The 4th of July


The 4th of July is by far my favorite holiday, but this year was a a bit of a bummer. The kids looked absolutely adorable, but the pregnancy sickness started on July 3rd, the night of the fireworks and hit so hard and so fast!!! I have never been more sick in my entire life.



We did most of our celebrating on July 3rd for the fireworks. We went to my parents house for dinner and to watch the fireworks that night.


Even though I am only 6 weeks pregnant, I started feeling so sick I didn't have a choice but to tell everyone.


Once it was dark we went to the Elliott's house to sit in their backyard to watch the fireworks. It was the perfect spot!


I came home that night and crashed.... when I woke up I felt so sick and knew I had a long road ahead of me.

James and Lexi came out and got the kids so I could rest and took them out to Lexi's grandma's house in Newton.  They love going out there because of the cool chair on her stairs.



Then they took them to my parents house to play in the pool and jump on the tramp.


Stella made her stepping stone with her hand print in it and got to decorate it the way she wanted to.


That night they did fireworks at my parents house and I stayed home in bed. I was pretty down because i didn't feel good, but mostly because I was missing this family time on my favorite holiday.



The next day I was in the hospital getting fluids and took these pictures to remind myself how awful it was and how sick I felt!
