Last July we found out we were pregnant with our 5th child. I really haven't blogged much about this pregnancy. Why, because I've been in denial about the whole thing. I turned 40 last October and our family motto was "4 before 40". My mind can grasp taking care of 4 children. But when I begin to think of 5, my mind goes in overload. It's just one more child, so why overload. I don't have an answer. All I know is that I keep pushing it back and not allowing myself to think about it.
It's been a very uneventful pregnancy. I had very little morning sickness, just a lot of fatigue due to anemia. Add that with my thyroid issue and my energy and motivation have been stripped. It's just in my last trimester that my energy has returned. I haven't even really been counting the weeks until just recently. My last OB visit my doctor said, "well when I see you in January, you'll start coming in every 2 weeks". And I was like, "why?". Duh! I'm 10 weeks away from giving birth!
I'M 10 WEEKS AWAY FROM GIVING BIRTH!
I guess I'm going to have to get into high gear and get this place ready for a baby! Pray for me. I really am beginning to get anxious when I think about it.

Yes, I've been wondering why we haven't heard much about this 5th pregnancy. You'll do fine, it wasn't until 4 that I finally figured out the whole transition phase so I'm sure your have all sorts of positive knowledge that will get you through this delivery, confidence that you have great medical help and family around to help and confidence in God who has cared for you all along and continues to hold you in his hand.
