How can something so joyful be so PAINFUL?

Well it's official...I'm suffering from morning sickness! I have been for the last week and a half. It stinks...it really does. I'm happy that I'm pregnant again and kind of nervous that I'm going to have three 3 and under (I'm still waiting on your survival tips Connie).

I haven't been throwing up nearly as much as I did with Phoebe and Eliott but I'm not so sure that's a good thing. I just feel really really nauseated ALL the time. I have thrown up a few times but I think it would just be better if I did throw up every time I was nauseated. The doc called in two meds for me to take but one of them is for cancer patients going through chemo to take the nausea away so the insurance company will over cover 12...and I'm suppose to be taking them every 6 hours. So I'm just taking those for times I need to feel good.

Like today...I needed to feel good today. Today was Eliott's first birthday!! Wow, he's 1! I can't believe it and oh sooooo cute! We had lots of fun giving him his cake...he was so reserved about it. He was just like "why are you giving me this whole cake, there's no way I'm going to eat it all!" This is his serious face...."what do you expect me to do here?"

Wow, it's been a crazy year but a great one! I totally love my little man. It's sooooo different from having a little girl, they are so opposite! It's really cool to be able to see the big differences. How he's born to know how to take a matchbox car or a truck and wheel it all over the house or how balls are so fascinating but then there's my little princess who loves to just sit and draw, paint, play with playdough or play with her dollhouse. Wow! I am so thankful for both of them!!
I have my first official doctor's appointment on Monday but I think I'm about 8 weeks so due date will be about May, around Phoebe's birthday but hopefully not on Phoebe's birthday!
Well gotta go get my sleep so the morning sickness won't be so bad. I've already begged Denzil to get up with Eliott at his 7 am waking!!
