We are still here...

Update time! I am still pretty sick but I have been given medication to help. It does for the most part. I am still very sensitive to smells and that has been a bit of a problem for everyone. There is a limited group of things that I can cook myself with out being sick about it. So far everyone is handling it pretty well though I know we are all ready for me to feel better so that life can be normal again. I really want to be a wife and mother again. Right now it is hit and miss, but I am happy to say that my family is taking very good care of me, especially Brady. He has been amazing through all of this. I can see how tired he is too, but he doesn't complain and he just keeps right on going. Just makes me love him even more than I already do.

The baby is doing just fine. My Doctor is excellent and I am very happy that I was assigned to him. He has just returned from deployment so I don't have to worry about him getting shipped off right in the middle of my pregnancy, and he is very nice and did everything to make me comfortable (well as comfortable as things can be...I'm sure that all you women who have yearly check-ups know how that goes). We got to see the baby and everything looks good. Good strong heart beat and was wiggling around like crazy. The baby was measuring a bit smaller than my dates (a week to be exact) but the Doctor decided to leave my due date as is since I am 100% sure of when my last period was. And a week really isn't that big of a deal since due dates are give or take two weeks anyway. He said we will re-evaluate at my my big ultrasound. I am really looking forward to getting well into my second trimester since that is usually when I feel better. Then I might really enjoy this miracle. :o) I would have picture of the baby to show you but the Doctor couldn't get the machine to print so we will have to wait till next time.

Other than that stuff things have been pretty boring here. Mostly I try really hard to keep the house from getting out of control and the kids busy and happy while I try to feel better. We are looking forward to a visit from grandma and grandpa in a couple of weeks and then a visit to Vegas after that!

Yuck.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have been having the worst morning sickness I have ever had in my life. It is horribly debilitating and I am exhausted on top of that. I am trying to still be a mom to my girls and hoping that everything is fine with the baby. I don't know anything yet because I have yet to see a doctor because the Military is exceptionally slow. I am really hoping that there is only ONE in there. I do have appointments scheduled finally and I am looking forward to getting some relief from these horrible symptoms. If you have been on facebook at all then you know that I have been trying everything under the sun and nothing seems to help for very long. I feel the worst for Brady though. He has been working long days and then picking up the slack at home as well. I know he is exhausted but he hasn't complained once and I am so grateful for him. He has made or picked up dinner every night for the last three weeks. He does laundry, changes sheets, gives baths, plays games, and brings me anything I ask for. I am so very lucky to have him but I really want to get back to doing my job!

Anyway, other than my all day sickness, things here are going well. We have planned a trip home at the end of September to celebrate Rory and Aidric's birthday's together again. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone and staying for a week. As of right now I am flying alone with both girls which could be interesting. They are excellent flyers which is very good. They both love planes and get beyond excited for take offs and landings, but I still have to get all of us in the airport, checked in, through security, and then on the plane by myself. All while getting dirty looks and snide remarks from other passengers for daring to bring two children on a plane with me. Should be super fun. :o)

Well thats all for now. I hope that everyone is having a great summer!
