It's Sunday, pretty early. Not early enough for a gal who fell asleep at around six last night, but still pretty early! I realized that I had left some loose ends in the journal, and wanted to fill everybody in - especially those of you who have been praying for me.

The wonder drug truly IS a wonder! I took the first one on Wednesday morning, and felt NORMAL for the first time in over a month! However, she had only prescribed thirty of them - with no refills - so my logic said that if I took one a day, that would get me through the first trimester, which is what everyone says is the most awful time for the nausea.

However, the directions read to take them every four hours. I felt great for about eight. Then I was sicker than I've ever been in my LIFE! Not being graphic, but I spent some quality time with my toilet.

So, the next day, after getting reassurances from my doc that she'll call in a refill, I took two. I waited too long to take the second, so it took a while for the pill to bring me around, but it worked eventually. Yay!

Also that day, I got the results from my colposcopy and biopsy that I had done the week before. At my initial exam, they had done some tests that came back with results that may have been cancerous - which had caused us no small quantity of concern. (When I say US, I mean Jonathan, because I was at complete peace - he's the one who took a while to calm down about it.) But they aren't! I've got some conditions that will require more testing than the average pregnant women, but nothing that will affect the baby! Hooray!

Strangely enough, almost everyone I know has predicted that I will have a girl. And I'm coming to realize that other than the name, might not be such a bad thing. I just feel like a boy would be easier on me - isn't that awful? So Jonathan is hoping for a girl, and I've still got my fingers crossed for the other gender. But at the risk of being cliche, we'll both be happy with whoever God gives us!

I think that's it as far as news goes. Hope you're having a good day ~ and that I'll see you soon!
