Baby # 5

Goodness gracious, I love him so much already! 😍

I am 19 weeks today and man I am so happy to be just about halfway through. I always look at 20 weeks on as a countdown. Let it be known, I’m extremely thankful for this pregnancy but I am just over being pregnant. From the scare with the blood clots, to being EXTREMELY sick, now I’m constantly exhausted, but can’t sleep and my feet and ankles are blowing up every day from the heat. I’m also finding myself really really anxious about the pregnancy in general. Every appointment and ultrasound I find myself very nervous and I’m just ready to feel better in all the ways. We’ve got awhile to go until Fall but more than ever I can’t wait for the temps to get more comfortable. Doing really anything out of the ordinary these days is a lot for me. And of course, we are extremely busy all summer long...so that’s that! I think it’s a combination of the weather, my age and it being my 5th pregnancy. 

A lot of people keep asking us about names and we’ve gotten some mixed feedback. Most people love what we have chosen (right now we are down to two names. I love one and Mike loves another.) but we’ve also gotten some funny looks. So I’ve told Mike that from here on out the name is a secret until he gets here. I just don’t want others opinions (or faces) to sway us from using a name we truly love. So, you’ll all just have to wait til he gets here! Andddd I know what you’re all thinking “Kristen, you’re just going to change your mind anyways.” And while yes, that may be true...boy names are also much easier for me than girl names. Logan was named at this point and we never looked back! And I’ve stuck to the same name for this baby since the day I found out he was a boy so! I think I’m pretty certain...but again, it’s a secret!

That’s it for today! I’m not feeling very well and think I’m coming down with something so I’m going to go throw some laundry in and then take it easy. As easy as I can with 4 rambunctious needy kids! ☺️
