I know what my five fans are thinking.... shock and awe, Jenny is finally posting something. What this really means is I'm still alive and at the current moment not laying on the couch (or the bathroom floor for that matter). Some women are just made to have babies but I'm not one of them! I'm extremely grateful we're having another baby but man I really hate being pregnant! Thank heavens this time around I'm getting better earlier than I did with Pearl. Twenty weeks of puking and begging to die just sucks! There were many a days the past few months that I wanted to check myself into a mental institution or beg my doctor to put me in a medically induced coma until this ordeal was over. Luckily the second time around we knew better than to let the "morning" sickness get completely out of hand so I haven't lost nearly as much weight as I did with Pearl, got on meds early, and forced myself to try and stay hydrated.
But not to complain.... things are going much better than even a week ago. I just wanted to give everyone an update that I'm alive, Jeff's alive, and Pearl's alive (although there were a few days the three of us barely made it). I'm 14 weeks pregnant and due May 24. Hopefully feeling human again isn't a mean pregnancy fluke and I'll start posting regularly again - including starting up the 365 someday. Not that anyone's missed much the past few months though... seriously I've done nothing but puke, whine, sleep, cry, and try to tell my husband and sister how much I appreciate all their help. If anyone has ideas for how I can tell them thanks for keeping Pearl alive and listening to me cry, let me know.
