Morning Sickness

Morning sickness is common during pregnancy.  As it turns out, morning sickness doesn't always happen in the morning.  Although sometimes tired, Katy feels pretty good during the day.  Then 5 o'clock rolls around and the nausea kicks in, pretty much without fail.  I must say that she's been super tough.  She rarely complains, simply stating "It just means there's a healthy baby in there."  


I can't even imagine what it must feel like to be pregnant.  You're hungry but you can't eat certain things.  You're nauseous so you don't want to eat but you have to.  If you're sick you can't take much medicine.  You're senses are extremely heightened like a superhero. (Katy can smell things like a bloodhound.) You're eating, sleeping, drinking, and breathing for 2.  All these changes are going on inside your body all of the sudden.  It sounds like a mixture of going through puberty and having the flu.


As her husband and baby's daddy, my goal is to serve, support and encourage Katy as much as possible.  I'm trying to find the balance between challenging her and caring for her.  Both are important, but at different times and settings.  All things considered, I'd say she is doing great and already being a great Mom to Baby Bradley.  Thank you for your prayers during this amazing journey!

What ways can a husband best support his wife during pregnancy?
