Darn. Morning sickness has arrived. I thought maybe this
time around would be different. NO. The last two days have been tough. VERY
hard to focus at work without wanting to either curl up in a ball and fall
asleep in my car or visit the bathroom and hide in there. I’m trying to drink
water. I’m trying to sip this mom-to-be tea, but I just feel gross.
Gross.
I sure do take for granted how healthy I feel day in and
out, until I don’t.
I went back and looked at my Jackson baby blog. Looks like I
was feeling off starting week 6 and week 7 was the magic week. By week 9, I was
on and off every few days. I’ll take that. Just not every day, ALL DAY long.
YUCK. I noticed with Jackson I was also getting a handful of headaches. Uh-oh.
Is that’s what is next for me? I did stop drinking coffee. Sounds GROSS right
now. Buh-bye caffeine.
This time around I’m getting terrible bubbles of something
in my stomach that are floating up to my sternum. So painful. Maybe heartburn?
Maybe gas bubbles? I don’t know. It hurts!
I just laid down on my tummy in the upstairs training room
at work and could have easily fallen asleep. I’m counting the hours before I
can get home. Maybe we can have leftovers and call it a night?
So tired.
So crabby.
And I woke up to two itchy elbows. They looked like a spider
set up a dinner party. Bites, bumps and then some really big warm-to-the-touch
raised bumps. Trying not to scratch. Not sure what this is about?
One more week until we see the doctor.
I can do this. I can do this.
