Day 46

Please do not have a heart attack, but you are reading this correctly. I actually am going to write my blog TWO days in a row!!

Today I am thankful for:

• Rich making me a delicious dinner!
• Being able to sleep in today. I was so sick when I woke up that I decided just to go back to bed and leave the laundry until tomorrow! It felt wonderful.
• Having a day to do absolutely nothing but rest (and throw up a few times).
• Throwing up... yea, you read that correctly. I have been viciously ill with this pregnancy, but I'm so thankful to be pregnant that I don't mind it. We have prayed for this baby for a long time and have already had a stressful pregnancy with doctor reports. I'm just so thankful to be a mommy right now!
• White bread!! I haven't eaten white bread in about 10 years. It has been the only thing that I have been able to hold down though. I'm trying to eat as much as I can because I have LOST 4 pounds so far from being so sick. Nothing really sounds too good (except for my mom or Rich's cooking). I can't handle the cooking. By the time I get it finished, I'm sick from the smell.
• Rich watching American Idol with me and us just sitting on the living room floor and eating our dinner on the coffee table. We are trying to make the most of the last months of it being just us:)
• A healthy baby and delivery!

Day 45

At least I'm still doing it once a week, right? haha... I don't know what has gotten into me. I haven't been getting on the computer as much as I used to:(

Today I am thankful for:

• Going to our ultrasound appointment and our baby having a strong, healthy heartbeat (158). We were very nervous going in because I had starting clotting/spotting. I was so upset because I was in a lot of pain last night. Turns out that I have placenta previa. Please pray that the placenta "migrates" with the uterous as the uterous grows. We are so thankful that our baby is still healthy and strong!
• My mom making us meatloaf, mashed potatoes, beans, and hot water cornbread for dinner at their house. It was SO good!
• Spring Break! It was wonderful to get to sleep in this morning and just lay around.
• Rich taking the day off today so that we could spend some time together. I was so thankful to have him to lean on this morning when I was a wreck.
• My car starting. I got a new car, and the day after I got it the starter froze up on it. It finally started today!
• Rich cleaning the kitchen for me so that I could put my feet up.
• A healthy baby and safe delivery.

Day 44

So obviously I am getting worse at remembering to do my blog. I don't think the pregnancy brain is helping. I'm just going to do it when I can and when I can't, I'm not going to worry about it. I will get a full year in, but it may take me two years to do it:(

Today I am thankful for:

• Getting to hear our baby's heartbeat yesterday, and our gestational sac being fine!!!
• Getting a new car tomorrow!!!
• Being surrounded by prayer warriors and people that are so excited about this baby.
• A husband that goes to every doctors appointment with me and that won't miss an ultrasound. He is already a wonderful father!
• Coach Calipari getting hired as UK's new basketball coach (that one is for you baby)!
• Being almost half way through with the first trimester (the most nerve racking trimester of all).
• A healthy baby!
