Feeling like crap...

I told you guys it would start. My actual first pregnancy symptom was smell sensitivity. I wanted to throw up when my kids ordered spaghetti at a restaurant. That is really continuing. Even the thought of most food is churning my stomach.

The sea bands haven't been located yet, although I've not actually made good on my nausea if you know what I mean. Some days I think it would be better to just throw up and get it over with! Although it doesn't work that way.

I'm exhausted and trying to walk, but not really wanting to do it. Isaac is a big kid to carry around, particularly since he hurt his foot.

Although in the midst of it all I look down and think, "There's a wonderful baby growing inside my body!" I'm always amazed at this miracle no matter how many times I see it. It's such a privilege to be able to experience this...
