And, no, I'm not touting the Lakers' victory. Boo!!
Instead, I would like to officially announce my symptom improvements -- life is worth living again! Instead of curling up in my bed, wishing for death, I am slowly regaining my Lisa self. I'm relieved and grateful . . . maybe I will make it through this pregnancy after all! :)
Since I'm finally able to hold down food, my weight gain has skyrocketed from nothing to too much in a matter of a couple of weeks. Goodness! No question about it -- I am pregnant and am looking the part!
In celebration of this moment, I would like to thank the following:
Family -- your unconditional love and support were astounding and undeserved. Especially Jer . . . how did you stay so patient with me? And, Mom, thanks for letting me vent over and over and over again!
Friends -- although I dropped off the face of the earth, you didn't abandon me. Your kind words of encouragement and concern were needed.
Tropical Smoothie Cafe -- on those rare occasions when I could hold something down, Blimey Limey hit the spot!
My Bed -- O, how I love your Tempur-Pedic softness!! We spent so many miserable hours together, but you were always there.
Multivitamins -- When I was nutritionally deficient, you provided much-needed folic acid for my embryo. Thanks for reducing the risk of neural tube defects!
And, lastly, and most importantly, baby #3 -- Your movement/kicks and adorable ultrasound pics reminded me of why I did this . . . you're certainly worth it!
Okay, okay, I'll end the silliness. I still have a ways to go to feel "normal," but all I wanted was improvement, and I got it! Now if I could only get the energy to clean the house. Baby steps, Lisa. Baby steps.

I am so glad you're feeling a little better! I miss your more regular posts, but I totally understand. :) Yay for baby #3. I hope you continue to feel better.
Yay! I meant to pull you aside yesterday and tell you how fantastic you look... but it was a busy day! You look so adorable! Little basketball in the front and skinny everywhere else. I'm already jealous. :)
Of course, I'm jealous of your ability to keep food down too.
Oh Lisa, I am so happy for you. The other day you really had a new glow about you. So glad you are feeling better!! Yay!
Yay! This is GREAT news! Congratulations! You deserve it!
I'm so happy to hear you're feeling better. Are you coming to the reunion? I have never seen you prego. I'll bet you're adorable.
I'm glad to hear the news. I can actually tell by hearing your voice. Maybe you Jayce to clean the house and you just supervise.
I'm really glad to hear things seem to be on the upswing. I noticed your baby bump Sunday too...it's a cute one, as baby bump's go. I've seen plenty so I'm a fairly good judge of these things. ;)
You definitely deserve to feel better. I hope it continues to improve for you!
YEAH!! I am so happy for you! I thought you felt better faster with Jayce than with Alyssa so since this is a boy, I hope you just keep on getting better!!
I am SOOOO glad you are feeling better. Some would argue, but in my mind there is nothing worse! Can't wait to see you!
