Ready or not.... Ready or not, here comes morning sickness. I was so sick yesterday and had a terrible headache. I finally told my four kids to get ready, we're going for a walk! We walked a 1/4 of a mile to a convience store, sat down and had Slush Puppies and M&M's. Then we walked another Mile and a half to a McDonalds where they could run around and play. The fresh air did me a lot of good and I started to feel better. This morning I got up at 5am to have a piece of bread so I wouldn't be sick and could go back to sleep. Then I woke up awhile later and got so sick!! What makes it worse is that my son Ryan always gets sick next to me. He's always been this way when I'm pregnant! LOL! I was up from 3am to 5am last night to help Ivy through her fever until it broke so it was one heck of a night. I just cuddled with her and it reminded me how a newborn gets up in the middle of the night, several times! : P That's one part I never get used to. But in the end, it's always worth it. Eventually, they sleep through the night and you get your rest. :)

Tired....again I have less than two weeks to pack and I am tired! I woke up this morning and felt a little queazy. Not much but enough for me to stay away from even my decaf coffee. After I put Ryan on his school bus, I went back to sleep for another couple of hours. I never do that. Usually I'm up at 6:30am and I stay up! I must fight past this tiredness though. I have lots to do to move and very little time to do it in. Charles and I will be spending every hour possible packing until next weekend.

Finally Shared the News Tonight I finally shared the news of the pregnancy with a few people. Only because I'm having a hard time sucking in my gut and some people thought I was just gaining weight! Being it's my fifth baby, my tummy of course shows much quicker than when it was my first. My dad found out because of the little family decals on the back of my van. He noticed there was an extra baby sticker and he asked about it. It was hilarious seeing him try to figure it out! LOL! Then I finally told my mom. A couple of people figured it out because of the stickers also. That is so funny. Well, I am definitely excited. When I had just one or two kids, I never thought I would have five but it doesn't seem as hard as it looks! You get adjusted to each one as they come. Now, it's not to say I can relate to those that have 5 kids in one shot! LOL! They're in a whole new realm! Luckily, I had one at a time, although I've always wished for twins. I am definitely more tired and I have a harder time without naps. I haven't been able to be in church much because of my daughter who has been sick. My friend Mandie understands though!

I know you're there! I can definately feel the baby in my tummy. Not because s/he's moving, I can just feel where it's at in my uterus. This is my fifth child so it's easy to recognize things. I hope that the doctors realize that although I had my period on December 29th, my ovulation skipped ahead a whole week. It was strange! I know exactly when I'm ovulating every single month and I remember thinking, "That's strange, I wasn't supposed to ovulate for another week." I knew I would end up pregnant. Well, sure enough I am! Of course doctors have to go by the period thing so I have to say I'm 4 weeks instead of 5 weeks. : P Oh well.
