To answer some comment questions, I was not sick like this with Ivy. There is part of me that wished that I would have been because I possibly wouldn't have had so much anxiety during the pregnancy with her. I was not on any medication and kind of mentally removed myself from what was going on inside of me. The worst that I felt with her was that I had an icky taste in my mouth for a few months. Like I was sucking on a dirty nickel. But I was able to eat, as was evidenced by my weight gain of 26 pounds!
Bec's pregnancy was the ultimate. If I got a chance to choose between which way I would be pregnant, I would choose to duplicate his again in a heart beat. No anxiety. No weight gain. No morning sickness. Yes, it was that close to perfect. If you ask his Africa mommy though, she might have a different story than mine since she did all of the work! What an amazing woman. I can't tell you the love I feel for her.
As they say, every pregnancy is different. And yes, I will agree whole heartedly with that now :) Even before my test came up positive, I was sicker than a dog and TIRED with this one! I'm at least up moving around now, and I'm really hoping that I am getting better, though it is hard to tell. I'm hoping that soon I will be saying, "I didn't even realize how badly I felt before. I feel so incredible now!" Let's hope!!

I am hoping with you. Morning sickness is so blasted dreadful!
I always wished for that magic button you could press and just get the baby in your arms. I would be totally content to skip pregnancy because of the anxiety and sickness that acompany it. :(
I hope you are better super soon!

it's so cool to be "going through this with you". It's cool that all the pregnancies are different...I love that you can appreciate the sickness because at least you know something's going on.
Love to you---
