Wow, I can't believe it's almost a month since I last wrote. Christmas and all the traveling we've been doing for the holidays wore me out! We had a wonderful Christmas this year and have so many things to be thankful for. We began Christmas in Tullahoma with my family. We arrived there the Friday before Christmas and stayed until Christmas day and then headed to Huntsville to visit with Matt's family. We stayed there until Wednesday and then headed back to Franklin to rest up for a few days before traveling to Gatlinburg for the New Year. We left for G-burg on Saturday and stayed until Tuesday. We took the boys and went with Paige and Lance, Joel (Matt's brother) Marci(his wife), Amelia(Matt's sis) and John(her hubby) and their two boys, Jack (7yrs) and Owen(5yrs). We had a great time, but we were ready to come home and recoup.
Some other exciting news and one of the other reasons I have been so tired is b/c two days before Christmas we found out I am pregnant! I was rather shocked to say the least. I have been taking Birth Control pills, but must have skipped a few during the month of October. I went to the Dr. before we went to Gatlinburg. They said I have an extremely high level of HCG. That high level has been contributing to my never-ending nauseousness and vomiting. I never felt like this during the pregnancy of my boys. This is a horrible feeling. I have absolutely no energy and feel very nauseous all day. I have no appitite at all. Poor Matt, he has been taking very good care of me and the boys when he comes home from work. He has been helping with the house chores and getting the boys bathed and in bed. They need to clone him! Thank God I got the one and only! Right now he is playing hide and go seek with the boys! They love their Daddy!
Today the boys went to their Preschool and I laid around and didn't do a darn thing. I feel like I have the flu and the stomach bug. I can't wait until this feeling ends and I can be excited about this pregnancy. I go to the Dr again on Tuesday Jan 16. They will do the full exam on me and do another ultra sound. I have already had one ultrasound to determine when my due date is b/c I wasn't sure when my last period was. They determined my due date is August 24 or there-abouts. I am about 8 weeks pregnant. I would love it if anyone reading this could just pray for us and this preganacy and that the baby and me will be healthy and safe. Thanks!
I'll write more later!
