And here comes the morning sickness


I really love being pregnant, being part of an amazing miracle. A tiny little person growing inside of me so fast that I can't comprehend it. The whole thought of it actually brings tears to my eyes. But for the last couple of days, it hasn't been very fun, morning sickness has decided to show up, and not just in the morning! I admit that mornings are the worst, it takes hours to ease up, and I can't eat anything for fear of throwing up. But it doesn't end there, it shows up periodically throughout the day, and gets really bad in the middle of the night, especially if I have to get up with the kids. I feel miserable, and I know I still have plenty of time to go. I am trying to embrace this time with an open mind, trying not to complain and annoy Scott, but when you have to get out of bed at 6 am just to puke it gets hard. Wish me luck for the next several weeks, and hopefully (but not likely) it will be gone before we go on our cruise.
The picture above is obviously not from my current pregnancy, but I thought it illustrated how wonderful pregnancy could be.

I love that picture. Pregnancy is such an amazing thing, I love it too. Hang in there with the sickness. It is sooooo not fun. You just have to remember that there is an end in sight, which is hard. I remember when I was pregnant, I was sick for so long I started thinking "how can I take care of a baby when I feel this awful?" then I would remind myself that you aren't sick after you have the baby. It just got to the point that I felt like I would never be myself again. But it is so worth it.
