I'm not going to lie-I'm pretty pooped. I worked from about 7:30-5:00 today but was operating at a very a languid pace. Nonetheless, I didn't feel particularly great so that made my day pretty long. I also got a lot of concerned looks, questions and statements that I looked tired (no woman, no matter how true it is and how bad she feels, wants to hear that!).
I woke up feeling woozy-my stomach was churning and I was dizzy. I thought food would help but actually, I nearly lost my cookies after breakfast and left the house with an emergency plastic bag and a cup of chamomile tea. Then, when I got to work I almost fell asleep while one of my co-workers worked on my computer. Nonetheless, I pepped up, fell into a rhythm after a while and was pretty happy. I did a lot of slow breathing exercises too. Clint insisted on calling me every hour to make sure took breaks and was calm. Frankly, I take a lot of breaks given the number of bathroom stops I make during the day.
Right now Clint is making dinner and I'm watching the news in my PJs while sitting on the couch where I'm sure I'll reside for the next 4 hours or so until bedtime. I'm quite relaxed and happy. Clint is being very selfless and cute, worrying over me. He has stepped up a lot around the house despite still be not quite 100% himself. I have a fantastic husband and friend in him!
I hope to God this feeling of discomfort is due to a pregnancy and not my nervousness. I'm trying to be calm and let this worry go but letting go is something I generally struggle with. I will continue to take care of myself, slow down and give myself lots of TLC but whether my embryos stay and grow is truly in the hands of God. Clint and I have worked hard and done all the right things but at some level, I feel as if it is no longer up to us. Keep praying with me my friends!!!

You have lots of prayers going up from people who love you both very much. You're right, all we can do now is wait. And take good care of yourselves. I love you!
I love you so much, and am absolutely praying for you.
Certainly God has heard me; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, Who has not rejected my prayer nor removed His mercy and loving-kindness from being [as it always is] with me.
[Psalm 66:19-20]
In my distress [when seemingly closed in] I called upon the Lord and cried to my God; He heard my voice out of His temple (heavenly dwelling place), and my cry came before Him, into His [very] ears.
[Psalm 18:6]
You two are such a great team with such great love between you...It sorta makes ME want to cry! Just keep living those "3 P's" and know that the people who love you back are doubling their prayers for you.
