second time around.

Me, In Real Life

I’m sitting here writing this with Leland sitting next to me along with his six hot wheels cars. :) I am still in somewhat of a disbelief that we’ll have another little one come next year. What a blessing!! I would have never guessed five years ago that I’d have two little ones by now. This time around, I haven’t been quite as sick as my pregnancy with Leland. The morning sickness  with him was horrible and lasted 4-5 months. They even prescribed me meds to keep the nausea down. So thankful it’s not like that this time! I’ve just been extremely tired and I’ve even fought some depression this time around. Crazy huh?! It’s common in early pregnancy and it definitely hit me a little bit. Just hormones going crazy I guess-haha!! Lately, I’ve been feeling much better and even working out again. Praise the Lord.

Anywho, I’m looking forward to spending this long weekend at home, catching up on some things. Now that I’m feeling better, hopefully I will be writing more as well. Today, I’m counting my blessings and looking forward to this crazy but awesome journey! Have a beautiful weekend, friends! xo.

    Thankful to hear that you’re feeling better, Arielle! I’ve learned that working out really will help with a lot of your issues, and as I find, pregnant or not, it sure helps with the depression! Sure wish I lived closer to work out with your mom these days! :)

    I love every detail about your image … just beautiful! You have a blessed weekend .. we’re getting ready, anytime now, to enjoy some of Hurricane Isaac’s rain this weekend here in Indy … we sure do need it! Hopefully, it won’t last through Monday, but if so, I need to do some catching up here online anyway, and I’ve neglected my site far too long!!

    I am so excited about a new arrival! I know it will be a “second wonderful blessing” to many of our lives. I tell my “mama” that she if going to have her 10th great grandchild in April…It makes her laugh and smile, so I tell her everytime that I am with her, because with Alzheimers , she forgets. What a beautiful gift you gave her…to relive the “proudness” that she has about that…. over and over! Love Terra
