I'm 21 Weeks Pregnant

and I am feeling great. I somewhat dread the 3rd trimester. I don't want to get uncomfortable, hot, and tired! But as for now, I'll be content enjoying where I'm at. I finally look pregnant. It's about time! I've gained about 17 lbs., which makes me feel huge, but after talking to a friend, it really isn't that bad. I probably gained a little more than I needed to with the icecream and stuff, but really, I guess considering I only have 18 weeks to go, I'm okay, as long as I don't gain more than an average of 1 lb a week!

I just don't want to do what I did with Pacey and gain so much weight that I am unhealthy. THAT was miserable!

This little girl is kicking (or punching) strong. I wonder how strong she will be towards the end?

I also can't help but wonder how she could possibly be different from one of the four kids I already have. It just seems like after so many kids, some of them have to have the same personalities, right? Yes, my imagination is very limited. I do hope she is different from Hannah though. Hannah is quite outgoing and very determined to do what she wants to do! She can wear me out faster than the other 3 boys put together! Don't get me wrong, I love the girl and can't imagine life without her. It seems like she's always been a part of our family, but you know what they say, 'Where much is given, much is required!' I've been given a very very very intelligent little girl and that requires a LOT of consistency and patience! :) She's worth it, the rewards are worth it. She keeps our family lively!

Anyway, my thoughts for now...and now I must stop thinking! G'Nite! Until next time!
