I assume everyone who knows me knows that I'm pregnant. If not, sorry. And now, finally, I'm at the wonderful point in pregnancy where I'm actually glad to be pregnant instead of wallowing in the misery of nausea 24/7. It was a hard time. I didn't care about anything but the next time I could sleep. Then, about three weeks ago, the clouds parted and I felt the motivation to live again. The only thing I managed to keep up on before that, besides taking care of Ivy, was keeping our finances in order. Jared did just about everything else, poor guy. It wore us both out. A lot.
But anyway, I'm having another girl, which we're quite happy about. I had my big ultrasound last week and she appears to be perfectly healthy. Amazing, isn't it, when you barely eat for four months? My due date is October 31, but if my last pregnancy was any indication, she'll be born sometime in November. Ahh, can I just say again how happy I am to be happy again?
I know all ultrasound pictures look the same, but here are a few anyway:
 |
| Above: 15 weeks, when we found out she was a girl |
 |
| At 20 weeks, when we found out she looks healthy |
P.S. My mom was the sickest pregnant woman I've ever seen, so, as a kid, when I heard her tell people she had morning sickness, I imagined it spelled "mourning" because it looked so incredibly miserable and it definitely didn't only happen in the morning. I'm so grateful that I don't have it as bad as her.
Ugh, I know your pain. I remember sleep being my only escape, but your body only lets you do that 8 hours out of 24. I wish I could feel good about being done having anymore babies.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better. The worst is over. Congratulations!
Haha Becca, I would definitely say Lisa's body lets her sleep more than 8 hours a day . . .
ReplyDeleteLove you Lisa!
. . . love the pics of Ivy too btw, especially the one with Elmo and her together under the blanket.
