I signed up long ago but had not been on in a couple of weeks so I lost all of my information. I did not have much so it was no big deal to me. I figure now I should write a little something about myself and my pregnancy. Lord knows that if anyone asks me how I am doing I always have complaints about being pregnant in which I shouldn't but I am human.

Right now I am in my 24th week of pregnancy. We are having a girl and she is mine and my husbands first child. These past 5 1/2 months have been like a long rollercoaster ride that is still continuing and I want so badly to get off. I have had morning sickness from week 4. By week 7 it was inbearable. I cried a lot because I was so nauseated and I threw up 3 - 5 times a day if not more. I had to cover my nose each time I went to the bathroom because I could not take the smell of my own urine. By week 16 I felt so much better but I still continue to have morning sickness and I get nauseated. Now I have the dreadful hearburn. Let's hope that the medication my doctor prescibed works. I am sure it will since I have not had "an attack" today. Let me tell you it's freaking hard to say no to those juices and fruits that I love, orange and grapefruit. I think maybe now I can eat the fruit. I'll attempt it tomorrow, it's too late now.

I just bought my baby her first ornament. I found it at Hallmark, it's a stork holding a sack. It's so cute. My mother-in-law already sent gifts for the baby. I was so excited when I opened the package today. She lives in CT and I live in TX so I know it's hard for her not to be here for this baby. She calls weekly to find out how I am doing and with me being so sick it was great to know she cared. She even sent the baby a bib that says "I Love My Daddy" and daddy was sure excited to see it.
