Saturday night was just awful. But all along, I said I would be grateful if we ever got to experience this. And so, as much as I loathe being nauseous / throwing up, I am grateful for these symptoms because they are confirmation that we are in fact pregnant! (Wow, still so surreal to say that!) While leaning over the toilet last night, Keal rubbed my back, "Anything I can do?" I shook my head no, looked up at him (probably looking so sickly and pathetic), and said, "I'm so happy we're pregnant!"
And so, we continue on this journey to you, one day at a time. I am so thankful for the patience Keal has had with me and how helpful he has been. Sunday, I ended up being just as sick as last night. We tried going to church, but I have been plastered to my bed all day. Keal has cleaned, done laundry, worked in the yard, tried to get me to eat, you name it, he's done it! And as if this wasn't enough, after doing all the chores, he walked into the living room carrying a vase of flowers, "I may not always buy you flowers, but I can grow them for you," and set beautiful fresh flowers from our yard down in front of me!

Luckily, the nauseousness has calmed down a bit. It's now more of a state of queasiness, which I can handle. The only real downside is I have almost no appetite. But, I'll take that over sleeping on the bathroom floor again! I was trying to be healthy, but it turns out fruits and veggies have me ready to vomit. Sadly, these are about the only things that sound good to me right now:
So, through the vomiting and nausea, through the growing pains of
pregnancy, I thank God for this opportunity He has given us. I thank Him
for giving me a husband to help me through this journey as well. As
much as I am anxiously awaiting meeting you, sweet one, I am excited for
this next part of our journey of just being pregnant. One final
challenge we excitedly and willingly accept until we meet you!
