Mar. 21, 2008 - I am SOOOOOO Sick!!!!!
Posted in Mothering in Grace
It's 6:20am and I haven't done my quiet time. I am getting off in a moment to do that. I woke up this morning so sick to my stomach. It's been coming on gradually for the past 2 weeks. Today I hit the mark. The morning sickness has begun!!!!!!! (Yes that was my official announcement!!) I have had varying degrees of morning sickness with all of my babies. I think this one will match my first pregnancy though. I can remember literally running out of my classroom when I pregnant with m first. I was 3 doors from the teachers lounge and the English teacher on my team was pregnant. She understood so if she saw me run by she would step into the hall way to listen to my classroom.
This could be a rough pregnancy. Not only do I have morning sickness this time around, but there could be complication from the neglect of my previous midwife. She recommended last time that I not receive my Rhogam because I didn't tear during the birthing process. I found out much later, of course, that she wasn't licensed and I assume was trying to cover her trail of lies. Blood doesn't mix on the outside where a woman might tear, it mixes on the inside when the placenta separates. She was good enough to know that. She just had a crumby character. I am waiting to get my blood work done next week to find out if I have antibodies or not. I am not sure where we will go from there. I have to make it through my first trimester first. That could be the first (and last) problem with the possible antibodies and the potential for this baby to have A+ blood. (Although my biggest prayer is that God will allow us to have one more little girl. If He hears my heart's desire and she has A- blood like her sisters, then all will be well regardless of the antibodies.) The fact that my symptoms are growing is a good sign so far. But I am not out of the woods yet.
This baby will be our last. Our quiver is full now. I have had people tell me you just know. I knew!! So did Underdog. :) We love our little "big" family but we always felt something was missing. This one was missing. If it's in God's will for this baby to be born healthy at home, we will deliver our last baby sometime in November. And I was praising God for the reprieve from early winter babies. Three winter birthdays within 4 weeks of each other (not including my own) is stressful. It's my pleasure to celebrate my children but it's stressful nonetheless. Now I will have 3 snow (in TX?) babies, 1 spring chicken (she prefers chicken over pig - HA!), and two little pumpkins.
We will find out the sex of the baby this time around. We'll either do it through sonogram OR if there are antibodies, we will need to know the blood type of the baby (I think) to see if there will be any need for further monitoring in the womb. That will mean an amniocentesis. That is a big step for a woman that runs from intervention in pregnancy. But I will do what it takes to protest my baby. I have a tremendous amount of peace about all this right now. My prayers are simple - no antibodies and/or A- blood type for the baby.
I am off to do my quiet time. I finished my apple and my stomach is settled. . . at least until the apple wears off.
Oh, my in-laws are coming to visit today. I am really excited. It's been over a year since we've seen them. They've only seen PeePooh once and they've never met Little Bear. Everyone is excited. JB, BroncoFan, and Schmoo all made welcome signs of some sort to hang up before they get here. We have just a little cleaning to do left in the house. They land at 11:30am this morning.
God Bless and have a wonderful day!!!!!

UGH, I remember the days of all-day sickness. I'll keep you in my prayers for the first trimester to ZOOM past!
Hang in there. I wish El Paso was closer to where to you are. I could help or something.
Love your new look on your blog.
Hugs,

I love having a place on the web to simply write out my thoughts. I am a wife and mother to 5 very special blessings ages 6 months to 8 yod. As I am growing through this season of my life, I hope to share how the Lord is teaching me to live by His daily grace and not by my own strength.
