Today was hard. I woke up at 5am, spent some time with my husband before he left for work but ended up going back to bed at 6am. My morning was so emotional, I just couldn't do much besides pray and sleep. I woke up feeling nauseous and fighting that same headache. I gave in and spent the day in my room keeping the littles with me, working on school with them while the bigs did their thing.
This transition to a new career/job for my husband is hard. Really hard some days.
Tomorrow we see baby and meet another OB on the team of 6. I'm nervous. Nervous about the u/s. Nervous about meeting the OB and wondering how she'll receive us. I hate feeling like I have to prove myself somehow. I so wish I didn't have all the negative baggage from previous doctors and hospital experiences to taint this pregnancy. Still praying the Lord helps me lay these fears at his feet and leave them there.
ETA: Blogger still isn't giving me access to the comment page so I can respond to the notes being left. Thank you, Angie and Tanya for your encouragement. Tanya, up until my last pregnancy, I always felt amazing while pregnant (after the initial 15-18 weeks of morning sickness wore off.) In fact, I used to feel *better* while pregnant than not. I'm sad that's changed.
