Tons of Change

September7

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
