update and hating on the weather

health update:



still not eating great amounts. i am fluctuating between 103.8 and 104.2 pounds. the nurse bumped up my dose on saturday, but yesterday i still couldn't keep anything down. a nurse calls me every day at lunch to check on my weight and what i am eating. she will probably bump up my dose again.



i am 12 weeks and 1 day today...so really praying that this will pass within the next few weeks.



since i am malnourished, unstable and cranky and confined to my couch, that has given me lots of time to realize that i am so over winter. i know i know, a southern girl always should appreciate a good snow. in the south though, it gets cold for a couple of weeks and we might get a 1/2 inch of snow every couple of years. but, then it warms back up to 50 degress and we move on our way. i didn't realize until now how unrealistic that is for the rest of the country. it snows. then it turns to brown. then it is only 8 degrees, so it turns to ice. car crashes ensue (i became aware of this on christmas eve). then it stays cloudy. for days and days and days. and days. oh and days. in order to not sink into a deep depression, i am reminding myself that march is normally the month where things warm up. that's a month and a half away. ok doable. i am aslo sinking myself into the picture that a lucky southern friend took below:








you are welcome to bask in the picture with me...that should hold us off until spring.

    And winter is terribly overrated... soon the sunshine will come and you'll feel better and your little one will be on his/her way!
