21 weeks

Well I have made it to the half way mark in my pregnancy and really can't believe it. It goes by so much faster with your second one. I am doing great. My nausea has gone away completely and my headaches have stopped. He is now the size of a carrot and another website says a cantalope. It is funny trying to picture your baby as a vegetable or fruit. The only complaint I have, which I hoped this time around I wouldn't, is restless leg. I had it horribly with Jameson and it has already started with this one. If you don't know what I am talking about I hope you never do. If you do know what I am talking about, you know just how miserable it can be. It usually happens at night when I lay down to go to bed. I just can't keep my leg still. I have to move. If we had a water bed I know Rusty would be motion sick! I know it is only a small inconvenience compared to what I will soon hold in my arms. Did I mention that I have a belly now. I am so afraid I will be huge by the time he gets here. I love feeling that little man kick and move and like that I actually look pregnant now and not just fat !

Rusty painted the nursery for me yesterday and it looks great! I am going simple this time with the bedding and color scheme and sticking to the classic baby blue wall color. 

Jameson talks about his baby brother now and seems to be understanding a little better. He looks at my belly and says, "Baby broder in mommy tummy".  It is so cute.

We have decided to name the baby "Levi". I am having the hardest time deciding on a middle name though. All my blogger buddies please leave a comment and give me some ideas. If I chose your name I promise I will give you credit on my blog. I need suggestions.

I have a doctors appointment on Saturday and I am dreading, dreading, did I mention dreading stepping on the scales. I will beg the nurse to take off at least 3 lbs for turkey and dressing. It is not fair that I have to weigh in after Thanksgiving. My next appointment will fall right after Christmas and I'll have to beg for another 3 lb decrease. 

Speaking of Thanskgiving, I have so much to be thankful for. I am so thankful to God for allowing me to be a mom again. I don't deserve the happiness and joy that Jameson and Levi bring to my life. I am thankful for my husband who loves me for who I am and will never leave me. I am thankful for my parents and inlaws that love me and help so much with Jameson. I am thankful that I have a job and can feed my family. I am thankful that I have a roof over my head and a car to drive. I am thankful most of all for my salvation. I pray for the day that Jesus reaches down and touches my little Jameson and Levi and saves them. I pray so hard for that day and pray that I can be a mom that is a Godly example for them. I have so much in life to be thankful for and take it for granted every day. I don't deserve the life I have, but I am so greatful that I get to live it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'll keep you posted.
