I'm experiencing some pretty significant fatigue and illness with this little one. The cramping is more intense, but I've been assured that it is merely my uterus re-positioning and growing.

I'm so glad that I decided to take some time off, because I've been spending a good deal of it sleeping. I've also been losing weight (not a bad thing on any other ocassion) from the nausea.

May I have your prayers for the strength and stamina to get to 14 weeks with a modicum of grace? I'm at 9/10 now. Four to five weeks feels like an awfully long time right now.

I go in for another U/S and check-up on July 2, and looking forward to seeing the little culprit, I mean sweetie.

Blessings,

I'm two weeks ahead of you, Nissa...and I feel the same way. Offering my nausea for you! Hang in there! My next appt. is this Thursday and I am hoping that we will be able to hear the heartbeat...I have been so sick that I feel confident that our little one is growing but still...I worry!

Many prayers coming...

Praying, Nissa. I will keep you in my daily prayers. I know too well how nausea can be difficult during pregnancy. Blessings to you and your family!
