what a week

It has been such a hard week for me. I don't have morning sickness at all. I have 24h sickness. I am nauseous 24 hours a day. Apart from that I am extremely tired.
The midwife said I have to always make sure there is something in my stomach. So I got myself lots of crackers. I feel especially bad in the mornings because I go the whole night without food. I force myself to eat a cracker before I get up (I'm so sick of crackers already) but overcoming the night without food takes a lot of hours. By lunchtime I start feeling a little better.

Right now I just want to get these 40 weeks over with. But then again, things won't get easier will they? I can't imagine to ever feel better again. It feels like this is lasting forever. I feel I have to sacrifice so much for this baby. My life is put on hold with this 24h sickness. I so hope the second trimester will be completely different. Can't wait to feel good again.

Heidi

February 27th 2011

The last few weeks have been busy. We finally cleaned out our junkroom and the garage. Carl did most of the heavy lifting. Because.... we found out Heidi's pregnant again. We already had a miscarriage at 8 weeks on February 22nd 2010. So this time around Heidi has to rest a lot more. We're 6 weeks along on July 4th. So it's still a bit of a scary time. We hope this baby is healthy and stays with us. And we'll be relieved once the 12 first weeks are gonna be over with.

We called our first baby girl: Amalia Maria Christianne Jones. Even though she is not with us physically, we feel she's very closeby and she's very much a real part of our lives.

Right now we have the Butikofer's over. They arrived at 1am today. It's great to have family over. Hope the coming week will be fun.
