and for as far as the present, we have our own kiddos to worry about.

It is hard to believe that we are almost done with this adventure, and soon will be beginning another. Having another baby will be loads of fun I am sure, but regardless of my knowing everything will be just fine, I am still nervous of all of the adjustments we are all going to have to make in order to accommodate this new little life. We have all been set in our ways and routines for the last several years, and I wonder how forgiving Patrick will be of his routine being disrupted, lol. Regardless, as I stated, I know everything will work out just fine, and we will adjust. Jerry only gets 4 days off for this year, so I sincerely hope the baby comes on a weekend so we can have that extended a little.

So in any event I have decided to slow down. All of the activities I have attempted to keep doing, are catching up to me it seems, I am slower and most definitely more uncomfortable. Not the heat that bothers me, but the aching pelvis, and swollen feet. I figure at this point I have 4 weeks left, and it seems like the perfect time to slow down anyhow. Keeping all of this in mine of course, I am also so excited about starting my photography and will make another post about it soon, perhaps in the morning.
