Here is the explanation for my lack of blogging lately . . . I'm in survival mode! Who knew being pregnant could be so different the second time around? I haven't cooked dinner in almost 2 weeks, haven't eaten more than 2 bites of a vegetable in a week, and let's not mention what the apartment looks like!
Things I've learned in the past few weeks:
1. I still have to take care of Addie even when I feel horrible-no calling in sick!
2. My views on Addie watching videos have changed-when I feel sick I turn on a video, lay on the couch and let Boz entertain her for while.
3. Sometimes Addie needs to eat even though the thought of food in general makes me want to gag!
4. Who knows what I used to do during Addie's nap . . . now I sleep!
5. My husband is even greater than I thought-he is great at taking care of me when I feel bad and he doesn't even mind that we've eaten out for 2 weeks straight!
We are beyond blessed to be pregnant again and I'd be sick for the next 9 years to have another baby. And it will all be worth it come December!

I totally know this feeling. When I was pregnant with Maddie I would come home from work and take a nap and then wake up for about 2 hours and then go back to bed. Now....Maddie wants to play right when we get home. And your right...even when your feeling bad you still have to take care of the child you have. Just know you have a friend going through the same thing. Hang in there.
I have no idea how you feel, but I definitely feel FOR you. Does that make sense?! Hang in there!! It'll all be worth it when you get to meet that precious little one!! :-)
Ahhh...you will get through it! I am just hitting the 14 week marker and feeling better.
I would change Bella's dirty diapers (she was sick for a few days with the big D) and Im totally gagging over her and she just laughs at me. neat.
I slept alot, gagged alot and just took it a day at a time. You'll get through it!
You only think you're struggling now, just wait until the baby actually gets here! Just kidding. Actually, no I'm not. It's all worth it =)
