The Past 2 Days

The past 2 days have been a bit rough. I shouldn't complain because I know others have had it worse. I got a bad stomach virus and vomited around 5 times at home, 1 on the way to the hospital, and 4 more times at the hospital. I could barely stand up on my own two feet by the time I got to the hospital. On top of the dehydration, the baby decided to tease me a bit and I was having contractions about every 10 minutes. That led to a couple of shots that made me feel like if my heart was going to come out of my chest. Fun, fun, fun. The baby was head down in the ultrasound too. The doctor decided to keep me at the hospital to monitor the contractions and thank God, by this morning, they had died down. I'm very thankful to be home, sleeping in my bed and almost back on a regular diet. It's very scary when you're 27 weeks pregnant and you start getting thoughts of having a preemie. That's when I have to remember that the baby I'm carrying belongs to God and He's in control of that life. So, thank you all who prayed for me and Ian and thanks to my dear husband who stayed by my side the whole time. And of course I have to thank God for being so faithful and for bringing me peace these past 2 days. :)

2 More Nights

Well, here I am in my 26th week of pregnancy and feeling a bit down when nighttime comes. Chris went on a Missions Trip to Nicaragua and I had no idea how horribly lonely I was going to feel especially at night. We always have dinner together, watch some tv together, and these past nights have been hard, not only for me, but for the other wives as well. I thank God for the opportunity that Chris was given to take this trip and even though I miss him like crazy, I'm sure this trip is something that he will never forget. I haven't heard his voice, but through other people that have had some sort of very minimal communication, I've heard they're all doing fine. So, only 2 more nights to go and I can't wait to hear all about the trip. Good Night!

Week 24

I am just now entering Week 24. Only 16 more to go. I've been feeling ok. My ribs really hurt whenever I'm sitting down for too long, so I have to stand up and walk around. Sleeping gets harder. I guess I'm just being prepared for the sleepless nights that are to come. I can't find a comfortable position to sleep in so I spend the whole night tossing and turning. The leg cramps are pretty bad too. Regardless of all of that, I'm really enjoying being pregnant. I'm also anxious for Baby Ian to come because I can't wait to meet him and hold him and see what he looks like. I thank God that everything is going so well even with my very petite frame.
