Lady Ellice

At 1:25 in the morning, I hear a loud crash from my bathroom. I get up to go check on my husband and find that he has emptyed the garbage can so that he can puke into it. After an hour I get him to get back in bed, only for him to throw up twice, then take a shower and come back to bed. the rest of the night passes like this, brad thows up, takes a shower comes to bed for a little whle.. repeat. I was up with him as much as possible, but he also let me sleep as I had to get up and cook thanksgiving turkey for eveyrone. Morning comes, I go and start the turkey, (which looks horrible to the pregnant lady) after a few hours of basting, brad comes down for alittle while. The turkey is looking good to me. Joel and sonya come with hayden (who has been up sick with a cough all night) then we all sit down to a wonderful lunch, brad goes to the bathroom adn throws up some more. he goes up stairs to shwoer and try to sleep. I hang out with my brothers, talk to mom and dad, and nanny ont he...

That is right folks at this point, we shall call it peanut, because that is all it is. A peanut with a heart beat. Of course right now everything looks fine. but then it is hard to see if their would be a problem when it doesn't have arms or legs yet. Just a heart beat, which it did have, which made me cry. Both brad and I are more excited about peanut now that we have see it and seen the heart beat. it is understandable of course that we are a little trepidatious going into this pregnancy and that fear is a very real emotion. We also however are very happy to see that all is starting out well. I still feel nauous, but it is something i can live with. THe dr, said not to take any meds that I don't have to... so for all you who suggessted stuff for the nausia, oh well, I will just have to bear. I will try not to whine so much as I am sure that is annoying. In other news brad has his yearly, up all night cough until he blacks out cough and cold. so please pray for hi...

My day off that could have been better. So I stayed home today, because I have been feeling really badly. Very, very, very strong morning sickness this time around. and this was the first day where I didn't have something I had to stay for after school, or a training, or a meeting to go to .. so I decided I was going to get some sleep. My one job was to run to the post office and pick up a package for brad. I stayed in bed until 10:30 got up had lunch then decided to go and get hte pcackage.. threw on a sweatshirt some pants and a coat as it is cold and get in the jeep. Get there get the package.. all is good... then I get back in the jeep and it won't start. Usually you jiggle the gear shift and it will start. 20 tries later it still won't start. I call brad.. I am still calm. He caan't help cause he is at work, but he is supportive. I call joel, no answer, call several other people (all ones who aren't sick, or have kids that they would have ot load in the...

So it is a good sign that I have been nausous since satruday morning. but it is a bad feeling. Except for when I am sleeping, and the ten minutes after I eat, I feel sick to my stomach the rest of the time. It is not a pleasant feeling. I don't remember having this much morning sickness last time, but man it is like it never lets up. But my mother says she heard mornig sickness means a healthy baby, so I guess I just have to suck it up and deal. On other news my class size has changed again. It went from 14 to 16 to 20 then up to 22, and it has now dropped back to 19.. all of this in about 4 weeks. That is pretty impressive. It is becauseI have hte over cap class and they move alot. Oh well. thems the breaks.
