Me & Hazel..snapped by Levi
We are preparing to weather this storm called hyperemesis. We started with a trip to Costco to stock up on frozen foods and junk like that as there will be no depending on mama for meals in the next few months. I have my stash of zofran and carrots. I have been mentally bracing myself, but I confess…I’m skeered. I am always chicken until I puke a few times and eventually I get used to it. Last night I was thinking how blessed I am to be taking zofran for such a good reason, rather than cancer or some other horrid thing. I am blessed to have a husband who takes such good care of me. I am keeping my eyes on the prize and so far all is well.
I want to document the amazing belly with this baby number 10. Maybe I will get around to snapping a photo today. 6 weeks is when it really starts popping out and there is no sucking it in. You can see number 8, here and number 9, here.
I think the photo of my baby sleeping on top of my head is precious…reminds me of this photo that Levi took, here.
what an amazing picture!! you should frame this..just beautiful, both of you. Take care and rest.
this is beautiful photo..and a beautiful moment! much better than fixed hair, perfect makeup and ironed dressy clothes 🙂
Great catch by Levi! And good luck with the morning sickness. The one thing I appreciated about morning sickness was that it at least made the pregnancy feel real while waiting for the belly to pop!
congratulations jen! <3
prayers for you during this time, i totally know what hyperemesis feels like and zofran didn’t even work for me… miss you!
This post brings a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes…I know the feeling of being scared..then vomiting becomes all I know…Precious picture!! Praying for you Jen!!
awww love it!
I have to say I am lucky to only have MILD HG compared to you Elisa(and Gina). I am so glad Zofran helps… I wouldn’t have 10 kids if it didn’t!
I adore this photo. You two look so at peace. I truly hope you are able to get through the nasties and enjoy the changes your body is going through. It really makes me miss being pregnant… well, not the first part. But having had a few children, that belly pops out right away and you have an instant reminder of why it’s worth it. Take care of yourself and that sweet little bean.
Sweet, sweet pic! You both look beautiful.
This is such a beautiful picture!
Your Levi must think you are the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. What an adorable photograph.
I haven’t yet told you: many congratulations and blessings on your pregnancy! I really am hoping for an easy one for you this time. XOXO
Love the pic!!! Brandt and Hazel are so alike, he loves sleeping on me, by me, or atleast touching me!!! Praying the time goes by quickly!!
Oh Jen, this is the sweetest picture ever! Hope the months of sickness go quickly for you…although I know how hard it is sometimes to just put one foot in front of the other. Take care and rest lots….it will be worth it all!
aww this is precious! you look so beautiful..your right, keep your eyes on the prize..one more sweet blessing to look forward to..praying for you..hugs!!!
Congratulation on baby #10! Such a blessing!! Just maybe this time around the morning sickness won’t be quite as bad…
It amazes me that you are willing to go through this terrible sickness so many times! I think I would’ve started adopting by now or something…5 was plenty for me and I never even puked!!
I’m not advocating this but…I just read that marijuana is supposed to help…unfortunately not only would you be sick you would also be stoned! Prob not a good idea:)
OH MY GOSH.. CONGRATULATIONS.. I am sorry about the hyperemesis a dear friend of mine just went through that with her first pregnancy… ( all turned out well ) I am so happy for you all.. wonderful wonderful news..
Am I weird or is your Baby 8 picture dated January 6, 2009 and baby 9 dated January 12, 2009? Well, I mean, I know I’m weird, but… you know what I mean. I really do hope you frame this picture!!!
Congratulations!!!!! You are so beautiful pregnant.
I love this picture.
Just checking in… must stop to say that this photo is so precious. Truly! I am wishing you the very best as you get through the next few months. “Growing Greatness” is hard work on a mama… but, you look absolutely beautiful while doing it! xoxo
