Hooray
Hooray for feeling better! I just have to write because I know so many of you coming here have heard my prayer requests (and whining) about “morning-sickness.” For the last 3 or 4 consecutive days I have felt much, much better. I must be at the “magic” 12 or 13-week mark in which my hormones start leveling out enough for me to feel pretty normal. I go for my first OB checkup this week (we are planning to have another home-birth), so I should find out a little more about my pregnancy then. If not, no worries. I do know that I have been a little dehydrated; my midwife told me that at our last appointment. It is so so hard to get enough water in when I am chasing around three little ones! I can tell the fog of the first trimester has lifted, though, and that is enough for me.
Eric knows I feel better. I have been cooking and cleaning up a storm. I laugh and tell him that I have over two months of neglected housekeeping that I have to catch up on before something else hits! 
Seriously Lydia went to bed tonight with a red eyelid and some weird drainage, and that can’t be good. Tonight she smashed four fingers in a heavy metal door, and then she knocked out her baby sister who fell backwards hitting her head on the hardwood floor before bedtime. It was not a very restful Sabbath for us or a very fun day for Lydia! Tomorrow will likely be a hard one, so I doubt I’ll be on the computer very much more this week. I also need to do some more personal candidate homework before our primary in SC. I do care very much about this election, and I’m struggling quite a bit with who to support.
Thank you for visiting my corner of the world and praying for me through these hard weeks. I so appreciate your encouragement.
The best part of all of it is that I am much more able to wake up early and spend time with Jesus and my husband in prayer, and that has been so scant in the past several weeks. I feel like a new woman! Actually I am a new woman!

Was Merr-Merr really knocked out? I am very glad that your morning sickness is over. Don’t over do with your cleaning. You need to rest and take it easy when you can. Love you, Grammy
I am so glad you are feeling better. I pray Lydia’s eye will be better soon and her little fingers. Praying that you all have a wonderful week.
Glad you are feeling better. I pray you continue to have good days. Have a wonderful week!
I am glad you are feeling much better. I enjoy reading your blog - perhaps you are going to remain well for the remainder of your pregnancy. Take care!
isn’t it amazing how much different you feel in the 2nd trimester. glad you’ve hit the mark and turned the corner.
and i used a website called mylivesignature to do the signature on my blog. not what i originally thought i’d do but i really like it.
Yay Kristi! I’m so glad you are feeling better. Hopefully, you’ll continue to feel better! Thank you for your sweet messages here lately. I really appreciate them!

Glad you are feeling better, take it easy on all the cleaning you still have the nesting phase coming up.
I am so glad you are feeling better!!!
I am so glad you are feeling better! How old are your children? Where are yall living again? It is so great to see how you are doing here!
Oh my, you all had a hard evening! It was a 911 night at your house, huh?
Glad you are feeling better and even want (want?) to do housework. You MUST be feeling better!
Yes, Brenda! I am back to normal when I want to clean the house - it’s really my favorite thing to do!! I hate washing dishes, but I love dusting, vacuuming, decluttering!! It just gets worse when I’m pregnant!
So glad that you are feeling better! God is good. Here’s to hoping it is the 12 week mark.
Yes, Lori - I think I’m about 13.5 weeks today. It would be really neat if the baby is born on Eric’s birthday in July - it’s very possible!
