Nausea: Friend or Foe?

The first three months of pregnancy can be rough due to the nausea, so why do I wish such upon myself on the days that I am feeling great? I know that this sounds crazy, but the first three months are scary, too. Scary because this is the time when most miscarriages occur. It is because the nausea reassures me that I am still pregnant. At least in my mind. I remember how relieved I felt once I got past the three month mark. Then I wished the nausea away. Funny as I'm typing this, I'm starting to feel nauseous. See what I did! I was feeling great yesterday, no nausea and then again this morning. Here comes my friend!

Panic Mode

Panic mode. How am I going to get this house in order? How am I going to school two little girls at home with an infant on my hip? How am I going to...... You name it- I'm thinking it. I'd like to get motivated on the house, but feeling very tired today. Little Peep wants to rest. Maybe after a nap.

I'm Pregnant! The Reaction

My reaction: After seeing the two pink lines, I prayed a thank you to God for the blessing. Next, I had to wake up my husband to share the news. Beside excitement, I felt a bit nervous about him. How would he react? Even though he knew that there was a possibility, he had expressed numerous times in the past that he was content fathering just two children.

My husband: Luckily, his reaction was better than I thought it would be- mostly shocked. Mostly wondering if the test was correct. Half asleep squinting at the test and counting the multiple pink lines.







Peanut-age 5: Screamed and laughed and screamed and laughed and cheered!







Sunshine-age 7: At first, she thought that we were joking. She kept asking us if we were kidding and when she realized that it was real, tears of joy poured down her face. "My prayers are answered," she says as she cries.
