The title pretty well sums up my week. I'm approaching the end of my first trimester (yay), and I can tell that I'm showing just a little.
Tuesday I substitute taught for one of my favorite children! She home schools, and I absolutely love seeing how she's learned. By the time I reached home, however, I felt achy and tired. Later that evening I was running a fever and the sickness began...whatever it was. I slept reclined in the living room for three nights running a low fever, sore throat, sneezing, and coughing, aching...the typical "crud."
Weeks like this one make me more thankful to be married to Nathan. His mom tells me he's a difficult patient (lol...I've never seen him sick), but he is an amazing nurse! He's also a pretty good chef. I think I drank about 12 orange juice slushies.
-About 1 cup of ice +
-About 1 1/2 cups of orange juice +
-3 peeled clementines +
-4 four strawberries +
-Mixed in the blender
= Delicious!
I think I might make one when I finish writing. :)
Wednesday in the midst of my little illness, Nathan and I got to hear one of the most amazing sounds God created: Baby's heartbeat. The doctor reassured me that my fever wasn't high enough to do any harm.
Friday my parents came for a little Christmas get together. My fever was gone by Friday morning, and I was able to open the windows and let the warm December breeze air out the living room while I disinfected the house. It was such a pretty day that I actually made another slushy and sat outside in the sunshine just for fun.
My mom brought my favorite soup: chicken and vegetable. Friday night we exchanged gifts. Well I'm excited to announce that I we now have a very nice, very new camcorder! Thank you Mama and Daddy!!! They gave us this special gift just in time for Baby. My mom made a good suggestion that I need to make sure and film family now so that our children can see what everyone looked like way back when...
So,
Thompson family: get ready for me to obnoxiously record The Twelve Days of Christmas
McCartha family: get ready for me to record Mamaw and Papaw opening their memory books!
Lauren: I will be recording you extensively. We'll make sure Baby knows her aunt via Skype and home videos. Just think our kids will think they're picking up a celebrity at the airport in December after watching you on TV all year!
Your blobs make me laugh and cry...all because I love and feel so far away. I can't believe we are having a baby! Hahaha "we".. Did u like that?! Oh I can't wait. Oh. Oh.
ReplyDelete*blogs* I mean.. Darn auto type!!
ReplyDeleteso glad you're feeling better, Katherine!! And I am amazed that you have never seen Nathan sick. Scott seems to get sick every time the kids do, but I usually don't get what they have. I think God must strengthen a mom's immune system because if mom is down the whole house is down ;) Can't wait to see you soon and see that little baby bump. Are ya'll finding out the sex of the baby?
ReplyDeleteDefinately finding out boy or girl! I have to wait until February!!!
