What a beautiful day it is today. It's wreaking havoc on my sinuses, but was so nice to spend some time at the park today and outdoors.
I can see that headaches and nausea are going to stick around a while as my body goes through some crazy stuff preparing to grow this little bitty life inside.
At some point, I may break down and take something. I've tried to hold off.
I feel so worthless. I can get going in the morning, but by Reece's naptime, I'm doing good just to be vertical. A gal that used to let her son watch 1 or 2 episodes of Sesame Street a week, now allows a daily dose. Laundry, dinner preparation, and general housekeeping isn't quite getting done. I still can't help feeling losery. Truth is that I just don't feel good. Seriously, not good most of the time right now.
But, I'm trying to ignore the losery voices. What my body is doing right now is so awesome and so important. I'm so excited for that still!
I've done pretty well in giving myself grace so far. It's such a busy time with Reece's birthday and Christmas. And, someone is about to turn 40. 40 and preggers...I LOVE IT!
Darren has been so great and not made me feel inept at all. He's been willing to eat leftover meat loaf a million times and pick up dinner other times. He took over the other night when I crashed before 9. I'm so thankful for him. And I know his patience is also silent joy for this little miracle God gave.
Thank you, Lord, for another day.

I vowed that I would follow the American Pediatrics Association recommendation of no television before two years old. When I became pregnant when Aleck was 18 months old, Sesame Street suddenly became an acceptable show around my house. Now that I am in my second trimester and feeling more energy, we are weaning off the television but it was so nice to lounge on the couch those first few months when I was exhausted.
