im in my 13th week of pregnancy this week and i can say, with great joy, that my symptoms are settling down. or at least starting to settle down. or at least i am having a few good days strung together here and there.
i still feel nauseous most of the time but i have gone about a week now keeping some food down every day. this turn of events came at just the right time because i was starting to feel so desperate and hopeless about the next 6 months. i want so badly to go into my appointment next week and have the nurse document that, rather than losing weight again, i have maintained, or even gained a few pounds. anything that keeps me from having to have a picc line and in home health care for the duration of my pregnancy. thank you to everyone who has been praying and thank God for a bit of relief and renewed hope.
i have been so distracted by the way my body has responded thus far, i have hardly thought about what this baby will actually mean for our family. all i can think about is what this pregnancy means for us. but as i leave the first trimester and am hopeful about feeling a little better, i can start to wrap my head around the actual idea of the baby. i can look around the house and envision a little one, enjoying the cool fall air (or possibly the humid stuffy hot as all get out fall air). and im starting to really really anticipate it.
