From bad to worse

I finally started to feel like I was getting over my cold yesterday until...(duhn, duhn, duhn!) I woke up this morning feeling my stomach rumbling. I hoped it would pass but around 8:30 this morning I lost it at both ends. Originally we hoped it would be attributable to morning sickness but after another round of it hit this afternoon, we're thinking I have a bug of some sort. I'm trying my best to keep down some Powerade right now. Unfortunately, if I can't keep the liquids down for another few hours, my midwife asked me to go get an IV at the hospital. Ugh, no thanks! So any prayers sent my way would be much appreciated.

It is an incredible blessing to have Justin as my spouse and Madeleine's dad! He has been a tremendous support allowing me to take a nap and he has been Madeleine's primary caregiver all day. I have no idea how single parents do it! I think Justin just started working on the dishes so I should go help or at least cheer him on.

Oh! I hope you feel better, too! Keep that liquid down and take deep breaths. We certainly are lucky to have the great husbands we do...

Feel better Melinda! Stacy just told me the other day that you're expecting again... AND then I found your blog on Carol and Jeremy's, so I'm excited to keep up with the happenings in your world! I took a break from listening in class today so that I could read your entries up to this point! Your daughter is beautiful and looks like shes just so full of personality! I'm glad you and your family are doing well! Miss you! Love, Molly
