What a Difference!

25 weeks and counting!

Right - 25 weeks this time, Left - 22 weeks last time

Some people say you cant tell a difference between carrying a boy and carrying a girl, and perhaps that is true for them, but let me tell you, this pregnancy is an entirely different experience! Here's how:
  • Carrying So HIGH!
Parker was so low that I honestly am more uncomfortable now then I even was at 40 weeks with him! I know that might seem like a little bit of an exaggeration, but really, I am ALREADY so uncomfortable and have been for a couple of weeks. She is way up in my ribs and it hurts to even bend at all. Maybe she is trying to teach me good posture. Either way, it is a major difference to me and is even visibly different.

  • Lack of Energy
This one is kind of opposite in 2 ways. With Parker I was so tired the first trimester and totally fine throughout the rest of the pregnancy. This time I was totally fine the first trimester and now more tired, that probably started about 20 weeks. Now of course this could be because I'm chasing around a little toddler this time around, something I obviously did not have to do last time, but I wake up in the morning after sleeping AT LEAST 8 hours and I can hardly get out of bed. Luckily once I get going, things are better, but I'm still just pooped!

  • Heartburn
Thank Heavens this is different this time around! I had such bad heartburn with Parker and it lasted throughout the entire pregnancy. I called it "Fire-throat." I would have thought that since I am carrying this one so high it would have been worse this time, but so far so good! I haven't had any at all!! (knock on wood) I sure hope it stays that way!

  • Emotional
I'm sure Jeff appreciates this one the most! I am so much less emotional with this pregnancy. I had so many silly meltdowns when I was pregnant with Parker it was ridiculous! I think I have only cried once during this pregnancy and it wasn't because of an emotional breakdown. So that is also a nice difference.

100 Day Left

Can you believe it! Time sure flies!
I can hardly wait to meet her!

There are differences with each pregnancy, for sure! For me, it's been hard to really remember what last time was like compared to this time! I feel like I am "so much more uncomfortable earlier" ...but I don't know if that's really true! It probably just SEEMS true! :) or maybe the pains are completely different because I am carrying this one SO much lower than I did with Kamryn... :) Who knows! Oh the fun things we remember and think about during pregnancy!

Glad you haven't had heartburn or emotional breakdowns as much this time! That's always nice! :) (and easier on the hubby!) :) Hope it stays that way!

You look fantastic! Sorry for being so uncomfortable with her being high but at least you skipped the heartburn! I never could figure out how I was carrying with Alessia, but I think it was high and it was not comfy.

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
