Sundays are not good days

Published on June 29, 2003

jerry thinks it’s spiritual warfare or something. i can feel great (as good as i can feel) all week, then BOOM on sundays i vomit and have major problems….
jerry dragged me to church anyway today, and i’m glad he did, even though i felt horrible the whole time. it was great to see people again though. i haven’t been all month.


My Hubby is the BEST

Published on June 23, 2003

well guess what my sweetie did for me this weekend?
he bought one of those pools, the 15×30 inch ones, and set it up for me. it’s all filled and ready to go. since i don’t have to go into work until 130 today, i’m going to go give it a try!!!! he is soooo sweet to me.


Disappointed

Published on June 19, 2003

well i didn’t find out ANYTHING! i’m so disappointed…they tried for a heartbeat but couldn’t get it. i’m going for an ultrasound in a few weeks, on june 30. the dr was really really nice. but when we told him we WANTED twins, he said, ‘no, no you don’t.’ we said, ‘yes, yes we do.’


First REAL Dr Visit

Published on June 18, 2003

today we are going to meet the obgyn and see if he’s who we’ll stay with. the nurse had told us he’s wonderful, but we have to see for ourselves.
i don’t know if it’s too early to do our first ultrasound or not, but i’m hoping they do one. i want to know really how far along i am. and also i would like to know if there are two babies or one. ;)
today is our dog kc’s third birthday! he is still our little pumpkin, and our first child. we are so thankful for him!!! if you’d like to see his site, which hasn’t been updated in ages, click here. his blog is all messed up so it’s not even worth viewing. ;)
well pray for us if you think of us! :) love and hugs,
jenn, jerry and baby (ies)


Scare today

Published on June 16, 2003

i went to the hospital today. my dr was concerned that with all the vomiting i’ve been doing, i might be dehydrated…i’ve still been throwing up once every hour or so all morning, up until one or two in the pm. so since i tried the phenergen (not pergonal! LOL i’m a dork) and it didn’t work for me, in fact it made it worse, the dr was concerned and sent me straight to the emergency room. i was there quite a bit, and on the drip for over an hour, then i had to wait around to see if the medicine did it’s work and i didn’t throw up again. well, it worked. it was strange how well i could feel it coming over my tummy, making it feel calmer. the dr prescribed pills of the same med for me, which are 25 bucks a pill!!! thank the Lord for insurance. i hope it works - i will try it tomorrow. the medicine is actually what they use for cancer patients during chemotherapy. it’s totally safe for the baby, otherwise i would never consider taking it.
after that i went to work until six.
it was a loooooongggg day. i’m off to bed now! love and hugs all! :)

Happy Father’s Day

Published on June 15, 2003

to my husband, father and grandpa. unfortunately i am feeling horrible today, so we didn’t make it to church. oh, i did try the pergonal suppository yesterday, and it made me feel even worse. i was feeling nauseas non-stop, instead of off and on like normal, and i also threw up a lot more. so i’m not trying that again. i will be calling the nurse again tomorrow to see if there is anything else i can try.
other news: my friend had her baby! she was about two weeks early. but a nice size, totally healthy. she had her all by herself - the midwife didn’t get there in time! she is their second daughter. my friend thought it would be a boy because she carried her differently, and she was bigger, etc. but, no, a girl! what a nice father’s day gift! ;)
jerry is out planting a blueberry bush. next we’ll buy a raspberry bush - i love raspberries, but they didn’t have any rasp. bushes at meijer when we went there.
so what do you think about the new layout? i’ve been working on it off and on when i feel ok. i think it’s so adorable, and so true - our baby is coming straight from the Lord in Heaven. :)
i hope everyone is having a great day.
love and hugs,
jenn


Same old, same old

Published on June 13, 2003

well my hours are still up in the air. on monday i’ll be working at 11. which is a little better than 10 but not much. yesterday and today were the WORST for morning sickness. i know it’s the same old thing…but WHEN will it end?!?! argh! it feels that i can’t even enjoy the pregnancy. i’m SOOOO praying the morning sickness will be over soon.
i go to the obgyn on wednesday. i’m wondering how it will go! i’m actually looking forward to it. :) i’m sure it’s way too soon for an ultrasound, but still.
well, i really miss seeing everyone around here. i wonder if everyone is scared away because of the mean people….
love,
jenn


PRAYER PLEASE

Published on June 11, 2003

my sister is missing. she ran away from work last night and no one has seen her since five pm yesterday. there is a history i won’t go into, but she is sixteen, but not a normal sixteen year old. still, she has never done anything like this before. the sheriff is already looking for her, and my brother and father looked all night for her. please pray for her, that she will be safe and not do anything stupid. please pray that we will find her soon.

UPDATE: just wanted to let everyone know that she is safe and sound. she was hiding out in a barn at her work. thanks for the prayers.

thanks,
jenn


Trying to Get New Medicine

Published on June 10, 2003

well i’m waiting for a callback from the triage (special name for nurse) who will hopefully call in some new nausea medicine for me…i already have a medicine that i take at night for it, but it doesn’t last long. actually, early early this morning, when i woke up to use the restroom, my tummy was going bonkers, so it wears off sooner than i thought it did. but i really need something anyway for the rest of the day. i can’t keep anything down before 1, and sometimes even a little after that is pushing it. i’m going to buy some of those preggo pops to see if they help at all.
any thoughts about what i should get the papa to be for father’s day??? i have been looking around when i can (which hasn’t been often) and i can’t even find a decent father-to-be card. any ideas will be great! ;) for some reason my usual creative nature isn’t kicking in. i actually have a good idea, but i can’t use it because i don’t have any pictures of him with his mom as a child. pretty sad, but there aren’t many pictures of him at all as a child. :(
well, sitting here for too long makes me nauseas all over again, so i need to go lie down for a while.
love and hugs!
jenn and baby
