7wks

So we're 7 wks now into pregnancy and I'm already feeling that nausea. Last week was really bad but manageable. This week, so far, has been better. I have some medicine and have been munching on small snacks to keep my stomach full. Our ultrasound last week went well. The doctor said she saw a good heartbeat and the baby's measurements looked perfect. We will go for our next apt. at the end of May. Brent's dad is still recovering in the hospital after his surgery. For those of you who don't know what happened, I'll fill you in. Rich (Brent's dad) went in for surgery about a month ago for a clogged artery in his leg. They did surgery and sent him home. About a week after he was having the same pain from before and went back into the surgery. Within that week they did 3 more surgeries, none of which were successful. They decided he needed to loose that leg. So 2 wks ago he had his right leg amputated from the knee down. This was very difficult for him because he is a very active and independent man. He is doing well in recovering. They finally moved him out of ICU and into a regular room and took him off of all but 1 IV. We're praying that he will see God's plan and will through this. We haven't told him about the baby yet but are going to this week. We wanted to wait till he was getting better and was able to understand. It's been hard to find joy in our trials, but God is constantly reminding us daily of his love and faithfulness to us.
