Today was the second time I left the house in a month! The first time was on Tuesday, when I had a doctor's appointment. At first, I had a really hard time...especially in the elevator. But after awhile, I started feeling a bit better. Over the rest of the week, I had more moments of feeling less icky, just iffy. The evening is still really hard on me. What makes it really bad is that motion really affects me. So I feel fine when I am sitting or laying still, but when I have to get up is when I start feeling iffy again. This, of course, is impossible being a mother of two small boys and a wife. I can't shut down completely (as I sometimes want to) because I still have a family to care for.
Today, I finally made it back to church. I missed it so much. Even though I sat for a good portion of worship, I still made it through the service without feeling like having to go home and lay down. This week has been better than the previous three. So I am praying that I am on the upward swing from this "morning" (or better termed: all-day) sickness. Please pray with me. I just want to start feeling human again and I want to start enjoying being pregnant. I miss taking care of my boys like I should. I have put far too much on Joey during the day. He is my helper, but there are times he should just be able to play instead of helping mommy take care of little brother.
I have another appt scheduled this week; but I have to reschedule it for a different day, so I don't know what day it will be yet. Right now it is scheduled for Thursday, but since that is the last day of the month, Nick can't take any time off to watch the boys. A prenatal appt is not a good place to take three little boys. One thing that I read about the clinic is that they have 3D ultrasound equipment in each room! How cool is that. That means that I could see the details of the baby's face, rather than just a black and white fuzzy image. I have never had a 3D image of my unborn baby before.
Well, even though my posts are few and far between...I have very little to blog about. Nick will be going to Fairbanks first week of February. I'm not looking forward to it; not with the way I've been feeling. I hope I am feeling much, much better by then. My boys are growing so big and smart. I love them so much.
Hope everyone has a fantastic week. Love and miss you all.
