The past week has been filled with ups and downs. I thrived on my medicine for a few glorious days, and then it stopped working and I started puking again. That wasn't fun. So I got some Zofran. I'm no longer throwing up and I have somewhat of an appetite, but I do feel nauseas. Quite nauseas. I guess that's how this medicine works. Take off the edge and stop the puke. I'll take it!
Mornings are going well for me. I wake up with energy and drive. I get as much done as I can during that time. I've been really busy preparing for and teaching joy school and it's been really fun. I spend a good part of the morning getting the kids ready and off to school with help from Justin (thank goodness). I've been grocery shopping and cleaning in the mornings. Unfortunately, morning passes and hell begins. Around 2:30 I start to feel miserably sick and soooo tired. Every day that passes brings me a day closer to my 2nd trimester and I can't wait! Clearly, patience is a lesson God would have me learn. I'm trying!
Jacob spent some time snuggling my belly yesterday. It's so so nice to have him hug and kiss "the baby." It's not so nice when he tells me how squishy it is. :) When the kids got home from school yesterday he told Everett, "Our baby's gonna come out!" Ah, someday! He tells me there's a baby inside of him too. Not sure how to break the news to him that that's never going to happen. I guess he'll figure it out in time. I bought him a little baby doll and he has fun pretending it's talking and walking. I showed him how to hold it gently and he really loved that.
Everett doesn't show a ton of interest but does sometimes talk about the babe. He is happy about it but very busy in his own world of Kindergarten, reading, and time on the Wii! Charity is more willing to help me, knowing that I don't feel well. She is excited for the baby but also understands that it takes a loooong time so she's not very focused on it yet.
Justin is still a huge help to me despite being very busy with work and other various projects. He is probably starting to get bored with his sick wife who never wants to leave the house in the evenings and falls asleep by 9 without fail. The smell of his shampoo, deodorant, skin, breath, hair, etc. gives me goose bumps (not in a good way) so he's probably sick of feeling like the black plague. He is a good and patient husband and I can't wait to feel better so I can pull my own weight around here!
This week was better than last and I'm hoping next week is even better! I came across an AWESOME site that shows amazing photos of fetal development. Check it out: http://www.ehd.org/prenatal-images.php?thum_id=358 I didn't know my baby was so cute already! Hooray!

| I realize it's a horrid picture but that's what you get when you take a picture of yourself in a dirty bathroom mirror with the flash on. The bump is clearly visible so I'm okay with it. :) |

It's so good to hear what's going on with you and your baby! I love and miss you so much! I can't wait to see you again! My kids and I looked at that website with fetal photos for an hour. It is awesome! Emmy thought the pictures were actual pictures of your baby, and when we got the the one that shows genitals, she said, Aunt Manda's baby is a girl?!? It was cute. Can't wait to find out!
You look so cute! I wish I could rub your belly :)
That is a great website loved seeing what this little baby looks like right now! I'm sorry you still have to feel somewhat sick even with medication!
