Entry #7

Sorry to all my weekly readers. It's been a busy weekend. Well this past Friday was my 11th week. The pregnancy is going really well so far. My morning sickness has mostly gone away and luckily I haven't thrown up at all. As long as I keep food in me every few hours the nausea stays away. I'm still really tired and I'm sure that's not going to get any better anytime soon. Or maybe for the rest of my life for that matter. But that's the price you pay when having children. And it's all worth it. The past month or so I've been getting really weird cravings. Like for lemonade and pickles. One day I wanted and Oreo shake and an egg roll. I don't know. I didn't have this with Lucas. Well actually with Lucas I just wanted to eat sweets all the time. This pregnancy I'm not eating much sweets nor much junk food. I've mostly been craving healthy foods or just plain old weird stuff. So I guess if I'm going to crave something thank god it's healthy food. I can't complain about that. I'm really looking forward to my ultrasound on April 21st. I don't think that day could come soon enough. I just want to make sure that the baby is healthy and growing well. It's drives me nuts not being able to know what's going on in there. But once I see that ultrasound and the nurse tells me that the baby looks good my mind will be at peace.

Mike hurt himself at work on Saturday. He usually doesn't work Saturdays but went in to get some over time. Sometimes during breaks all the guys play a game of horse. Well I guess Mike went to do a lay-up and landed on his leg the wrong way and did something to his knee. He can't walk or put any kind of pressure on his leg. So he's hopping all around the house. Since he can't get around so well he's going to be missing out on some work with no pay for awhile until he can get to his chiropractor to figure out what's wrong and hopefully be able to get him better soon. It's been a rough 2 days so far. I've mostly had to keep up with everything around here myself and not only take care of Lucas but now also take care of Mike. And of course being pregnant really makes it difficult. So we need prayers to get Mike better. I need him healthy!!

Something I'm really looking forward to starting in June is that I'm changing my work schedule so that I only have to work 4 hours a day from 4 to 8 pm Monday through Friday. I'm so excited!! Mike will be able to get more sleep during the day, I'll be able to get in a good nap before I have to go to work, and I'll be able to be with lucas more and have more time to do things around the house.
