Feeling icky
Christmas at Grandma Lehmann's was great! I thought I would feel sick since it was later at night but I made it through the night with no major nausous moments. The next morning at Mom and Dad's I didn't do so well. Mom made a breakfast casserole and the smell of eggs got me...BIG TIME! I came home and took a quick 20 minute power nap and then it was off to Brian's parents. I did pretty well there but towards the end I started feeling nausous and uncomfortable.
The day after Christmas is when this whole "morning sickness" which isn't really an accurate name for it, hit a major peak! Brian and I were on a mission to find a 9 foot Christmas tree for an unbeatable price. We thought it would be do-able since the holiday was over. We went to Lowe's, Garden Ridge, Sears, Sams, you name it, we went there. Everything was going great then at 2 o'clock....BAM the bug hit me!
When we got home I laid down and almost started to hyperventilate. I couldn't catch my breath and my heart was racing. I was really freaked out. I couldn't swallow, couldn't breath, and I just ached all over.
This now leads to today. I didn't sleep last night and if I did it was in 45 minute increments. I'm still having problems swallowing (maybe beginnings of strep throat) and I've had incredible urges to go to the bathroom every half hour, which is extremely annoying.
Now for those of you who think I'm complaining let me tell you.... I am. I feel I'm entitled to write all of this down so when the baby comes, I can look back on all this and say "I made it through labor and delivery. Morning sickness was nothing." And then I can laugh at being such a wimp. So let me drown in my wimpy sorrow for now. In a couple of weeks this won't mean a thing as soon as we get to hear the heartbeat and know it's all worth it.  |
