Today has been a very difficult day! I feel very sick, and even had to call my mom to come over and help me with Eli this morning! Thank God for family being near by huh!? I dialed and hung up about 3 times before I actually called. I just didn't want to bring someone over here for no reason, and was worried that I would begin to feel better by the time my mom got here. I'm so glad I called, because even now, I am feeling very sick, and can barely walk. You are so active and because of that, it can kind of cause even more irritation on my morning sickness days. You have been going non-stop since mommy woke up, and are still going right now! Every time I get into a position where I feel better or comfortable, you start kicking really hard, and then I get sore ligaments, and feel even more nauseous. The ironic thing is that I still smile and love to feel you move, even when it hurts! I can't help it, I'm still in awe that there is a baby in my tummy, and when you move around, it reminds me of how real this is! And Emma, can you believe that even in the midst of mommy getting sick in the bathroom, I was thanking Jesus for a healthy baby boy, a healthy baby Emma in my tummy, and a wonderful, caring and supporting husband!? It's crazy what a mommy can endure with the grace of God. I know my strength comes from God, I've never been more sure of that! I was sitting there in my very real discomfort and stress and praying for people who suffer much worse. It got me to think of the people who are being persecuted and suffer greatly, and God actually prompted me to pray for complete strangers in my situation. It's so unbelievable how much God cares for his people, and how he can have little old me praying for strangers just by going through something as normal as morning sickness! It amazes me... So, that's how I know that there is always someone praying for me and my family. :) Isn't that pretty cool? Emma! Geeze! hahahahahaha, you just kicked the living day lights out of me! I'm seriously sitting here watching my stomach go up and down... You are going to be so much fun I think! and a bit of a handful maybe??? ;) Time will tell ;) Your brother is a very active little guy which I love. He is always on the move, exploring, and wanting us to interact with him. I know you two will get along. He is going to want to show you everything! I get giddy just thinking about the day you will be coming into this world to be held, kissed and loved by your daddy and I. We talk about you all the time :) We are so thankful for you Emma. Even on my more difficult days of pregnancy, I can think about how blessed we are. Love you!
