This week has been, to put it lightly, a rough one. I have felt so so so very sick. This Sunday around lunch time, my tooth started aching. It started out a little sore, and within an hour I was moaning and writhing around in pain. Justin tried calling a million dentists and no one would see me because it was after hours and I was not a patient. I ended up taking percocet because I was in so much pain. Anyone who knows me well knows that it must have been serious because I hate taking medicine unless absolutely necessary. Every six hours on the dot I needed another pill all through Sunday and Sunday night. The next day, Justin stayed home to watch the kids while I went to see the dentist. I hurled up both my breakfast and lunch (I know you wanted to know that), and could barely eat dinner. I'm hoping it was just the after-effects of percocet that made me so nauseas and not just pregnancy because a pregnant girl has got to eat. At the dentist I found out that I need a root canal and a $1200 crown! Holy Schneikies! Basically it was a terrible, awful, no good, very bad weekend.
However, I woke up this morning feeling okay. I drank a protein shake for breakfast and still felt okay. I took Jacob to his first day of preschool and still felt okay. I ate lunch at torchy's and still felt okay. I went to a meeting, went to the store, and picked up Jacob, and I still feel okay! Hooray! I think feeling so awful over the weekend has really put things in perspective for me. It could always be worse and I'm grateful that I'm only feeling as sick as I am, because I know there could be a million things piled on top of it and today, there aren't. I'm feeling pretty optimistic at the moment.
I am so so grateful for Justin. I feel like he's my mommy right now. :) He does everything for me when I'm not feeling well. Grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, child care, making me tea every day, serving me food (no small task when I'm feeling so picky), making appointments for me, doing all he can to get the kids ready for school, scratching my back, entertaining me AND kicking butt at his full time job and free lance work, among other things. Thank you honey! I love you so much and can't wait till I feel well enough to return the favor. I'm also grateful for great friends who have sympathized, cooked dinner, and watched kids for me. You know who you are. Thank you!
When things were hard this weekend I had a really hard time focusing on the fact that at the end of this pregnancy, I get to have another amazing child. Today while I was driving back from Jacob's preschool, I felt so so excited just thinking about how wonderful it is going to be to hold my sweet baby. It's going to be so fun to see Charity, Everett, and Jacob greet a new sibling. I can't wait to see how our lives change. I know things won't be perfect, but another member of our family=more love. More love is always a wonderful thing!
