God and I have had many conversations in the past about my mission in life. It is a simple one but one he has assured me is important. It is to love God, be a good wife, a good mother and to create and maintain a home where His name is praised and magnified and one that brings peace to those who spend time there. This sweet life growing in my womb is really throwing me for a loop. I was sick the entire time I was pregnant with Noah. But then I had only Adam and Charlie to worry about.And they were pretty self sufficient. Now I have a mission. And as of now I am doing pretty poorly at it.
I wake up sick. I have pretty good days at school. I'll feel great all day until about 2:30 then it starts. By six o'clock I can't do much of anything except curl up on the couch and pray not to throw up. I want to feel good at home so that I can be a wife to Adam, a mother to Noah and a homemaker in our house.
So here is my request. I am asking for prayer for healing. In a few weeks when I enter the second trimester I want to leave this sickness behind. I know God can do this because I have seen Him work in both small and big ways. So while this plea is selfish and deals mainly with my own comfort it is sincere. I know this small miracle would make a difference in my home, for Noah and for Adam. I really want to spend these last months as a family of three making memories not sick.

Oh, Carrie! I am so sorry! It is so much harder to be sick or tired with the second pregnancy. I certainly will pray that you get some relief soon. I can remember waking up on the first morning of my second trimester and calling my Mom to complain that it was not gone yet!! I hope that you can feel better soon and enjoy being pregnant!
Hi Carrie! I don't know if you remember me but I'm a friend of Adam's from Lakeside. I just ran across your blog from someone else's. First of all congrats on the new baby! Secondly, one of my mom's good friends (also a Lakeside person) was so terribly sick with her two kids. The only thing she found that helped the nausea was drinking vanilla milkshakes. I know it probably sounds gross but she SWEARS by it! She had one with her at all times to take a swig of every now and then. I have a friend who is pregnant now also and she is super sick too and she has tried the vanilla milkshakes and it has helped her some. But only Vanilla! Maybe try it and see what happens! Good luck! I'll be praying for you!
