I promised myself I wouldn't complain during this pregnancy, because we've waited and hoped for it for so long.
Heck with that.
Right now, as I write this, I feel like my stomach is eating itself...like REALLY eating itself, in order to get nourishment..... Because it's STARVING....but at the same time, it hates food.
Some days it will tolerate a cheese sandwich for breakfast, but that's it.
Some mornings it wants chili.
One day it yelled at me for a sausage McMuffin
The next it was a burger, fries and a shake
The next day, handfuls of potato chips,
the next day all it would let me eat were cookie dough truffles.
And one day, I don't think I ate anything at all.
At this point, all I'm after is calories. I don't care where they come from.
I'm so starving/tired/starving that all I can do is lay there.... and most days, Jordan will come home to a disaster area and won't be able to find me for a while because I've plopped down on a random bed or floor somewhere to rest.
My parenting skills have deteriorated to almost nothing and my children have watched more tv over the past month than they have in their entire lives. If I had my way they'd be in bed by 6 pm...because I can't deal with the fighting, or the whining, or their constant needs. I feel like I'm constantly getting drinks of water...cleaning their junk off the floor, and wiping poopy butts.
And peeing.
I want my mom.
And a maid.
That's all for now. :)

Thank you for the update! Although I wish we lived closer so I could be of some assistance. You don't sound like your normal, cheerful self. That being said, I still want to hear it all!! I will pray for you, that you will feel better soon. Have you asked a Dr. for any morning sickness remedies?? (I hear there are things that help??!!) Good Luck and sending all our Love!
ReplyDeleteBecci has told me you're really sick. I was deadly ill with Taryn (in and out of the hospital) and just super sick with this one. The doctor gave me Zofran and it is amazing! It completely takes away the feeling of being nauseous. I also drink a lot of gatorade for calories.
ReplyDeleteI hope you start to feel better!
Thanks guys :)
ReplyDeleteJen I appreciate your sympathy. I haven't looked too much into any remedies yet :)

I had no idea you were that sick! I bet you can't wait for this second baby to finally make it's entrance--
We should play sometime. You know where to find me (at Becci's) Haha.
Oh Christina. I'm so sorry. Does it help to know that I know EXACTLY how you feel. Physically and emotionally and I hated poopy butts too. I still hate poopy butts!
ReplyDeleteBut, I love you and pray for you.
Aunt Kelly. :)
Oh, get a blessing from your man. That was the only thing that brought me any comfort at all!
ReplyDeleteoh how sad- I hate when you get sick pregnant. Although I was always lucky in terms of sickness. Thank goodness for television.
ReplyDeleteWish we still lived nearby so I could help out! I TOTALLY know how you're feeling - this is exactly what I went through with Kian. I felt like such a slug and poor Declan got a bit neglected :-( I ended up almost to the point of dehydration and finally gave in and got a prescription for Zofran. But there are a ton of "holistic" remedies out there that worked really well too. Sour hardcandies and fresh ginger were the key for me. Here's a site I nearly lived by... http://www.childbirthsolutions.com/articles/pregnancy/morningsick/index.php
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how we forget all this and want another baby so quickly! Sorry you are so sick. Get through the first trimester and it should get better!
ReplyDeleteoh man, I feel your pain C! The first 5 months of my last pregnancy was horrible! One day I felt so bad that my mom almost called and ordered a pizza to be delivered to my house so that my kids would have something to eat! I am sorry and I wish I lived closer to help you out. But I am so happy for you guys! Congrats!
