Today I had my first TINY bout with morning sickness. Here's my story:
I was sitting in my office. I had just opened the box to a new lamp I bought for my office and bent down to throw some things away in the trash. The second I sat up I realized, "Oh my word, I'm going to throw up!" I sat at my desk for 5 minutes without moving a single muscle. I stared at my computer and willed that feeling to go away. It did pass. Luckily I didn't actually throw up.
I went to the fridge in our department and got my yogurt out (bring on the protein). I ate it all, even though half way through my stomach was protesting. After about 10 min I finally felt better.
If that's it, I can take that every day. I hope that's it! :)
So very thankful for the low level of morning sickness so far. My mom told me that she was throwing up before she could take a test and that's how she always knew. OH MY! I haven't come close to that yet. I pray every day that I will not be that sick. So far, so good.
The only other symptom I'm battling is exhaustion. I can't even explain how I feel for the most part. I can say it is completely unlike me. I could literally (and 2 times actually have) lay my head on my desk and take a 30 minute nap. The only thing really stopping me is the fact that I can't stand my pants being so constricting. I want to go to bed the second I get home, but I will myself to stay awake until 9pm. Otherwise I wake up at 4am. I can't think straight sometimes (words come out wrong, or no words come out at all). I feel like such a dope (yes, I did use that word). I think I'm going to start utilizing my 2 10-min breaks at work for nap times. Even if I just shut my eyes and lay my head down for 10 minutes, I think it will help.
Let the journey continue!
Last year I often fell asleep on the couch while Jake fixed dinner. I would wake up, eat, and go back to sleep. There were countless nights that I was actually in bed by 7:30. Jake loved it because then he could watch whatever he wanted to on TV! :)
ReplyDelete"Morning sickness" is the stupidist name ever. It should be called "all day you have the potential to feel like barfing" sickness.
