My draft from yesterday:
I think I have started to write this post about 3 times and then find myself stopping. I have a tendency to want to blog about all the happy things in my life, but I think it's time to be real and honest. The past 2 months have been extremely challenging for me emotionally and physically. I knew when I got pregnant what I would be up against because I was very sick with Caroline. Sure enough, when I hit the 6 week mark it all started-fatigue, vomitting, and everything else that comes with it. I am now 15 weeks along and the all day pregnancy sickness has been over-shadowed by extreme allergies, which I believe has now turned into some sort of infection. For 2 weeks I have not been able to breathe out of my nose. I have also had a fever on and off since Wed. I think I've called my nurse in desperation everyday this week. I am now on an antibiotic which is making me nausea, mucinex to help the blockage in my nose, tylenol for my fever, and veramyst to help my breathing.
Yesterday Caroline started to get sick. I put her down for her nap with a fever of 103.9 and then yesterday afternoon I think she vomitted 24hrs worth of food. She was up through-out the night last night with a fever and continues to have one this morning.
I want to ask my prayer-warrior friends and family to pray for us in the following areas:
1. This baby would continue to be strong and healthy
2. For God to help me see that there is end in sight and to cope with being continually sick
3. To continue to give Keith a servant's heart to be able to care for us during this time
4. a cheerful heart
Today:
The good news is that Caroline no longer has a fever, just a runny nose. I am starting to begin to breathe again. The bad news is that now Keith is not feeling well. I'm confident though that he will feel better tomorrow b/c that is typical Keith (so jealous). The bad news is that now that the allergies are lessening I'm extremely nausea once again. I just finished eating a handful of crackers and unfortunately was not able to keep them down.
Tomorrow: I go in for my 4 month visit. Please pray that the doctor would not have any issues locating the heartbeat with the doppler and that we have a good visit.
