I had an ultrasound this week. They measured the baby and determined that I am 7 weeks along, and am due September 17th. This pregnancy has been interesting so far. I’m still trying to get used to the idea of another baby, but I’m surprised to find that so far, the nausea hasn’t been as bad as last time. My main fear with this pregnancy was that I would be as sick as I was with Amanda: unable to drive without getting carsick, unable to go grocery shopping or cook, needing medication just to keep food down. I really can’t afford to get that sick right now, with two little ones depending on me, especially one with a broken leg!
But God is gracious. I’ve had friends offer to bring meals over or watch the girls, but I’m happy to say that so far, that hasn’t been necessary. I’ve been able to shop, cook, drive, and do everything I need to without getting sick. I have the usual “bottomless pit” feeling of needing to eat constantly (even though nothing sounds good) and I get easily exhausted. But as long as I keep something in my stomach at all times and am not dealing with something especially revolting (like a poppy diaper), I actually have very little queasiness. This is unusual for me, and I’ve been finding myself waiting for the other shoe to drop; expecting to get violently ill any moment. However, I’d be happy if it stayed this way throughout my pregnancy!
