6 months!

I cannot believe how different this pregnancy has become.  I felt so energized and GREAT at this point in my pregnancies with Liv & JP.  However, this pregnancy has sucked the energy right out of me.  I often feel like I could pass out from exhaustion, my heart feels like it's going to beat out of my chest just from carrying a load of laundry upstairs(it's not funny, but it makes me laugh because I've never experienced that in pregnancy before!) I have tried swimming more, walking, prenatal yoga, and naps...nothing is working, and I always feel like I walk around complaining of how T-I-R-E-D I am.  If I could just get on a regimented workout routine I think I'd feel better.  I was so active and worked out no less than 4-5 days/wk with my other pregnancies, so I'm a little disappointed that I haven't stuck with that this time around.  Oh well, I guess it's the one time in life I can have the excuse of laying low & taking it easy(well, as easy as possible while taking care of my family.)  I am trying to soak it all in, and fully embrace the miracle of pregnancy.  I seriously already feel like I'm lugging around a big ole' baby boy =) and I still have a ways to go.  Shane keeps reminding me that before I know it, I will have delivered him, and will miss him moving, growing, and living inside me.  He knows me too well!  Here are some 6 month buddha belly shots.

Hi Kelly..great belly shots!! Hope all is well with all of you. I think it is true what you say about the reason you are tired is because you already have TWO to take care of as well as one in your tummy!! Mom's are amazing, AND the Dad's that stand by them.
The Mom in me wants to know if you are taking or getting enough Iron. That can be the cause of the type of tiredness you describe.
Hugs for everyone..love to all
