I'm so sorry. With my second son I would literally throw up about 15-20 times a day. My son who was about 3 at the time would just stand over my at the toilet rubbing my back and asking why "the new baby hated me".

Do your best. As hard as it will be you WILL get thru this and your family will be more amazing for your sacrifice.

Oh sweetie. What a hard time you are going through right now. But how wonderful that your husband recognized that you needed a break. And how wonderful that you have this outlet for your fears and frustrations.
I can't offer any advice on how to deal with your morning sickness and a little guy. I never had to deal with it. I just hope that it goes away soon and you can enjoy the life growing inside you.

Hang in there, Kiddo. You're PREGNANT!!! You're going to have a BABY!!! Sam is going to be STOKED!!! You and Justin are going to be busy out of your minds but you'll have TWO!!!! KIDS!!!!! I know. Why am I shouting. Be cause I know you can do it, that's why. Just go one day at a time. One HOUR at a time if that's what it takes. Just don't worry about what's ahead of you - just take care of the now.

It's hard enough to be pregnant with a little one when everyone is healthy, so I am sure you are SO drained right now. I remember with my first pregnancy I could pretty much rest and do whatever when I wanted to. It IS so much more challenging when rest isn't much of an option. Hope you are all feeling better soon!

You are going to be fine. Right now you are overwhelmed and tired and feeling like crap. The world is not a good place when you feel like that. When you are stronger, when you are feeling better - you will make a plan and it will work and you will be happy. I know it. Just get through today. Don't think so far ahead. Just get through today.

Liam, my 12 year old, was just diagnosed with H1N1 this afternoon - he doesn't seem as sick as Sam is, but he is 10 years older and doens't need Mom in the same way and can understand that he is "just sick" and "will get better". Concepts like that are hard at Sam's age. Thankfully no one else in our home is sick and I am praying that you don't get sick so you can keep your strength for the little one to grow.

Hugs to you - you WILL be fine. I know it.

Sure you will be okay eventually; you know that, we all know that. Doesn't mean you don't feel like dogshit, emotionally and physically and mentally, right this moment. Take this rest, give in to your tears, and try to sleep for a couple of hours. I think that on top of the pregnancy illness, you are also simply exhausted from Sam being so needy. And sometimes we really and truly need to let someone step in and take over, because we can't-and shouldn't-be everything, all the time, to our kids. We aren't like a non-stop TV channel, on all the time. So breathe deep and ry yourself to sleep if you need to and know in your heart that this will pass. And you will do it simply because at this point, you really have no other choices-and it will be worth it.

Sending up thoughts of love to you, my friend.
