Sweet Nutin”
Well, I thought I’d post a quick update.
Tired(that’s a given – no more said about that)
Sick(even on meds – I have to talk to the doctor about that – it’s hard)
Jon took the kids to school today(so I got up at 7am with everyone and went back to bed at 8am when they left)
As a result of the above – I slept in until 10:30am and then stressed out because I wasn’t vomiting or dry heaving when I ssssssllllllloooooowwwwwlllllllyyyyy got out of bed. Maybe that’s my problem – I need a note from the doctor that says that I HAVE to stay in bed until at least 10:30am every morning and then not be bothered by little children or husbands.
Didn’t worry too long as I started feeling sick again by lunchtime. Then I was annoyed! I just can’t be pleased, can I?
Picked up all 4 kids after school and then went to the dollar store to pick up some poster board for a school project for Jun.
I was very proud of myself for taking all 4 kids to a store ALL BY MYSELF. I don’t usually do that kind of stuff. In the past is would have stressed me out, but now that I am all therapied up – I AM WONDER WOMAN!
Came home, and Jon and I discussed dinner – we really didn’t feel like makeing a mess tonight, and as neither of us wanted nachos – Jon decided to order pizza. Yah for NO-MESS-FRIDAYS!
Now we are just waiting for him to bring home the the yummy goodness of dinner, and then………well, I have no idea. Haven’t gotten that far. Jun is going out with one of the other homestay families to the public skate. I’m trying to keep that a secret ’cause if the kids find out(particularly Geli) then we will never hear the end of it, and I don’t feel like being alone while Jon takes the kids, and I also don’t feel like trying to squish my feet into my nasty skates.
Oh, and I’m FAT! Looked in the mirror this morning maybe closer to afternoon when I got out of the shower. No worries – I was dressed – just for those of you with vivid imaginations! My arms are fat! I’m really not thrilled, and am just trying to focus on how happy I am to be pregnant. I CAN lose the weight later.
I’m also trying really hard to not think about how can I possibly make it through the summer with out people seeing my fat arms. I can’t imagine wearing no sleeve tops, but I’m also a little worried about the whole pregnant lady furnace thing that usually happens, and will be in effect for me during those fabulous months of summer. Oh well – FOCUS ON THE GOAL! I will have a baby, and I can lose the weight.
I’m not TRYING to gain a million pounds with this pregnancy, but I’m also not killing myself if I want a bite of ice cream. Not the whole container, but a bite. Not small bites every 5 minutes 20 hours of the day. I’m trying………Oh well – THE GOAL – KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON THE GOAL. I’m trying!!!!!!

When I was pregnant with child # 2 (our only daughter) I used to go through McDonald’s on our way to Taco Bell. I loved to eat and I didn’t care about the pounds I was putting on. That’s the fun of being pregnant. I gained 50 pounds with each and every kid and I have 4 kids!!

During this time, where you are finding yourself more down than up, more sick than not – remember the promises on healing given to us in the Word. One of God’s names is Jehovah Rapha – Your Lord The Healer, (Ex. 15:26)it is a part of His character.
Psalm 103
Praise the LORD, I tell myself;with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
Praise the LORD, I tell myself, and never forget the good things he does for me.
He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.
Matthew 4:23b, “…And he healed people who had every kind of sickness and disease.”
Matthew 8:17, “This fulfilled the word of the Lord through Isaiah, who said, “He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.”
God wants you well! Even from sickness due to pregnancy…
