I have not looked forward to a weekend so much in a really long time. Steph's morning sickness, house searching, track coaching, and teaching all but exhausted my free time this last week.
"Morning" sickness my butt. Steph has been battling nausea all day and night for the past three nights. She has been able to keep down very little more than Graham crackers, water, and her pre-natal. Her constant puking was what troubled me the most. It kept her from eating and kept me up at night.
Seeing my wife in such a state brought me down emotionally for the entire week. I was worried for her health and the health of the baby. She is normally my main source of joy. Jumping through loops to get to a doctor in the giant Methodist Hospital system is a pain too. Is this how people become alcoholics?
First house walk through started this week. We saw three. First one was a little small. Second one not a bad option overall. Third one was amazing except the listing agent left out some extras on the MLS sheet (large kitchen, large lot, pool deck, bidet, and over 1,000 square feet of wet moldy basement). I hope I didn't contract mycosis in the time I was down there. The search goes on.
I will end this on a happy note. Steph is feeling much better and the vomiting has stopped. She is up and more herself. My mood has improved as a result too. We are entertaining my sister and her friend this weekend. Things are looking up, the Lord gets the praise.
We are praising the Lord, too! I'm so glad she's not miserable anymore. Very ironic that you're blogging about vomit. I remember holding you for the first time in the delivery room. I examined your precious red face...and then threw up. Daddy wasn't there yet, so Grandma Yoder got to hold you in the first minutes of your life!
