i will be 13 weeks tomorrow. hard to believe that next week i’ll be in my second trimester, huh?!
i am feeling better some ways, but in others i’m worse! zofran causes constipation, and i am having major bowel problems. i hate the feeling i have! sorry if tmi.

you know, i get so annoyed when i go to my friends’ sites and they haven’t updated in a few days. but then what do i do? just rest on my laurels and think an appointment account will hold you off for a week?! how rude is that?

jeremiah had his 1 year appt. today.
weight: 22lbs 1oz
height: 29 3/4in
head: 46.6cm

i’m 12 weeks pregnant with bean. i have been doing ‘tp tuesday’, in which i measure my waist with tp squares every week. week 10 and 11 i was 11 squares. today i am 10 squares. cheryl said it’s probably because bean moved. i hope so.

first of all, we didn’t make it to church. not only was the weather bad, i was feeling terrible. i didn’t even get up until 11. thankfully jerry could take care of jeremiah a bit for me.

In Memory of Me
-Jennifer Case Gigowski

In memory of me, fight for what you believe in.

Remember the dreams I could dream and the joy I should feel.

Remember my innocence and pray that a better day will come for me.

Think of the millions like me who are waiting for their dreams.

Pray for the women who should nurture us, not hate us.

For we are unwanted prisoners in our mothers’ wombs, in a world unwelcome to us.

Where no dreams can be made, and for me and those like me, all we have lies in your support and prayers.

Don’t let those prayers go unheard.

Time is so precious to us.

Let them know we deserve to live.

Please be our voice.

Please let them know our plight.

For you, with your hope in the Lord, are our only hope.

today is sanctity of human life sunday. please do your part. pray. speak. be the voice that can be heard.
party went fine. photos and details up tomorrow sometime.

my friend leesa, who had her baby in august, had 6 zofran pills left. she lovingly, out of the beautiful kindness in her sweet, big heart, sent her sweet hubby over to my house to deliver these 6 miracle pills. i took one at two and have not felt better since finding out i was pregnant (because that day i was high on the thrill!).

i feel HORRIBLE. it’s official. it’s morning sickness. only it’s last-all-day-until-i-want-to-die-sickness. morning sickness would be too kind.
i finally got the dr to prescribe zofran for me. you know, the miracle drug that helped me through jeremiah’s pregnancy? well, with our new insurance, our copay for it is 75 bucks. 75 bucks people for 20 pills!!!! so i can’t have any of my healing medicine. i have to cope and try something else.
what can i do??? i am vomiting and feeling like i’m going to vomit when i’m not vomiting. i am miserable and my son and house are suffering for it.
please pray for me. i don’t know what i’ll do if this doesn’t end by the second trimester.
dear bean,
i love you so much and am so happy about you, but please forgive mama for feeling miserable.

my son, jeremiah thomas gigowski, is one today. i can’t believe it.

jeremiah was due. 1 and 2. most of you remember the ordeal! but for newbies, read and relive my tears.
jeremiah’s 7th tooth popped in on saturday the 15th. it’s the bottom left. i guess it’s an insicor?
i can’t believe he’ll be one tomorrow…sigh.
i am feeling better off and on. one minute i feel like hurling, the next i feel ok. i have not felt GREAT in a while tho. please continue to pray for me. and pray for poor jerry. what a burden he’s taking upon himself. with me being mostly out of commission, he’s taking so much responsibility around here, along with his two jobs. he is such a wonderful husband. have i given him his props lately? because i don’t know what i’d do without him. i love you, bear!!!!
i just have to say welcome back rebekah. i have missed you SO MUCH and am looking forward to hear what’s going on and how you’re doing.
that’s all i can handle for now.
