A brother for Reese

It is a boy!!! I will get pictures posted later, but the ultrasound today was clear - - Henry Peyton Womack will be here in July. We told our families tonight and they were all so excited. This is the first boy on the Bing side of the family since Timothy was born 24 years ago and the first boy on the Womack side since Derek! The girl streak is broken.

Reese is pretty happy. When you ask her to say "Hank," she just laughs. She thinks it is the funniest word. I just know she is going to be a great big sister.

Drew is leaving at 4:30 in the morning to go to Wyoming for the week - - it will be the longest he has been away from Reese. I am leaving on Friday to go to New Orleans for the weekend and it will be the longest I've been away from her -- so we are having a big week.

Big Day

18 weeks today. This pregnancy has flown by. On Monday, we go for our ultrasound to hopefully find out what this new little booger is! We still don't know what we will name the baby if it is girl. I just can't wait to find out either way!

Today I argued my first case before the Tennessee Court of Appeals. It was very exciting. I don't know if they agreed with me, but I do believe I did my best and that I did just as good of a job as any attorney.

Slow road back

Reese was finally starting to feel better on Thursday, but I felt sick all day. I couldn't tell if it was just being pregnant or if it was about to hit. And then at 10:00 p.m. it hit. At some point that night, Drew got it, too. It was miserable. By Friday evening, Drew was able to walk around. I didn't accomplish that feat until last night, and even then, it lasted only about 15 minutes. However, today, I am finally able to move around. I think I will be able to eat something more than chicken broth.

The worst part is that Drew's mom, who came to take care of Reese, got sick last night. She said she was ok to go home this morning, but I still feel terrible that she got it, too.

The Plague

Every member of my extended family has been stricken with the worst stomach virus ever. We thought it has passed over our house, but this morning, Reese woke up throwing up. I have never seen her this miserable. I put her in the bath tub, her most favorite thing in the world, and she just sat there with her little head down and didn't even flinch when I washed her face (her least favorite thing).

I can't seem to make her better and it breaks my heart. The worst part is that if I get this as bad as everyone else has had it, I could very well end up in the hospital since I am pregnant. I am just praying that doesn't happen and that the nausea I feel right now is just because my house smells like vomit.
