Okay, the word is out, the secret is no more and I can stop pretending that I have had a nasty flu bug for the last month. I have been sick as a dog, dropped 15 lbs, confined to bed for now a full 3 weeks, in then out of the hospital to be rehydrated, and the constant diclectin I am taking is still not fully resolving the nausea issue. I must say I did not expect pregnancy to be this debilitating and hear that most don't experience the joys of hyperemesis gravidarum (aka- extreme 'all day' sickness). However, after an ultrasound and blood tests all is looking well for the baby (aka-parasite or Lima Bean).
We are super thrilled (though my enthusiasim is slightly diluted with "the sickness") as we watch my belly begin to grow, anxiously anticipating August 15th when Bean will be joining us.
Thank you to all those well wishers and encouragers as we waited a little longer than some for our family to grow.
