I’m happy to be at the beginning of my sixth month of pregnancy! I am very thankful for how well things have gone in this pregnancy.  I’m feeling well and still eating a LOT (healthy foods of course). 

We haven’t started working on the girls’ room (they’ll be sharing a big room together), but we have lots of fun ideas for it and hope to paint it before Christmas. 

We haven’t decided on a name yet, either! I know when we find the right one we’ll both know.

My back still hurts some from the extra weight I’m carrying in the front, and I have to be careful when I pick up Vera that I’m not straining my back even more.

I continue to feel Mango move quite often, and that never stops being exciting!

Week twenty-four with Vera.

I’ve been feeling pretty well this week, though a little more tired than usual.  I’m still figuring out how to get comfortable at night (using lots of pillows!) so I can sleep well, but I’m sure I’ll get adjusted soon.  My back still hurts occasionally, but it’s doing better.  Mango has been active (particularly after meals and later in the evening), so that’s been fun. 

We’re thankful for such a healthy pregnancy so far!

Week twenty-three with Vera.

The last week went by so fast!  Mango is moving more lately and that is always exciting.  I’ve had a LOT of lower back pain this week, but I remember this happening around this time with Vera’s pregnancy.  I’m not too concerned about it, since I know I won’t feel like this forever.  I just use my heating pad occasionally and sleep with extra pillows for support.

Week twenty-two with Vera.
