Very Very Sick

I'm sorry that I haven't posted in quite a while. BUT lest you think that we have dropped off the face of the earth, I thought I'd do some updating! The reason why there have been no posts is because I have been very sick with this pregnancy!

About a week ago and before, I was feeling icky and tired, but last Sunday, I took a major turn for the worse. Since then, I have been really awful and throwing up alot. The nausea has been overwhelming, and the only time I don't feel nauseated is when I am asleep. Otherwise, it feels like I could run to the bathroom at any given moment and lose what little I have in my tummy. The very thought of food churns my stomach -- I have to look away from restaurant commercials on tv, and I can't open the fridge without gagging. It's quite ironic that when I don't eat, the nausea and trips to the bathroom increase, and yet at the same time, it's so difficult to even think about food that I can only eat a few bites at a time. This week alone I have lost nearly five pounds, and that can't continue! I go to the doctor on Monday, and we'll see what she has to say.

But I am encouraged, because that means the pregnancy is strong, and I have high levels of crazy hormones rushing through my body and making me so desperately sick. We would appreciate your prayers, though, for a healthy mom and a healthy baby. Thank you for praying for us already!

Today was the first day I felt better! Brad, December, and I went and visited Kelli and Craig (my sister and brother-in-law), who are currently visiting Las Vegas. We had such a fun day together, and it was wonderful to see them again. We did some sight-seeing and shopped and had lunch together. What fun!
