Return to the Toilet

While I type, the baby is dancing all around my tummy! I love it!
As Hannah and Isaac would say, "Well...." today was not the best of days. I am totally exhausted. I haven't done much, but can't seem to get moving either. I know I am still struggling with Hyperemesis, but boy am I tired. And I returned to the toilet today... not a pleasant moment. Dinner is settling fine though...
And it was COLD today. I had to turn the heater on. It was only 62 in the house! The wind is blowing, and it is just cold. Yuck. Wednesday it is suppose to be 90! Just a little bit of a change!
Hannah had a dentist appointment today. Aaron took her in and she was super brave again. She really is a trooper. Isaac enjoyed his morning alone with Mommy. Both of the kids have been enjoying more Mommy time. Isaac actually stayed in HIS bed until 7:30 this morning. It was nice to wake up in my bed with a little extra room! Aaron appreciated it too. No little feet in his back!
I've done a little bit of reading on stress with children Hannah's age. The stress most often manifests itself in behavior issues. This has been a problem for about the last 6 weeks, as long as I have been pregant and sick. I know Mommy being sick is stressful on the kids, and on the whole family. I am sad that it seems to be affecting Hannah is such a strong way. She is usually a very sweet little girl who is very kind and aware of how her words make people feel. This hasn't been the case lately. She gets very short, sassy and snotty in just a few minutes time. Maybe she is trying to figure out a new step of independence, but I have a strong sense it is mostly from the stress in our home. She is one who easily worries, (it runs in the family) and I know she is worried about me and the baby. Her questions and spoken concerns leave me no doubt. I pray that the end result will be a positive experience for her, for us all... one that helps us learn and grow and trust more and more in God to guide us.
