Week 29

Oh what a rough week it is has been.  The holidays were not so kind to us this year.  First, daughter #1 got a little cold, and then I got it, and then Daddy R got it.  Then, the day before Xmas Daughter #1 started throwing up.  Every 5-10 minutes throwing up.  Poor sweet girl.  It got so bad that we had to take her to the ER at 4am due to dehydration concerns.  Then, a Christmas miracle and she was FINE on Christmas morning.  Not eating very much but happy as could be, no barfing, and enjoying the holiday.  The day after Christmas and the vomiting resumed.  It was crazy that it took a wee little break so our sweet girl could open her presents and play all day.  I was so scared that we would be throwing up next that I went to town with the bleach, changed all the toothbrushes, washed all of the linens.  Our house was spotless.  And I was extra exhausted.  I ended up sleeping one night from 8:30pm to 8:30am.  I don't think I have had that much sleep since my pre-mommy days!  It was amazing!

In other news I am feeling better.  I even ate some cookies and treats over the holiday and did not feel sick!  Perhaps my sugars are evening out.  I also think my weight gain might be slowing down because I haven't gained any more weight.  I had a midwife appointment and they said I am the "picture of health" this pregnancy.  This is crazy to me.  Absolutely insane.  Because healthy is the last thing that I feel.  Baby's head is still down though!  And I had a doula appointment.  Things are going well!  Moving right along! Now, all I want for Christmas is for that placenta to move out of the way....Christmas wish please come true because I think I deserve the "good list" this year!
