Life since the first trimester

I won't complain as much here as I did in my journals, but I was horribly sick this time. Throwing up. Constantly on the verge of throwing up. Food in my mouth every 5 minutes to keep from throwing up. Lying down all but maybe 2-3 hours a day to keep from throwing up (yes, that is less complaining than you'll find in my journal).

Basically the girls ran around wild (sometimes with ikea utensil "guns" in their underwear--who needs boys?), watched tv at least half the day, and only got home cooked meals of ramen noodle soup. At least we could all laugh about the noodle beards they loved to make. So glad that phase is over!

Oh my goodness, those pictures are priceless. I'm sorry you have been so sick! Isn't it great that kids can survive even when a parent is totally out of commission? I hope things improve quickly!

I'm sorry you've been so sick this pregnancy- that's no fun. It's impressive that you've been writing in your journal at all; I've definitely let that one slide with two crying babies. I do love your quadruple bunkbed pins! What a good idea with 4 girls! Can you believe it's another girl? What are the odds:)

Congrats on making it through! And congrats on the girl. I had no idea you were expecting! Out of curiosity, does Adam have a job offer yet? Will you deliver in Bloomington or somewhere else?

Hahah! Laura you are so funny! I am so sorry you've been feeling so terrible this time around! I can totally relate with you with kids running around in their panties trying to kill each other, while mommy feels like she just might die, for weeks on end. You are such a beautiful girl! I am thrilled you are having another little girl! :) So exciting! We are due the same time... I don't know if you knew or not, and another boy for us... This way our kids will be able to marry each other :) Miss and Love You!
