Bet you all thought that when I finally wrote again that it would be my Christmas post... but it isn't, that is yet to come... still. I want to include all my pictures and I have as of yet to get them off of my camera. So, as far as you know, Christmas did not happen!
In reality, this is a pregnancy post. I have been very lax in writing about this pregnancy because there has not been very much to post. This pregnancy is a breeze! I am now 25 weeks pregnant and I am feeling pretty good. Which is very different from pregnant Becky last time. Remember my 25 weeks post last time? It was a list of complaints and grievances. Nicole really was a mean fetus.
Baby boy is really treating me well. I am more tired during the day than I would like, but I don't have the constant pain, discomfort, and nausea that I had with Nicole. His little kicks like to keep me up at night and they don't feel good, but they are not nearly as painful as the last time. This is perhaps due to the fact that my body has done this all before and my skin isn't ripping with every kick like it did with Nicole.
I hate to say it, but my Mom was right, my second pregnancy is better than my first. I am sure that this is because I know what to expect this time around and I know what I am getting out of the deal. This baby boy will be worth every pain that I am experiencing now (well, if I love him as much as I love my Nicole).
I am especially grateful that this pregnancy is not as trying as the last as I am currently the breadwinner and I have to go to work everyday and prove my worth to my employers so that I may keep my job while I am gone having the baby. Plus, with all the other obstacles that Matt and I have faced recently, we don't need a crazy pregnant lady hanging around all the time. I am only slightly emotional at times, but not full on crazy like I was last time.
But, as I suppose it is with every pregnancy, I feel a greater gratitude to my mother for enduring this for me. Thanks Mom for being pregnant a fifth time in order to bring me into the world. I just don't know if I would do this 5 times.

There is no way I am doing this 5 times. Two will be a good number for me and we will have one of each so I am done after this. That is a good feeling because being pregnant with a girl is LOTS worse than being pregnant with a boy. I don't know how you decided to do this again. If this girl was my first, she would most likely be an only child.
Having kids does make you more greatful for your own mother. I don't know how she had 7 kids naturally 'cuz after one naturally, I'm not sure about doing it again. But it would be nice to have a girl.
And yes, pregnant Becky this time is GREAT!
You already know why I did it 7 times...because you all were worth it. The end truly does justify the means in this case. Each child is precious and worth everything that you go through to bring them life. I love you all.
