Happy World Down Syndrome Day!
Sunny Days
I am REALLY happy to report this morning is DAY 3 of feeling better! My nausea held out all day yesterday, the day before, and as I sit here this morning... having eaten breakfast... I don't feel queesy at all! Now granted, I've still steadily been on Zofran... scared to death not to... but you have to understand HOW amazing it is to be able to feel like a normal person after weeks of feeling like a zombie. Its appropriate too, the weather has been SO nice here this week. The kids are loving being able to play outside with out their little fingers freezing, and its so nice to open up the windows...
And Praise the Lord for the light at the end of this nauseous tunnel because our adoption stuff is really moving along. I'm getting the vibe that my stateside coordinator and my Ukraine facilitator are talking about me and are really trying to move things along before I start getting too big. (Which this tummy is definitely starting to poke out! Whoa! Thats a fourth pregnancy for ya, I guess.) Anyway I'll save the paperwork update for the other blog.
Do you know that old Hyper Static Union song, "Praying for sunny days"... its been in my head all day yesterday and this morning. Thats kinda how I feel. I would add it to my playlist on here but they don't have that song. :( Oh well. "Rain rain go away, I have faith that you won't stay. I don't care what doubters say, sunny days will come my way. Feel the birds come out to play, by the light of one sun ray. Now I kneel me down to pray, 'Please God give me SUNNY DAYS!'"

Sweet angel baby
Is this just the sweetest thing you've ever seen or what? Abby can fall asleep just about anywhere. She was sitting next to me at my grandparents house last week and we look over and she's OUT cold. No whining, no fussing to tell us she's tired. She just falls asleep.
I don't have a camera right now because my old one bit the dust. So we're saving to get a new one and until we do, I'm treasuring any pictures like this passed along from family or friends!! Thanks Papaw!
Spoke too soon. :(
Well, yesterday I headed of to a Women's thing at church and just before it was over, someone came in saying that Jake had been trying to get a hold of me all morning- that he couldn't stop puking. :(
So, he was sick all day- thankfully I was able to give him some of my nausea meds! :) Which did help. He's better today but still trying to take in a bland diet just in case. At least this thing seems to be only a 12 hour bug. With no fever. So its really not horrible... but of course no sickness at all would be preferred!
PLEASE pray with me that Ashley and Emily don't get sick. Ashley was looking a little pale this morning and said her head and stomach hurt. But she did eat a little breakfast and some lunch just now and is running around playing... and seems to be fine. We'll see what happens. I'll keep you updated. I think I've seen and heard all the puke I can handle!!!

Stomach Bug
Thought I should update everyone on the "puke status" at the Spencer house. :) Sorry, that's gross.
Abby was hit with some kinda funky stomach bug yesterday and didn't keep down... well... ANYthing. :( Poor baby. She was really pitiful. And what was really miserable was that I couldn't either. :( I called my OB- we still don't know if I had the bug too or if it was just morning sickness on overdrive seeing Abby puke. But I've been a little better today.
My awesome mom and dad came over after work and took care of us. She fed the kids (which is like THE hardest part for me), played with them and put them to bed. Then today my mother-in-law had Ash and Em for the morning while Jake was working so that Abbs and I could get some rest. Thank you both!!
Ashley and Emily haven't shown any signs of it yet... I think they're in the clear. Not really sure how Abby got it to begin with... she's just so suseptable to all forms of funk. :( She definitely kept down the food she ate today, but still doesn't have a huge appetite.
As for me- my ninth week was the worst with all of the kids (as far as sickness goes) and I'm 9 1/2 weeks right now. Oh joy. :) But that DOES mean (hopefully) that I'm at the peak of it and it should start to get better soon. (Please, Lord!!)
On a seperate note- I'm really happy my sister-in-law held her baby in long enough for this bug to pass! I would have CRIED if she went into labor while my house was under quarentine!!! (Thanks Han!) ;)
