Night Time Sickness, Morning Sickness, Afternoon Sickness. Just Sick.

Omgee. Can you say nauseous?! I think I jinxed myself. During my first official month of knowing I was pregnant it was a blast, I was eating and loving it. Until I told my father I was pregnant. And that's when the sickness just came like a  rushing mighty wind and it didn't stop there. From October 17th to November 30th I threw up EVERYTHING. I promised myself that my child would hear nothing about the labor pains but definitely about my morning sickness. The only plus side about the constant vomiting was that I lost weight. Yea! You read right, I lost weight.

I'm sure a lot of women can relate to the annoyance of "morning sickness". But I can say that the father of my child made breakfast for me. It was so wonderful. I love that man.

You're Pregnant!

The thought of missing that "time of the month" can be nerve wrecking. I know it was for me. Before I missed my period I took extra precautions to make sure I wasn't. I know you're thinking, "well, how the hell do you do that?" Well, it is simple, if you're not pregnant, most people miss there period if they're stressed, miscalculated their cycle, or they have a hormonal imbalance (I am no doctor! Feel free to ask your primary care doctor or go on www.webmd.com for questions relating menstrual cycles.). With that being said, I first tried to destress myself. Cleaning usually helps me to unwind and level out, so I decided to deep clean my entire room, from the main bedroom to the huge walk-in closet and even the bathroom inside of that. Unfortunately, my endeavors were unsuccessful (uggghhh!) and I spent the next couple of days trying to remember when my last menstrual period was.

Realizing I wasn't calculating anything wrong, my mind started to free-fall. I started thinking, Oh my God! What if I'm pregnant or what if my endometriosis flared up again. I knew my period had to start soon, I was having menstrual symptoms from cramping and breast tenderness. But nonetheless I decided to take a home pregnancy test. I go to Walgreens and am outraged by the prices of these HPT's and I jokingly tell my friend "At these prices, I better be pregnant!" 

To All The Single Mothers Out There

My Dearest Single Mother

by

Evangelist Manuel Scott, Jr.

My Dearest Single Mother,
God has a plan for you
Stay strong, stay focused, stay prayerful
For He will surely see you all the way through.

Though your burdens may be heavy
And your nights may be oh so long
Look up my Sister, for there’s a brighter day
And He will gently guide you along.

When it seems like you’re not appreciated
When it seems as if no one really cares
Just remember the very tears you shed
God will take them, and wipe them, and change them
Into butterfly wings
That will soar
And flutter
All through the air.

My Dearest Single Sister,
Relief is on the way
Relief from stress and strain
Relief from problems and pain
Relief from shackles and chains
For God has just sent some angels
And charged them to lift all your cares away.

My Dearest Single Mother
Remember that the Father is a parent like you
For He shares your hurts and hopes for your children
To Him, continue to pray, for He knows exactly what to do.

My Precious Sister of Heaven,
Let this thought caress you like none other
The Father deems you priceless, wonderful, and oh so special
My Dearest, Dearest, Single Mother.

(Poem from Just A Hug:10 Poems For Christian Sisters To Think About)

“Casting all your cares upon Him; for He careth for you.” I Peter 5:7

Happy Mother’s Day!
