Tons of Change
Wow…here we are. I am prego again. I am 7 weeks along. We moved to Indiana and Micah started a new position as the Worship Pastor at Calvary Baptist Church. A lot has changed and in the midst of all of this…morning sickness has hit. I know many of you know that morning sickness is not a true depiction of the reality. It comes at any time and can last way longer than the morning. Right as we were getting ready to move….I got really sick. I cannot thank my friends from Eden enough for all of the help with packing the house. Then the day after we got to Indiana it got worse. I was nauseated and couldn’t keep anything down. It lasted all day and I was in constant discomfort. Those of you who know me, know that I rarely get sick. I think there is a reason for that…I’m not a very good sick person. And since I rarely get sick, I really hate being sick. Thankfully, I called the doctor’s office and they called in a prescription. The medicine immediately stopped the vomiting. I still get a little nauseated, but now I can keep liquids and food down. I am so grateful for the medicine.
However…even though the nausea has been relieved a little, I had a little scare yesterday. I had some spotting and fear overwhelmed me, but everything seems to be fine. It definitely wasn’t like it was the last time when I miscarried, but there was that same overwhelming emotion that flooded my heart when I realized that something wasn’t quite right. The good news is that it didn’t increase and it stopped. It wasn’t like the last time so the fear has subsided and I feel much better.
I guess it is a blessing to be sick. It reminds me that the baby is still there and doing fine. As miserable as I have been this last week…I keep counting the blessings of this little life inside of me. Although, I am really praying that this “morning sickness” stuff ends after the first trimester. Please God!!!! Tomorrow I have my first doctor’s appointment with my new doctor. I’ll keep you posted!
Courtney, I am praying for you, Micah and baby Mathis. I have 2 daughter-in-laws – both are pregnant, both expecting boys. They have had their share of illness, but one is much worse than the other. She even has to wear a pump so that she gets the Zofran drip continuously. She isn’t vomiting, but is always nauseous. It’s so difficult to know that she isn’t enjoying pregnancy the way I did with my boys. I will continue to pray that God allows you to be well and have a truly joyous pregnancy – also, we need you at choir practice! Love you all, Debbie Wilhelm
