In Everything Give Thanks!

Feb. 4, 2008

At least I didn't go a month this time!  Life is so busy that it is hard to remember to write, sometimes.  at least I have good intentions, lol.

 

So far, this pregnancy has been much better than the others, at least in the area of morning sickness.  I am almost 10 weeks, and haven't even thrown up once!    I think that is a record.  That doesn't mean I have wanted to, though....  I have felt sick on and off, but I am grateful that it is not constant like some pregnancies.

 

However, I have been SO tired.  I guess that is normal for any pregnant mother with 3 young children.   especially when one of them often wakes up several a night!  Lizzie had been sleeping through the nights at least half the time, and waking up to nurse once on the other nights.  But because of my risk of preterm labor, I have had to wean Lizzie.  That was quite a tramadic event in our house!  Lizzie highly protested, and for a while, I was having to fight with her for an hour to get her to take 1 ounce of milk.  She would fall asleep exhausted, but wake up an hour later because she was hungry.  So, the first few days, I was spending about 14 hours a day just feeding her.  She has finally accepted the bottle, and is getting all she needs now. 

 

But I am finding that we spend about 3 hours a day more than when we were nursing.  Since then, I feel like I have been a step behind on every thing I need to do... Also, Lizzie is now waking up several times every night.  I pray that stage will pass soon.
