We are all feeling so much better. Last Wednesday, Jacob woke up sick at his tummy. By Thursday evening, Justin came down with it. By Friday afternoon, I got hit. I had the worst of it since I am pregnant. I like to brag about my stats: 18 throw-ups in less than 6 hours. My body found things to eject. After dropping Jacob off at Patty's house Friday evening, we sped down the freeway, with flashers, to make it to the ER before my next episode, which were like contractions every 10 minutes. Poor Justin had body aches and had to drive me to get help! I stayed in Labor and Delivery overnight due to severe dehydration. They couldn't even get blood out of my arms until my first fluid bag was 1/2 used. Yikes! I had the WORST body aches once the anti-nausea meds kicked in and my 3rd bag of fluids were on its way down. I have never been so sore in my life. When I laid down to sleep, my ribs, neck just hurt. Baby Girl was just fine through out the ordeal. Justin made it through too. Jacob's appetite has returned this morning. And, I am desiring to mop today...that's not too strenuous is it? Just wanted you to know. Please pray for us. This is my 4th ER visit (I added another during Christmas in Amarillo-freak bacterial infection in my lip-who knew!). I am praying that God provides us with 1) A buyer for our boat so we can pay off a loan or two, 2) Good bonuses so we can pay for our medical bills and buy Jacob new or used furniture, and 3) Health for all of us. Thank you for caring about us! In my next post, I need suggestions for baby names, moving Jacob to a big bed, baby bedding and so much more! For now, I am going to down some cold water and take a nap.

May you have a wonderful, healthy day!!!
