Puppy Love :)
I know for pregnancy this is no milestone, but for me it is! For the last month straight I have been sooo sick. Nothing sounds good... but I always find myself starving... and I have pretty much been throwing up everyday. It was never this bad with Gracelyn I guess she was my easy pregnancy ;) I was so excited to make a delicious shrimp linguini and was devastated when the first bite made me sick ... I have pretty much been living off of ritz crackers and A WHOLE LOT OF cereal... dry and with milk... it seems to be the only thing that holds my nausea over for a little bit! David has been wonderful with helping out. He has been pretty much taking care of dinner since I can't stand smells in the house and he has been very understanding of our messy "lived in" home. Since I get up every morning at 6 and don't get home until 4 I have no energy to clean ... thankfully I have fridays off so I am able to spiff the house while I can :)
Since I have started working full time it has been even harder with as sick as I am during the day. Chasing after Gracelyn and caring for this sweet 2 month old has definitely been a challenge ... we didn't plan to be pregnant just yet.. since my job is over in May... I am hoping hoping HOPING that I get past this nausea and throwing up and really start to enjoy spending my days with these two precious girls even more that I already do! At first Gracelyn didn't want to share her Mommy... what 15 month old would? But once she understood that it was another life and not just something she couldn't touch she changed. I let her hold the baby with help of course and hand me diapers and let her hold her bottle. Since I started including her more she just wants to help out with everything, if the baby's binky falls out then she will pick it up and bring it to me, if she is crying Gigi will pat her tummy and my favorite... when the baby is laying down on her activity mat Gracelyn will crawl under it and lie next to her... heads touching... so tender! I am hoping that watching C everyday will slowly help to transition Gracelyn to being the big sister!
I love Love LOVe my belly.. it is growing so much faster this time around and I just love to rub the little round basketball that is already beginning to form! People who see me definitely know I am pregnant.. unlike last time it took a while to get past the "chubby" stage! I guess that is normal for your second baby.
I am trying to Love every minute of this pregnancy even the ones where I am sicker than a dog.. I know that I am growing a life inside and that the Lord is watching over this precious one! We prayed for this and I am so blessed to BE sick and GET to experience the many joys of pregnancy! However, I am praying that it will slowly dwindle as more days pass... hey, a girl can hope right ;)

I basically lived off of goldfish for 20 weeks. It was the only thing I could sneak a bite of without my 1st graders noticing and without being sick. 20 weeks was the magic number for me though. I hope yours goes away soon. It's hard to take care of other little bodies when your body is in shock. 10 weeks IS a milestone. You should definitely feel good about it.
Congratulations sweet girl! we're missing you at tues morn...if you have a morning off and feel well enough, feel free to drop in!
Amanda. I have to agree with Ellie! 10 weeks is a milestone. I totally marveled at the sight of 10 weeks on our calendar! :) I hope the morning sickness subsides for you soon!
