Came out of hiding..
Hello world… been gone for awhile.
I was sick for quite some time and started feeling better about a month ago. I was really hoping Micky would take over the blog… but that never happened. So I am back and want to update on the process.
Well I was sick till about 22 weeks. Zofran was my daily friend. I continued to work and get through the days on crackers, pasta, and bean and cheese burritos. I still continued to gain weight, since the Zofran had the throwing up under control.
I have gained now a total of 24lbs since pre pregnancy. I feel really big now. My hips have expanded and my sweats do not even fit anymore. I have had a low body image and it has seemed to get worse. I feel awful complaining how I look, since this is the most amazing miracle that could happen to my partner and I. But, it is honest and how I feel. The only thing I like on me right now is my belly that is it. Everything else on my I am disgusted to look at in the mirror, including the roundness of my face.
We have decided on a name …. Avery. We have gone round and round, it was tough. But we named her and we are in love. She is very active, once it hits 9pm she is pretty crazy. The doctor says all is good. I am starting to have contractions here and there, but nothing to worry about. My tailbone hurts when I walk or stand.
I will post a belly picture shortly

Micky has been keeping me updated on everybody’s blogs. So happy the triplets are all home and that pomegranate is now expecting. So much has changed in everybody’s lives sorry I have not blogged, but I was just plain sick and tired.
i’m sorry MS lasted so long, but glad it’s finally gone. my MIL likes to tell me about her 9 months of it. thanks.
i like the name avery. i suggested it to tam for our boy’s name, but she shot it down.
ugh, sorry you were sick for so long. i hear you on being a little thrown by the weight gain. i don’t want to feel that way about it, but some days it’s hard.
