I think I caught something. I feel unusually nauseous. Thursday I woke up at 3:30AM shaking. I was super cold, but not really like it was super cold in the room. It was like chills. I felt icky and couldn't get back to sleep til after 6:30AM. I felt fine all day until Maddox and I woke up from nap. I felt sick all night and had a head ache. This morning I have felt sick since waking up. Nauseous and a headache, but I feel like I could throw up at any second.

I've been sneezing for a couple weeks now too. I don't know what that is all about, but it makes my stomach feel even worse.

Morning Sickness

Has subsided.. for the most part! I feel a ton better, still very tired though. Have been trying to take my vitamins at night, but forgetting them often :( Still not eating a ton, but eating slightly larger meals. Somethings work better than others and sometimes I will feel terrible for hours after eating.

I've given in to soda and had coffee once. Halloween was yesterday and so far I'm doing great with the candy! Maddox seems to be able to spot any chocolate at any distance and when I allow him a piece, that's the only time I have any. Well, I did have a little while he was at school with Daddy tonight, but not very much!

Morning Sickness

Morning Sickness started in a couple days ago. It's hard to get up in the morning, it fades a bit, and than comes back full force in the evening. It's hard to eat a decent amount, it's impossible to drink almost anything at all.

Today is a better day and I've already had a plate of stroganoff and half a bottle of water, but now after a nap, I'm feeling sick again. I haven't taken my vitamin yet today. I'm waiting for this evening before I go to bed. I'm hoping that's the reason for the M/S and that if I take it before I go to bed every night that I will feel better during the day.

And so it starts...

"First I go upstairs, then I go in the kitchen, then I open the fridge, then I pick up CHEEEEEEEEESE!" "Yeah, Is that ok with you? Yeah!"

He can go into the refrigerator himself and get cheese. He even got the cheese open by himself.

"I go upstairs, in the kitchen, and get some cheese again?"

Pumpkin Patch Pictures

Maddox, Clayton, and I went to the pumpkin patch with Auntie Amy, Uncle Kerry, Dante, Ana, and Kaden. Apple Jacks Orchard. I was disappointed in their "pumpkin patch". I thought it was going to be large like the one we have gone to the past couple years (Pine Tree Apple Orchard), but it was really really small. Their selection was OK and we found some pretty good pumpkins. It was really hot and humid out though and Maddox was bright red the entire time.

We had cold apple cider (Maddox's came in a plastic Jack-O-Lantern), bought a 1/4 a peck of Haralson Apples, and a frozen Strawberry Rhubarb pie (that is in the oven right now!). We need to bring over some pie to my sister. She was going to buy it (the last one left), but decided it would melt by the time they got home. We wanting one too but didn't know she had grabbed the last one. Luckily it was still there after she put it back and we came by and grabbed it.



Maddox had an apple... He probably wasn't supposed to!

Maddox has been really sad lately. He walks around all day mopping, whining, and crying. He's not being annoying or frustrating. He is just miserable and sad. I've asked him if he's sad and he says yes. I've asked him "why" and "do you know why" and he shakes his head no. I feel so sad for him. He still does have his happy moments, but mostly he's sad. It's been a week and he is also eating non-stop. I don't know what to do with the kid...
