Weeks Twenty/Twenty-One

April 21, 2013 by Aliesha

I missed posting for week twenty, so this will be my summary for both weeks.

Weeks 20-21 were really hard for some reason.  I’ve been extremely tired lately (like almost first trimester level), so I’m thinking that Baby Punkin’ is growing a LOT right now!

I’m having lots of back pain, and hence difficulty sleeping.  I’m trying to have a good attitude about it and just appreciate the rest I am able to get.  It’s also not been my “prettiest” week, with breakouts and facial puffiness.  πŸ™‚

All in all, though, I am SO thankful I can carry this baby boy.  I am thrilled to meet him… and I’m excited to be celebrating the halfway point!  He is honestly going to be here before we realize it.

Thanks for your prayers!  I have a routine appointment with my midwife tomorrow.

    Awe you look adorable! Boys do crazy thing with your hormones!! the breakouts I had with owen were insanely bad… Thankfully I did not have that with my other boys… but I did have some weird things happen with my skin…. and the backpain was ridiculous. I hope yours doesnt get worse and you manage some sleep πŸ™‚ – the chiropractor would help you btw… not sure if your insurance covers that.. if not, I bet I can talk to Dr. Ryan in town and get you in to see him. Let me know if you want me too.

    Any who! cant wait to meet baby boy C! πŸ™‚

    You do look great! I hope you’re feeling a little more energetic and a little less pain in your back. With my pregnancy with Moriah, I hit a tough spell in the early-20s weeks which was so unexpected to me. Amazingly, I felt much better even later in the pregnancy, when I had expected to feel worse! I was so grateful for God’s grace that got me through those rough days…and His grace that made it so that all the rest of the days of that pregnancy weren’t as hard as those tough weeks! πŸ™‚
