I'm in the UGH phase of pregnancy. I'm sick all day. Nothing I eat agrees with me. If I don't eat, I throw up. If I eat, I throw up. DH is away and won't be back 'til the 5th. My 2 oldest help out a lot but I know it's hard on them as well. The 9-yo and 6-yo are helping too but there's only so much they can do. I'm hesitant to ask for prayers because I'm trying to just offer it all up, but just for tonight I could use a few. Thanks.

oh stef, praying for you. no fun. I also know the emotions of having older kids who are great "helpers" and yet feeling like I did not want to stress them out too much, dh out of town, etc.. during very sick pregnancies.    It is a bonding time, eh??
hang in there.
love,

Stef, my friend.........you have my prayers.....and the offerings of my little crosses are for you, and Jennifer.......and Elizabeth.......and who ever else is feeling puny due to pregnancy!

I KNOW you all KNOW...this is what it is all about: yesterday I was nurse at a beautiful birth.....the mom was beautiful......the babe is beautiful....the daddy......the family....and, she has LOTS of aunts and uncles, five of which were present......as the mom is the 6th of nine children! I am SO excited for you all. I do not cry at many births.......but these aunties were bawling with such happy emotion that even the respiratory therapist and I were getting weepy.

Praying you to the day of your beautiful, happy birth.

With love,

Many thanks, everyone. It felt like a miracle last night when I was able to get up about 30 minutes after posting my request. I was actually able to heat up food and EAT with my youngsters! Thank you SOOOO much. I am also feeling much better this morning.

Praying for those of you going through this with me :) -- misery loves company :D

I'm seeing this late Stef, but adding my prayers for you. I know right where you are ! What a blessing to have older children to help take care of things - still, I understand not wanting to pile too much on their plates.

Offering up for you and others feeling icky with great blessings!
