The first few weeks of November were especially rough...I was very, very sick and really just overwhelmed and filled with anxiety over being pregnant. I felt like the rug had been pulled out from under me and I couldn't catch my breath. Life just really felt so heavy...the fact that I was only 6 weeks pregnant and already so sick, with what felt like no end in sight, while trying to keep up with 3 very busy kids was so heavy.
For as long as I can remember, my Momma has used the phrase "This too shall pass..." when something is hard. It brings me great peace, because I know it is true...hard things aren't hard forever. Joy comes in the morning! So for now I am just praying that God will give me the energy and ability to make it through one day...one hour...one minute at a time.
Because I know that as the quote below says, "There are people who would love to have my bad days." #perspective
I had to include this picture of Jonah from 4 years ago that came up on my TimeHop this week...I remember taking it like it was yesterday. I was pregnant at that time, with the baby we lost, and extremely sick then too...his sweet little cuddles helped me through that time!
Well he's still cuddling with me & helping me through morning sickness this go-around too!
Okay...if you say so?!
Yes, yes they are!!
Ordered me some puke bags on amazon...so far I haven't had to actually use one, but its good to know I have one tucked in my purse when I'm out and about.
This is my "you CAN do this" face.
Oh, man...I miss that flat tummy! (I'm almost 8 months pregnant as I'm sitting here looking at this picture and it almost makes me cry...) One of these days, it'll come back...I surely hope!
A perfect picture of exactly how I felt...sick...
And this is so true for my life right now...I feel like I'm failing in so many ways...but I know this is just a season and I am doing the best that I can.
