Sickness...& V-Day!!

For the past three days I have been sicker than a dog. I must have got the flu on Sunday from church. On Monday I threw up but I figured it was morning sickness (since I still have the joy of that everyday!) Then on Tuesday morning I woke up at 6:00 AM throwing up profusely. I could not keep anything down all day. We called the doctor and they gave me a prescription to help me stop throwing up. I took half a tablet, WORST decision I ever made. Josh left to class and I had to call him mid way through to come home because something was wrong but I didn't know what. When he came home, I kept passing out in mid conversation. I was having a reaction to the medication. I had really bad chills and sweating all day and it was just one of the WORST days of my life. The doctor told me if I couldn't keep anything down still by 6:00 PM that I had to go in and get an IV. Josh and our Home Teacher came over and gave me a blessing and it helped SO much. I was finally able to go to sleep and get some relief. I threw up about 6 and then not for a while and was able to keep some fluids down. Then I had another bad night that night. Yesterday I was able to keep fluids down but no food really. Today is the same. Every time I look at food or have a bite of it it is just awful. I hope I feel better tomorrow because I really need to go back to work! I feel bad! I hope this is the last time I will be sick when I am pregnant. Just a few weeks ago I had a really bad cold and cough and all that fun stuff. I am barely over that and now I have the flu.

On the brighter side....Josh did such a good job for Valentines Day! We went to Dear John, it was sad but really good! Then we went to dinner on Saturday. On Sunday he got me a really nice card and bought me some roses and chocolates! He also made a candle light dinner. He got us a couples massage also! We were supposed to go today...but since I am sick we had to reschedule till Saturday. I am excited for that! I haven't had a massage forever! I got him a new electric shaver...he really needed one! I know I'm so romantic! Thank you for everything Josh, I love you SO much!

Polar Bear Plunge!

Before with the polar bear.

Right after getting out of the water...

Home warming up...

Yesterday we got about 7 inches of snow and the whole east coast shut down. I was so surprised how the roads were not plowed, and there were articles being written about how people were going to the store to buy all the food because they like thought the world was ending. So different from Utah. We get feet of snow daily there in the winter. It gave me a good laugh. Yesterday was also the Polar Bear Plunge into the Susquehanna River. Last year we all watched it and Josh and Jim said they were doing it this year. Josh has had a cold and so I told him it was not the best idea....yet he did it anyway. I was the video taker/photographer. I have to say it was worth it. It was hilarious. Most of those people have to go get stone drunk before jumping into the freezing cold water, not Josh and Jim, they are dumb enough to do it on their own. HA HA JK! Did I mention you have to pay 20 bucks to do this? The funny thing is they want to do it again next year!! From the looks on Josh's face during the plunge I really thought he was dying and someone was going to have to come save him. It was a good fun day and they are both still living after their plunge into the freezing Susquehanna!

It's a BOY!

We just found out and we are so excited! We totally thought it was a girl, so it was quite a surprise! Josh loves that picture because he says he is kissing his bicep! Ha ha. I am still really sick...but still hopeful it will get better. Everything is going well in the Andersen home and we are very excited!
