Just a Little Patience

So...most of the people that know me well know that I am pregnant. I was starting to think I was going to get by easy and not get very sick. The last few days have gotten increasingly more difficult, though...so it looks like that is not going to be the case. I am incredibly thankful for Phenergan and Zofran...my two new best friends. With their help I am able to be intermittently functional. Like most moms, I do a lot around here. When I am out of commission (which hasn't happened in a LONG time)it stresses me out a lot because I like things to be organized.

I am so thankful for my girls. They have been lifesavers. This past week or two they have been taking on more responsibility. Today I have them doing all of the math in the checkbook ledger (about 6 weeks worth!). Bless their hearts...they know mom feels lousy, so they do it. I am also thankful for my husband who, when he talks to me on the phone and can tell I am not doing well, offers to come home to help me. With them helping me, I will get through this. It is a real struggle for me to be patient enough to wait this sick-stuff out. I am always on the go and getting things done. I just keep telling myself it will be worth it when it's over.

It will be worth it...and you will start to feel better! Those weeks are so hard...thank goodness for the meds - they were a lifesaver for me too. I just had to let things go, which was super hard to do. Hang in there and let you family take care of you. Before you know it your energy will be back and you'll be able to eat again!
