as if morning sickness wasn't bad enough....cue the flu!! jackson and i both seem to have come down with what jim just had. i'm hoping it is as brief as it was for him, too. it has been so awful. yesterday was so bad i thought i was going to end up in the ER. i couldn't keep anything down....not even a tiny sip of water. luckily it turned around sometime during the horrible, seemingly endless night. i was able to keep food down for about five hours.
today i have kept food and liquids down but the nausea is horrendous. in fact, i WISH i could throw up!
the kids left for their father's. jim just dropped them off a little while ago. we won't see them again until Christmas at noon. i feel terrible that this hasn't been a great holiday season because i just lay around sick all the time. so, even though i felt like i was about to lose it, i read from Luke II and the children put the nativity together. after that, the kids opened their sibling gifts. it was a small thing to do, but it made me feel better about them leaving, having done a little something as a family. it's been a long time since we've had family time.
i am excited that 11 weeks is just a few days away! and then just one week more, i can say goodbye to the first trimester. i know i won't be feeling better right away, but i'm happy to see progress.
i'm only happy when i'm asleep! ughh... i sooo can't wait til i can enjoy this pregnancy!!!

You definitely should get a gold star in heaven for enduring horrible pregnancies! Hang in there! Don't be hard on yourself, either. You are an amazing mom and your kids will still be okay.
