Right about this time 5 years ago, I was pregnant with Abby, not being able to keep food or water down for 2-3 days, and in the hospital for an IV for dehydration. I thank God every day that I have no sickness to complain of! Every morning before I even get out of bed, I pray that I'll enjoy the day and that no nausea would come upon me. What would we do if God didn't answer prayer? Well I pretty much feel normal, no major complaints. I was craving fruits about 2 weeks ago but that's gone. I have excessive thirst a couple times a day like I haven't drank in 2 days. I drink water and more water until my stomach is full of water yet I still have the feeling that I need to drink more water. Crazy. Other than that, I figured out that I have to eat every 3 hours or else I get dizzy and light headed. I eat breakfast at 7:30am and I'm starving for lunch at almost exactly 10:30. I usually eat breakfast and then eat a small something when I get to work (which is only an hour later), then eat lunch between 11:30 & 12. By 5:00, I can't wait to get home and eat a good dinner. For Valentine's day we went to Olive Garden. Oh my was it good. I can't get over the bread and salad and RANCH and lasagna that I had. Definately my kind of food. This morning me and Abby got up and left for my haircut appointment at 10am. Then we stopped by the bakery across the street because Abby loves for me to take her there to get the cut out cookies they make. So that's her treat every time I get my hair cut. Then we went to Wal Mart to do some grocery shopping and stopped at Payless on the way because it's right next door. They had a buy one - get one half off sale, so I got me and Abby some shoes and a really cute black purse there that I've been wanting. Then we came home and cleaned up, cooked some ham, potato salad (store-bought, you know me), green beans, & rolls. By then I was so tired and wanted to take a nap but there on the couch was 3 loads of clothes to be folded. Billy said he'd help me but somehow neither of us got it done and now I look over and there lays the pile of clothes. I went and got my nails done today. It was relaxing. I just sat there thinking that when I won't feel like bending down over my belly to paint my toes, I can go right down the road and have the nail shop do them for me. Well I have probably 100 receipts that I need to clean out of my purse so I'm going to do that and then go to bed. I didn't mean for this post to be so long. I thought this was just supposed to be about pregnancy. Sheesh!

LOVE the new blog!!! This is all so neat to read. I know you'll savor every moment of this pregnancy. It's such a special time. And don't worry about the weight - you'll have plenty of time to lose it after you have the baby. :-) And the name of the blog is so appropriate! You & the Bean are in our prayers.
I'm SOOO glad you're not sick!! I remember with Bradley I craved water like the rivers were going dry...I think I honestly drank about 2 gallons of water a day. the exact moment I had Bradley the cravings went away.
with bradley also I had horrible heartburn and with amy hardly any (except at the end).
That's sweet you take abby to do special things with her--it will help her to not be jealous if she understands that she always will have special time with you, even after the baby is born!
