Baby Update

We’ve now entered our six month of pregnancy, and our little girl is rockin‘ and rollin‘. She’s a very active little munchkin. And according to pictures, very cute! But I’m slightly biased:) We are very grateful and excited.

While I’m very thrilled about the impending birth of our next child, I must say pregnancy changes as one gets older. Six years ago when our older daughter was born, it was a novel thing. When I was tired, I just took a nap. When I had a headache, I did the same. Now as a working mom of two, things are different. I don’t have time to relax much. I can barely keep up with how far along I am! However, the anticipation of my older children makes it so much more fun.

Ironically, I’m watching MTVs 16 and Pregnant while I write this. This girl is pregnant and has since split from her “stalkerish” boyfriend. She is so not ready to be a parent. She does not want to breastfeed because she is worried about her boobs sagging more. She doesn’t realize that pregnancy alone will do that to you. She’s also arguing with her mom that having a baby won’t be so hard since they don’t do anything! Wow!

Knowing the stresses that have come along with being pregnant, I can’t imagine doing it as a child. My mind has been taxed so much. My emotions are all over the place. I’m exhausted and oft times overwhelmed. Thank God for my husband and children. They support me and keep me going. I hope this show helps teens examine one major possible consequence of premarital sex. The time for sugar-coating is over.
