PREGNANCY AND A SICK KIDDO!

SO, THIS TIME AROUND PREGNANCY HAS BEEN KICKING MY TRASH. BESIDES, CATCHING RANDOM COLDS AND FLUS HERE AND THERE, SINCE FINDING OUT I WAS PREGO, AT ABOUT 6 WEEKS. I HAVE BEEN NAUSEATED DAY AND NIGHT. SOMETIMES WORSE THEN OTHERS, BUT IT SEEMS CONSTANT. I HAD NOTHING LIKE THIS WITH HALLE AND SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THE SAME...NOT SO MUCH! I REALLY HAVEN'T BEEN MISERABLE BUT I JUST HAVEN'T FELT GOOD FOR MANY WEEKS NOW. MY 2ND TRI BEGINS THIS THURS AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL SUBSIDE...OTHER THAN THAT, PREGNANCY ROCKS...BUT, NAUSEA WILL ALWAYS STINK, RIGHT? THEN THIS PAST WEDNESDAY WAS UNPLEASANT TO SAY THE LEAST. HALLE AND I STARTED OFF THE DAY BY DOING OUR USUAL STUFF AROUND THE HOUSE AND THEN HEADED TO MY MOMS WORK TO TAKE HER SOME HOMEMADE COOKIES. WHILE WE WERE THERE, SHE PLAYED WITH ALL THE GIRLS AT HER WORK AND RAN AROUND CRAZY. AFTER THAT, WE WENT TO WALMART TO STOCK UP ON GROCERIES, AND SHE GOT A BIT ONRY NOT TO LONG INTO IT. I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST GETTING SICK OF THE CART SO I LET HER OUT TO RUN FOR A MINUTE BEFORE DRAGGING HER BACK IN IT. THEN SHE KEPT SAYING HER MOUTH HURT BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING IN IT. WE KEPT SHOPPING FAST TO GET DONE AND GET OUT OF THERE AND SHE GOT MORE ONRY AS TIME WENT ON. FINALLY IN THE CHECK OUT LINE ALMOST DONE CHECKING OUT AND SHE STARTS VOMITING OUT OF NOWHERE...AND IT WAS A TON OF VOMIT. WHILE TRYING TO CATCH IT IN MY HANDS, TAKING HER CLOTHES OFF, GETTING MY BAGS, AND PAYING....IT WAS A DISASTER. IT WAS EVERYWHERE AND IT WAS MORTIFYING AND SHE STARTED CRYING AND SAID SORRY MOM, I SORRY. SHE WAS SCARED TO DEATH. WE GOT HER OUT TO THE CAR AND UNPACKED THE SHOPPING CART AS FAST AS POSSIBLE JUST TO GET HOME. HALLE USUALLY VOMITS ONCE IF SOMETHING GOES DOWN DOESN'T SETTLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT NEVER MORE THAN ONCE. SO I WAS HOPING THAT WAS THE DEAL. WE GOT HOME AND SPENT THE NEXT 4.5 HOURS TRYING TO CATCH VOMIT, LAYING, ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR SO IF SHE MISSED IT WENT ON HARDWOOD, NOT CARPET. DRINKING PEDIALYTE, AND LAUNDRY FROM WHEN WE HAD TO CLEAN UP VOMIT....IT WAS HORRIBLE. I FELT SO BAD THAT SHE WAS SO SICK AND IT HIT OUT OF NOWHERE. SHE ACTUALLY THREW UP 9 TIMES IN THOSE 4.5 HOURS-HOWEVER, RIGHT BEFORE SHE THREW UP, SHE WOULD SAY HER MOUTH HURT SO I COULD GET HER SOMEWHERE TO DO IT INSTEAD OF ON A BED, OR THE CARPET, WHICH LEFT LITTLE MESSES, JUST LOTS OF LAUNDRY IN THE TOWEL DEPT....THEN AFTER THOSE MISERABLE 4.5 HOURS, SHE FINALLY STOPPED AND STOPPED FOR ABOUT 5 HOURS. I PUT HER TO BED, SHE SLEPT AN HOUR, SAT UP IN BED AND DID IT AGAIN. HOPING WE WERE DONE WITH THIS, I PUT HER IN BED WITH ME AND JARED SLEPT DOWNSTAIRS. SHE THEN GOT THE FEVER...NOT FUN! HOWEVER, THE PUKING WAS DONE NOW. THE FEVER BROKE AFTER ABOUT 12 HOURS AND SHE WAS WELL ON HER WAY TO NORMAL AGAIN. IT WAS AWFUL AND IT IS SO HARD TO SEE KIDS SICK AND SO SAD AND LETHARGIC....I HATE IT! WE MADE IT THOUGH AND SHE WAS A TROOPER....THANK GOODNESS WE ARE DONE WITH THAT FOR NOW......

MAUI, HAWAII

SO IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I LAST POSTED....I'VE BEEN SO BUSY! THE BIGGEST THING WE HAVE BEEN UP TO LATELY IS THAT JARED AND I GOT TO GO TO MAUI FOR A WEEK, JUST THE TWO OF US! WE HAD A SPLENDID TIME AND IT WAS AMAZING! THANKS TO MY WONDERFUL MOTHER FOR TAKING THE WEEK OFF TO SPEND IT WITH HALLE KAY-SHE DID AMAZING AND HALLE HAD THE BEST TIME EVER..ALSO, THANKS TO GRUMPY AND NAISY BERNT ALONG WITH AUNT BOO FOR TAKING HER A COUPLE HOURS HERE AND THERE TO PLAY WITH HER AND HAVE FUN! WHILE IN HAWAII, JARED AND I GOT TO GO SNORKELING AND KAYAKING-WE EVEN GOT UP CLOSE TO A REEF SHARK AND SOME HUGE MONSTER TURTLES (LIKE THE ONES ON FINDING NEMO!) THEN WE HAD SOME GREAT MEALS AND SOME GREAT WEATHER. WE SPENT ALOT OF TIME ON OUR HOTELS PRIVATE BEACH BEING SPOILED BY THE WORKERS WHO WOULD BRING AROUND FRESH PINEAPPLE, CHAIRS, TOWELS, UMBRELLAS, AND COLD WATER OUT OF THE BLUE TO SPOIL US ROTTEN...THEY EVEN GAVE US SUNSCREEN. WE ALSO MET UP WITH A CUTE COUPLE THERE FROM TEXAS, THEY WILL BE LIFELONG FRIENDS...THEY WERE SO MUCH FUN TO GET TO KNOW. THEY ALSO HAD A RENTAL CAR AND SO ONE DAY WE WENT AND EXPLORED THE ISLAND WITH THEM...SO FUN! WE GOT TO GO ON A SPLENDID WHALE WATCHING TOUR-AMAZING! THOSE ANIMALS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! THEN I DID THE SPA WITH ANDREA (TEXAS GIRL) WHILE JARED SNORKELED WITH JOSH(TEXAS BOY)! THEN THE FINAL DAY, WE GOT AN EARLY FLIGHT TO HONOLULU AND GOT A RENTAL CAR. WE WENT TO THE DOLE FRUIT PLANTATION, WE EVEN GOT FRESH PINEAPPLE SHAKES, DELISH! WENT TO PEARL HARBOR, WHICH WAS SIMPLY AMAZING, AND WENT ON THE TEMPLE GROUNDS OF THE TEMPLE, BEAUTIFUL! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN AND IT WAS A GREAT GETAWAY JUST THE TWO OF US BEFORE WE HAVE ANOTHER LITTLE ONE RUNNING AROUND AND CAN'T DO IT FOR A BIT. ALTHOUGH, WE DID MISS OUR LITTLE HALLE MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF... BESIDES THE NAUSEA AND NOT EATING TO MUCH YET, I FELT OKAY...PROBABLY BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE EVER, JUST ME AND JARED WAYNE! THANKS TO ALL THAT HELPED US SO WE COULD GO!( AND, BY THE WAY, YOU WILL NOTICE MY HAIR IS SHORT. RIGHT BEFORE OUR TRIP I WENT TO SLC WITH MY MOM-IN-LAW TO HER HAIRDRESSER AND CUT OFF 13 INCHES....DONATED IT TO LOCKS OF LOVE....LOVE SHORT HAIR, ESPECIALLY WITH A KIDDO AND ONE ON THE WAY!)
