A funny thing happened on the way to chapel today.....

Just as we started to head out a wave of nausea and dizziness hit me. I ran for the bathroom. Zander chased after me. He was making such helpful observations as, "Man, you can run FAST, Mom!" and "I didn't know you could run!"

I made it to the bathroom. I proceeded to do what I had to do...with Zander at my elbow saying "are you going to throw up, Mom?" And...."I just do this (big swallowing gulp) when I feel sick and it goes back in - why don't you do that, Mom?"

I asked Mike and the children to please intercept in the future if I'm running towards a bathroom with Zander or Stacia on my heels.

Six weeks....eating every two hours...no signs of trouble....still having really high highs and moments of lows....

UGH!! I hope this passes quickly for you and that they find out why you keep nearly passing out.

Debbie said...

LOL, what good little helper, Z is! Hope these symptoms pass soon.

Jen said...

I hope they pass soon too. But I am sure it is reassuring to have some pg symptoms! Unpleasant as they are!

Stephanie said...

Just think how helpful Zander will be with HIS wife when she's going morning (or all day!) sickness!

Praying that you are feeling healthy and rested even with the bouts of sickness!

Oh, this is too funny! At least he wasn't repelled by it all or terribly worried about you. :) What a good little (inquisitive) companion. ha!

Sis:

I never had anyone who wanted to go with me to the bathroom. However I had very little problem with morning sickness. What a gem you have in Alexander.

Yep - it's good to be sick. Now I simply have to find the energy to continue life while being sick...but it passes....quickly...by 12 - 20 weeks. LOL

I'll be praying that you can keep up with life while in the beginnings of this new adventure. I never could...lol

I'm happy to hear that you're feeling pregnant!

Blessings,

well you wanted to feel a little sick, hope it stays occasional or minor, Enough to reassure but not too much. Zander sounds so helpful. LOL

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

Yes, I did....I could even feel sicker and feel better about this. LOL
