Today I am officially entering the fifth month of pregancy! It is exciting that we are getting closer to meeting our little one, but it is also very scary. In the past couple of days, I have started to feel her move, not often, but I have felt it! Levi even got to push on my lower abdomen and wait patiently to feel her move. I didn't tell him when she did, I waited on him to look up and say "was that it?", to confirm.
So to the overwhelmed part. I am on my 7th day of being sick. It started last Tuesday night as a sore throat, turned into a severe head cold that caused me to take two sick days, and now, I believe, has turned into a sinus infection. Thank God for Levi and my Mom, without whom, I think I might have not made it. Because I have severe sinus issues anyways, (I wish I had the money that has been spent trying to solve them) I normally undergo pretty agressive treatment to head off the infection or to take care of the infection. Now that I am pregnant, according to the Dr. this is not an option. So, he said I could take Claritin D, rest, and drink fluids. It has been miserable. So, like I said, I am pretty sure it is now an infection...which means I will have to take antibiotics. Fortunately, he says there are some that will work with being pregnant, but I still cannot have a shot. Joy! Oh, and Levi woke up this morning with a sore throat. So he probably has it now too.
In addition to this, it is the most busy time it could possibly be in my office. I am averaging seeing about 25 students a day right now. Between being sick and going to the bathroom every 25 minutes (they tell you this gets better after the 1st trimester...lies) I am about to lose my mind.
Add to this:
--Backyard Drainage Issues
--Checking out daycares
--Feeling like I am a failue at ever making our house complete (i.e. decorating, painting, light fixtures, basically everything you need to make your house cute).
--Due to sickness, feeling like Levi isn't getting any of the good Emily
--Financial Decisions for the future.
I am probably being a little dramatic, but not much. So please pray for the Lord to send major energy and good sprits my way. I definitely need them. I know that everything will work out and I am relying on the Lord to keep me grounded. I just really needed to type things out.
The next post will be better :)

We will be praying Emily! I can't wait for your little one to arrive!
On a side note: I just noticed that the photography blog you have on your list is the first one I did, I've changed it now to ashleygentryphotography.blogspot.com. There are lots of new updates since then!
We've only met brief when Kyle taught SS when Jason and Jamie were both out, but...just wanted to say... I felt the same way and it will get better! I think it is just natural and it will ALL fall into place by the time the little blessing arrives!! Take a breathe, relax, take care of yourself, and "soak it all up"! You are in my prayers!!
I can totally relate...I think every expecting mother can relate. I have just been setting goals for myself to accomplish. I start with the most important things and then work my way down the list. Everything will be fine. I will be praying for you.
