Yucky, Yucky, YUCKY!!!
That's how everything in my little life is these days.
The "morning" sickness.
The pile of dirty dishes that never goes away.
My reflection in the mirror.
The 3 children peeing their pants and everything in a 3 foot radius.
The pile of laundry that never gets folded and put away,
even if it does happen to make it through the wash.
Etc.
I have had morning sickness to the point of feeling like I have the flu for a solid month now. Everything makes me sick: Eating, not eating, the computer, the tv, the car, music, whining. Every day seems like an eternity at this point. And it's only getting worse, so far! Usually mornings are my reprieve. I feel good enough to take care of the kids and clean up a bit. Then at nap I lay down and rest because I'm so tired. But not today. This morning I feel just as sick as I do every evening and all night long. It takes everything in me not to hurl. I get dinner finished and either watch the family eat it or just go to bed because I'm too sick to do anything else. The nights Lyle is gone at practice are torture for me....which happens to be tonight and I can hardly bear the thought of it after feeling this way ALL day already.
I know there's a light at the end of tunnel, but today has just been extraordinarily difficult.
I guess I'm taking lessons from Jude (;
Sorry about the whine-fest
I did get to hear June-Bug's heartbeat yesterday. Proof that someone really is in there making me so miserable. The kids are getting excited about the whole idea of "baby"
Camden is SURE, and I mean absolutely possitive, it's a girl and he says EVERY time that it's a sister. He can't wait to change "her" diaper all by himself and worries about whether or not he'll be able to find the right size. (: I told him the other day that there's a possiblity that the baby is a boy. He said, "Gwyneth can have a brother. I want a sister." At which point I begged, once again, "Please God, let it be only one." (:
Gwyneth is also begging for a sister. She can't wait to hold "her".
Jude doesn't want a baby. He gets so mad every time we ask if he wants a brother or sister and he says, "I want a car!"
"Wouldn't you like to hold the baby when it comes?" we ask.
"I want to hold a car!" he says.
We finally told him we'd get him a car when the baby comes because he's been so upset over it. Silly boy. Not sure how the transition will go for him. (:

I'm sorry you feel so sick and discouraged, Terah.
My last pregnancy was similar. Too sick to do a good job with anything and really, too tired to care most of the time. It will pass, although I expect you may get this sort of uncomforting "pat on the head" from others as well.
If you don't mind, I wanted to make a couple of suggestions that made my life more bearable.
Buy a stash of paper plates/bowls to use the next couple of weeks. It will give you a break from the neverending dirty dish patrol. And no one will die from it, promise!
Go to Wal-Mart and buy plastic diaper covers for your "trainees". They can pull on right over the training pants/undies, don't affect whether the child feels if they have had an accident, and help contain the mess in case there is a flood.
Will be praying for you all with Jude. Sounds as though he is quite a personality! We have never had a child say (s)he didn't want a new baby, so that is not a situation we have ever had to experience. However, I don't ever recall asking if they wanted it. We typically just let the kids know around the 5th month, and then show them we are happy about it. So far, they haven't caught on that they have a choice whether to like it or not...
Hope you feel better really soon!

cyber hug! (like it helps...)
Ugh! I am so sorry. I'm not feeling top notch today either if that makes you feel any better.? I know, not really.
Just let me know if I can take the kids for you on Thursday morning. I would be glad to.The boys would too!=)
Oh yeah, and try your oriental salad again. You mentioned it helped last time.
I'm sorry... I know how it feels, and it's not fun!
If I can help let me know.
I know you don't know me that well, but if you ever just want to sleep all day, I'd drive up there and take care of the kids for a day.

I'm serious.
that Jude is a little stinker...gotta love that guy! =)
sorry we keep your husband out during the bad times - but we appreciate your sacrifice!
now I feel really bad today didn't work out! Well I hope it helps lots on Monday. Hang in there, it's almost over, in the time being take your kids to Heidi and I, well,,, me anyways, I know Heidi hasn't been feeling as well either.
My kids would love some cousin's to play with!
I am so sorry you feel so yucky! I think paper plates sound like a grand idea!
You are one incredible Momma! I guess you have to be with another set of twins on the way...don't worry, it won't be twins, right? The kids really know when to put on their best for you too. Sounds like a pretty bad day. ): I'll be praying for my family!
Oh Man. You said it so well!!! I am there with ya chickabee!!! I'll share my drugs with ya!
