Well we are 25 weeks and 3 days as of today! I can feel Isaiah kick harder and harder every day (even though he's kind of laid back today). His kicks always put a smile on my face which makes everything else just disappear. I guess that's why I'm so angry/ill today because he's not kicking as much, just relaxing. These pregnancy hormones are going to be the death of me. I'm surprised my blood pressure isn't up already (which I should be praying it hasn't since high BP runs in my family). I don't know what it is but everything just irritates me today. Ever have one of those days? Where this person saying this irritates you and that person talking louder than normal makes you want to go off on them? Sometimes I wonder how I'll make it to 40 weeks without being charged with murder.. just kidding, but seriously. I love being pregnant; feeling his kicks and knowing that a human being is growing inside of me, but the other stuff can go away! The pelvic pain, the waking up in mid-sleep to turn over, the extreme heartburn (because I already had heartburn before I got pregnant), the urge to suddenly pee when you're 5 miles from a bathroom, the irritability and don't get me started on the not wanting to be physical with your husband thing. Poor man..

I do want Isaiah to keep growing until at least mid-January. We have this talk almost every day, "You can't come out until mid-January Isaiah or you'll get a butt whoopin'." (I'm just kidding btw, don't call DSS on me that quick) but I will be so glad when this pregnancy is over. I think being overweight hasn't helped anything at all. I already couldn't do many things because I was out of shape and now I defiantly can't do anything now. My husband, brother, and I are going to a big rivalry football game on Friday (mine & Nic's alma mater and my brother's school as well). I told him we'd have to get there super early because I will not walk half a mile and not be able to enjoy the game (The Clemson game about did me in). I don't want to be put on bed rest because I am too busy of a woman to be at a sudden halt plus I would have no money to my name if that happened. But I pray to God every day that he make me stronger (instead of taking away the pain and worries) and make these next few months fly by because most of all I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE OUR SON! :) I love him so much already!
