I might as well kiss this cute blog of mine goodbye for a while.
I thought that I'd be able to keep it updated but each day, each week I just seem to get sicker.
If that is even possible.
It is all I can do to take care of our little Olivia.
The house is a disaster.
It desperately needs to be cleaned and you should see the larger than life pile of who knows what on our desk.
Just a quick update on the pregnancy.
I am now just 10 weeks along.
1/4 of the way done!
I am now just 10 weeks along.
1/4 of the way done!
Everything is going fine besides the fact that I've already lost track of how many times I've barfed and the fact that sleeping through the night is nearly impossible.
I wake up at least 5 times.
I just don't remember being this sick with Olivia.
Every morning I wake up wondering how I'm going to make it through the day.
But somehow I do.
But, despite my constant nausea and barfing, lack of energy, homesickness and much more I still every moment feel so blessed to be a mother.
A mother to Olivia and a mother to this sweet baby.
I wouldn't trade what I'm going through for anything.
I'm also so grateful for Michael.
I could not do this without his love and support.
He has been so busy with school and finals being just 3 short weeks away, yet he still spends those few spare moments helping with Olivia, picking up the house, doing the dishes, comforting me, ect.
I've felt so guilty about not having a nice dinner ready for him when he gets home, a clean house, perfectly folded laundry and all those things I did before the morning sickness.
But not once has he made me feel guilty or bad about my constant couch laying, constant talking about how sick I feel and how badly I want to move back to Utah.
He instead continues to reassure me that this is only for a short time. That it will pass.
That everything will be okay.
Oh how I love him and am truly honored and blessed to have him as my husband.
Last but not least I would like to end with some exciting news.
Olivia and I will be flying to Utah Nov. 28th and will be there until the 27th of December.
Michael has finals and so he will be joining us on the 8th of December.
Michael will be able to focus on studying for finals and not have to worry about me and Olivia while I will get some relief and sweet Olivia will get everybody's undivided attention.
As hard as it will be for me to be away from Michael, I really am excited.
And hey he'll be joining us just 10 days later.
I'm so grateful for my parents and their willingness to take in a very sick girl and a very hyper toddler.
I'm hoping to feel better as I enter my second trimester just days upon arriving in Utah!
So the countdown begins.
16 more days!!
I can't promise any updates for a while. But we'll see.
Maybe I'll post a picture of our little one next week when we get our first ultrasound!
Oh Isabella! I'm so sorry you are so sick!! I really hope you get feeling better!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it!! Seriously, women amaze me. There is no questioning the love a mother has for their child...we go through so much for them! Soon it will all be in the past and you won't even remember how horrible it was. I hope you're feeling better by the time you come to Utah, but either way, it will be so nice to have some help!
ReplyDeleteOh my sweet girl. You might not get this because you are all ready in Utah...thank goodness!!!!! I just want to say how proud I am of you. You are one strong cookie and I know you can get through this. I watched your mama's pregnancy and this one sounds more like hers...dangit!! Just know I love you and I am hoping every single day that you will wake up and feel better. I am praying for you.
