Despite my good intentions I am down. My life consists of days on the couch and evenings in bed amidst empty Zofran wrappers, spit cups & other sick people paraphernalia. I am merely a womb. I sit here and do nothing but grow this baby.
As I sit in bed watching the fog glide through Windy Ridge changing the opacity of my view I realize that I am lucky. If I take 3 Zofran a day, eat every 15 minutes and lay partially upright turning neither left nor right I can keep from vomiting until the evening. I know some of you are not so lucky, like Elisa.
Fellow HG sufferers, what is it about laying on our side that makes us vomit? After I somehow fall asleep using my furious foot wagging and moaning techniques, my HG falls asleep too. There is a magical time in the middle of the night that I can actually lay on my right side. How glorious.
To top it all off, my baby Violet is sick. This too shall pass…
PS-We did get our flooring but won’t be moving in until the floor is installed and finished. Levi & brother Ben are working on that. It is going to be absolutely beautiful.
🙁 Aw, I can’t imagine. Poor thing. If I was closer I’d drop by to try to distract you from your misery. Not that it would help, but I’d sure try!
Hoping it eases up for you. And Violet too soon!
You poor darling…I am praying for you…
Oh…I feel so bad for you. You bring back such momories of when I was pregnant. I can so relate to the foot wagging and the moaning techniques and poor Violet. Hang in there. How glorious spring will be!! ~amy
i’m so sorry! praying for you!!
Oh wow Jen, I was afraid you weren’t feeling well when you hadn’t been on in a while. I hope this passes soon!!! Also healthy vibes being sent you and your families way, poor Violet!!
Aww…Jen,I am soo sorry you are feeling so yucky…..Glad you are able to not throw up until evening tho and that you are able to eat some…hope you are able to keep fluids in??:)..I think of you often and I am praying…hang in there..this too shall pass……Also Praying Violet is feeling better soon!!
praying for you… hope violet feels better too.
Reading this brings me right back to the first couple of months of my pregnancies (I’m hoping yours doesn’t last much longer than that!)…during that time I always said that i would way rather have horrible labor pain that lasted for a couple of days instead of the horrible vomiting that goes on for weeks…that constant gagging and vomiting is the worst…especially when you have other kiddos to tend to. None of these comments on here will ease your discomfort, but at least you will know that you are not alone!!! Like it’s been said before…this too shall pass…God has an incredible little miracle growing inside of you!!!
keep your chin up…you poor baby, I am sorry!
Oh boy, hope you’re feeling better soon!!
*hugs!!!*
If you need anything let me know!!!
I am so sending you a well needed “pick up”! It’s going in the mail tomorrow.
That’s what friends are for….
xxoo
Sorry you are feeling so sick. Praying it will get better soon. Hope your poor baby Violet feels better soon too.
I just have to add…you look just like Mom in this picture:)Praying!!!!!
Oh, you poor thing! I’m so sorry that you are doing so badly. I remember being so completely miserable with Layla so I can imagine what you’re going through. I wish I lived closer and could come be of some help. I’m thinking of you and praying for some relief for you, little Violet too. ((Hugs))
I’m sorry you’re so miserable 🙁 I was wondering how you’ve been doing when I didn’t see new posts lately-glad you can get a little rest.
It certainly helps us value and appreciate our children since we don’t make them just like that. That must be one reason why we take such tender care of them. They are of such great value and so are you. 🙂 I pray that you will feel better quickly. Things will get better!
awww Jen..I hope the symptoms getting better for you soon. I have seven little peepers myself and when mama’s sick, it makes for a rough day or several rough months from the sound of it 🙁 Hang in there!

Aw Jen!
I feel so bad for you..
Even talking to you on the phone I can hear how miserable you are. 🙁
I hope that you feel better soon!!!
xoxoxo
Well your a better person then me!I really don’t think I could have been able to do that 9 times! I will keep you in my prayers.
oh poor jen, you are such a pretty sick pregnant girl though
hugs
Jen!! I’m praying you get over this soon! I feel for you..I know exactly what is like and its not fun!! God be with you:)
I hope you feel better. Even though you feel awful you still look adorable in that pic!
You look sooooo tired I hope you feel better soon:) Love,
Cambree Shae:)
and you still look gorgeous!
I feel for you. I am feeling the same on number 4 and only have two months to go. That is how I got addicted to you blog. All I could do is sit and let the kids play around me. I thought I wish I could be you. You must never get sick etc. with 8 kids it must come so easy for you.
I even respect you more knowing you have done this 9 times and get sick.
My question to our bodies is shouldn’t it get easier on us baking babies not harder.
I am always amazed that I seem to forget all of this and get soooo excited to do it again. Good thing I am going on 39. This should be all for this family.
OH Jen, I feel for you! I remember all too well, rolling back and forth in bed, changing positions, moaning, begging and pleading to just fall asleep so I wouldn’t feel sick anymore. (That or have someone knock me on the head to unconsciousness..haha) I hope you feel better soon!!!..and little Violet also. It’s no fun to see our kids sick, especially when we feel like poo ourselves 🙂 You are right though, this too shall pass. Hang in there.
poor thing..so sorry you are feeling so awful..you look beautiful even when you don’t feel well…
