Although...I did have a dream last night that I was the female version of Benjamin Button. No lie. Wonder what the underlying meaning of that dream was?! Ha! It followed by another dream of me being in a field of Sees Candies. I was just about to get some raspberry creams when I awoke to the false reality. So not right.
This past year has brought me so many blessings. Mr. Wonderful and I bought a brand new home, we had an exquisite and unforgettable wedding, we honeymooned in two amazing places and made special memories there...and the latest news to share is...we're expecting a baby!!
We've been married almost 14 weeks and I'm 12 weeks pregnant. Personally, I believe we brought back a permanent souvenir from our 2 week honeymoon, but the Dr. says we likely conceived the week after we returned. I honestly didn't think we {well, technically, I} would get pregnant so soon {heck, it took the eldest Duggar and his wife 5 months to conceive}; apparently I'm married to a sharp shooter! I've been given the due date of January 13th - we, and our parents, are elated! We broke the exciting news to our mothers on Mother's Day; the timing was perfect.
While I am overjoyed to be carrying a little miracle inside of me, I have been severely sick with the worst "morning/noon/night sickness" imaginable. Thankfully, I don't have to work during this exasperating time. I've lost 17 pounds so far because of the nausea and vomiting that I deal with on a daily basis. Every day I pray for relief and try to maintain faith that it will eventually come. I've tried everything that has been recommended to me by others - nothing has helped the sickness to subside. The Dr. has put me on three different types of medications, trying to find the one that will work for me - only one of them brings about mild, and very temporary, relief. I've even had to be hospitalized once. They say things will ease up by the end of the first trimester - I'm praying so. Some women go through a majority, and even sometimes their entire pregnancy, coping with severe sickness - yet they all say that once the baby is born, all is forgotten. Really?? Forgotten?? I have a pretty good memory!! Ha!
Needless to say, this is why I haven't been tending to this blog daily. Because of how sick I have been, nearly all day (every day), is spent in bed. I can't wait to return to my old self.
Thank you to all of you who have shared in my happiness of becoming a Mrs. and now in my joy of becoming a Mommy!
Wishing all of you a fun-filled and safe 4th of July weekend!
