Blogger's Block

I am 19 weeks and counting.  From confirmation of pregnancy to scans to diagnostic testing and diagnosis has seemed like such a long journey.  And I still have another 20 weeks to go!  What more I can possibly blog about from now until then is beyond me, but I will do my best.  I am suffering from a little bit of Blogger's block at the moment, as the initial wave of emotion has passed.  I'm sure I will have more thoughts and ideas to share, but for now I plan on enjoying this pregnancy and all it brings, as I know it will be my last.  

I have decided to lay off of the reading for awhile.  Not that I feel I know all there is to know, but just to give my head a break.  There is alot of information out there and at times can be overwhelming.  I am currently reading an auto-biography by Jennifer Graf Groneberg called Road Map to Holland.  Following the birth of her twins, she learns that one of her sons has Down syndrome.  This book is a truthful notation of how she found her way through his first two years of life.  I am enjoying it so far, and find it a refreshing break from the facts and figures of all my other reads. 

Who knows, maybe one day I will write a book of my own.  My life is definatley full of enough stories to compose a novel;   from starting a family at a young age, to raising 3 small children under the age of 5, to 3 teenagers now over the age of 13.  And amongst the "madness" of friends and Facebook, driving and dating, homework and hashtags is a vibrant, energetic 5 year old who is the centre of our family's universe. To think in a few short months, we will be adding a baby to our mix!  I have all ages covered just to keep a healthy balance of chaos.  It definitely keeps us young at heart and life interesting.  I am loving every minute of motherhood.  The good times and the not-so-good moments.  And even though this little man was an unexpected gift, he will be just that.  Another precious gift to our growing family.  And I look forward to being a mommy once again.  For the fifth and final time :)
