Early pregnancy for me is not the most glamorous time in my life.
For the last, oh… six weeks I haven’t really left my house other than to drop Harlo off at school and pick her back up. Maybe snagging lunch with Mr. Miller that I go home and try earnestly to keep down. I lounge a lot, and don’t clean very much. On my best, best, best days I put together an easy dinner for my family. I think the hardest part about being pregnant for me is not even the being sick part, it’s just not feeling up to doing my normal daily things. I know this time will pass though, I’ve had glimpses of my normal life scattered throughout the last couple weeks. I’ll get back there soon, I just need to be patient with myself and patient with my body.
Last friday after school, I took the girls to get ice cream cones. We brought them home and ate them on the porch. It was a beautiful day and we had talks and giggles a plenty while we sat under our porch covering while it sprinkled onto our toes. My girls are the best. When I get down on myself for feeling like I”m not a fun mom, they’re there just loving me all the while. With an ice cream in hand, they still think I’m the funnest mom around.

This pregnancy I was miserable the first 17 weeks, so I know how you feel. I only have 3 1/2 left now, yay! Hope you are feeling normalish soon : ) I just started the nesting which has been great because my home was neglected for like 7 months this time. I also have two little girls already so it makes it tougher. Good luck, I’m sure your girls still think you are an awesome Mom! Especially after ice cream : ) That makes everything better!

I think there will be lots of ice cream cones to make up for life in the upcoming weeks.. this sickness will just not back down! I’m so glad to know I’m not alone. Congrats on another sweet babe! So glad you’re feeling better now, and getting so close!!
