Where's Tessa??

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't posted a new blog post in quite awhile, and I swear I have a good reason... EXTREME MORNING SICKNESS! Let's call it what it is though, extreme morning, noon AND night sickness. This even includes me occasionally waking up in the middle of the night to throw up (sorry for the TMI). When we decided to try for baby number two we knew that I would probably be sick for awhile since I had pretty good morning sickness with Isabelle. Some of our friends said, "maybe this pregnancy will be different and you won't be as sick". I was hoping... What I never thought about was the possibility that I would be even SICKER with this pregnancy. The good news is that being this sick usually equals a healthy pregnancy, and all looked great at our first appt last week. I am now 9wks and 1 day pregnant, and my due date is November 7, 2009.

I want to take this time to apologize to anyone who's email I haven't returned recently, and thank my clients for their flexibility on rescheduling appts, and waiting for their edited photos. We are praying I start feeling at least a little better soon. I started acupuncture two weeks ago and while that seems to be helping a bit, I still spend most days on the couch or in bed. I just started taking a B6 supplement yesterday, and am hoping this will help too. My doctor wants to try to keep me off of drugs (as do we), so we'll see what the next week brings.

Even with all the sickness we are so very excited to be expanding our family, and feel blessed that it happened so quickly (especially at my age ;).

I hope to be starting up sessions again soon and will keep you all posted with my progress!
