Me During Pregnancy

My name is Madison. This is the first time I've ever done a blog.

Im a stay at home wife and have my first baby on the way. I thought it would be good for me to start a new hobby and I thought maybe talking about my pregnancy/child by blogging might be good.

Ive never done this before so the first few blogs might not be great but bear with me while I figure this all out. ☺️ Here is a little about my husband and me and my pregnancy.

My husbands name is Shea. And we met August 7 of 2015. Our first date was August 15 and it was absolutely perfect. We became instant best friends that evening. Exactly 3 months later on November 15 2015 Shea asked me to be his wife and of course I said yes. ☺️ The next few months were hard on us as we had some family issues. It definitely put a strain on our relationship but we kept our eyes on God the whole time and got through it and on June 4 2016 we got married.

This pregnancy is truly amazing for Shea and I because back in late September early October 2016 we found out I had PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). If you don't know what that is; it's where your ovaries grow pearl like cysts that can rupture. PCOS makes it difficult (and for some woman impossible) to get pregnant. And it was difficult for us. During September 2016 we thought I was pregnant but when we had a blood test run we found I wasn't. And our Midwife figured out it was due to the PCOS. She suggested I change my diet and exercise habits and start taking some herbal supplements and see if anything changes. Well it did and on November 22 2016 I tested positive. 

Today I am 31w2days along. I have approximately 8.5 weeks left. On February 28 2017 we had an ultrasound done and found out we are expecting a boy. (And we both wanted a boy first so I'm very happy about that.)

Pregnancy has been rough a lot of the time to be honest. The first 3 months were horrible; as I couldn't eat because I was nauseous everyday. During the second trimester it was better. The morning sickness was gone and I was STARVING all the time. I literally ate us out of house and home. I had more energy compared to the first trimester but there were days where I was just so tired. I defiantly noticed a difference after I started my third and final trimester. Because your baby grows so much during these last few weeks I have been in a lot more pain and have been very exhausted. Doing everything wears you out... getting dressed, taking a shower, shaving your legs, cooking dinner, taking a walk, cleaning the house... you get the idea. Also emotions have definitely set in more than ever before. I find myself crying over nothing-Or crying because I dropped something. Sleeping has also become almost impossible. Because of your big tummy you can't get comfy. Baby is always moving at night so that disrupts your sleep. He also finds kicking my bladder is the most fun thing to do. 

Even though it's been tough I try to Lean on God and remember that in just a few short weeks I will get hold this little bundle of joy. 

1 Samuel 1:27- For this child I have prayed; and The Lord has granted the desires of my heart.
