12 weeks
So, here is my official post. We are pregnant with our 5th child. Due--December 27th, 2009. Yesterday I hit my 12 week mark which is nice, although I fee like I've been pregnant forever, it's still nice to get the first trimester under my belt. Pregnancy is probably the hardest thing I do. My body and pregnancy just don't mix. I get really sick. We won't go into detail...just take me word for it. With this pregnancy I really wanted to just drop off the face of the earth. I've only been able to lay in bed and look around and sleep. Walking makes me sick, reading made me sick, even sitting at the computer made me sick for several weeks. I can't enter a kitchen as the smells, sights, and even sounds send me into fits. Monty has been great taking care of our other kids as my desire to do that has been ZERO. I feel so bad, but I just can't. Food and I have a love-HATE relationship as I have to have it, but hate to eat. I have to brush my teeth with baking soda because toothpaste is just nasty(while I'm pregnant). Anyway, getting through this first part of pregnancy stinks, but it will be worth it. I love my kids so much(even though right now I struggle with them). They bring me so much job. Two nights ago I had the energy to get Trey into his pj's and he even made me laugh. It had been a while since I'd laughed doing that. It gave me hope that one day I'll feel normal again. Anyway, I don't mean for this to be a whinny post, it is just reality. I am excited for this baby...just can't wait to feel better. The journeys that are the hardest are the most worth it.

I hope you feel better soon. I had such easy pregnancies, but it's everything that comes afterwards that I struggle with. I loved your typo where I'm pretty sure you meant JOY, but typed JOB. They sure are both, aren't they? Wish I could be there to help make things easier for you. I'd love to take your boys for an afternoon - or day. Sorry I'm no help.
You sure are a trooper!!! My sister the hero and example. I sure hope things get better at least until you hit that totally uncomfortable stage which I am so in right now. Love you and the family!
I hope you start feeling better soon. Your right it's all worth it! We love you.
I feel so bad for you right now. Hope it all starts getting better for you soon.... Love ya!
Congratulations again! What an exciting time in your life...both the getting past 12 weeks part, and the new baby part!
Man...I ain't gonna lie...sometimes being pregnant even with all the nastly sickness...it's easier than raising the adorable outcome. I love my kids but...I am just being honest! :)
I am VERY excited to find out if you are having a boy or a girl...
I love ya and PRAY that you and that baby are doing well!
Hang in there, Kristin. Feeling better is just around the corner. One of these days, soon, you'll feel like living again. I love you.
That just sucks! I'm so sorry. My pregnancy's are pretty visiouse to! So props to you for having another. I'm pretty sure we are stopping at 3! Which I absolutly never thought would happen. I am so sorry they are so bad. You sure are a trooper!
YEAAH FOR THE OFFICIAL POST! i am so excited for you but feeling so bad at the same time because i know how yucky it is that first trimester. I am so sorry. If the baking soda gets old, when i was prego i couldn't brush my teeth without throwing up...i started using kids toothpaste as it is much milder and it worked for me. congrats girl...so proud of you! keep us updated!
Yeah I am so excited for your adorable family and I am glad that the 1st trimester is over. Hopefully you will feel much better soon! You have the most beautiful children and who knows maybe this one will be a girl to add to the mix!
