Can I just whine about this a little? I know I am blessed to be pregnant and especially after our recent losses on this board, I am extremely thankful to have a healthy pregnancy so far.
I am just sick of being sick already, and it's only been a few days. I always feel like no one understands what it's like- that they just expect me to ignore it and be glad that I'm pregnant. I AM glad that I'm pregnant, but this is hard. Thankfully it is not as severe as it has been in previous pregnancies- although yesterday was pretty bad. I am just queasy ALL the time and my mouth is watering, and I gag/dry heave off and on. Doing too much movement makes it worse so of course my house is a wreck. We host a church group here every week so I have to make myself clean today. Which means I probably will not keep down my lunch. Dh wants to take me out on a special date for Valentine's Day- yay!!! Except he said he doesn't know where to take me because I am sick. Argh. I told him just pick somewhere and I don't care how sick I am, I'm going to make myself enjoy it!
On the up side, I am spending more time reading and cuddling with my kids since I'm on the couch alot. I have to nibble constantly to keep the nausea at bay, and they don't understand why mommy gets "snacks" all day and they don't. But they are doing ok with it. At least I'm actually functioning somewhat, which is more than I can say for previous pregnancies.
I know this sounds really whiny. Maybe I have a low tolerance for it due to the previous experiences. Ugh. I know this will last for at least 6 more weeks. Bleh. I guess I better keep the toilets nice and clean, if that's the only thing I clean.
