I am fourteen weeks as of this last Saturday, During week 7-10 I would look online to see when I would finally gain a reprieve from all of this and it said alot of womens morning sickness eased around week 12! I hung on to that through all the throwing up, constepation, doctor appt, and dizzy spells. Week 12 came and went with one day of no throw up. I wont lie, I definately got my hopes up till the next day. It was a 10+ throw up day (those are the worse cause you can't get it under control till you just fall asleep at the ebd of the day) Since week 12 my vomiting has been significantly lower which I am eternally grateful for. I am able to drink water and keep it down for the most part, eating is still tricky I have to pick and choose still which food i do and don't want to see coming back up later. BJ is really great with everything, every morning he leaves me things to snack on on our bed till I can get up and about enough to get something for myself. This includes an activia, gogurt, bottle of water for my pills, ritz crackers, and a smucker uncrustable. :) he cleans up after my rounds with the toliet weather I made it in or not, and he cleans up after alot of other unspeakables that happpen when pregnant. I have NO shame now.
Yesterday was another day of hardship. I can't help but feel down but im really trying to stay positive. I have lost alot of my clients, but its hard to explain to all of them, "hey I can't stop throwing up, I can't stand up with out throwning up, I can't eat with out throwing up, I can't not eat with out not wanting to throw up, I can't even take care of myself most days how am I suppose to drive 6 hours to nampa and work on my feet all day doing hair for a week?" Its tough and they don't understand but I guess I have to have faith that Heavenly Father knows more than I, and this is all for a reason.
We're planning on going to Nampa on th 28th for my cousin's reception with my sister Amanda and her husband, Chris. I really hope that by then I can stand on my own two feet for more than five min at a time and the queezy stomach business will all be gone. I really could use a good time.
BJ made me cake last night!
Hey Stacy- I met you at Dawnly's blessing. I am a friend of Jaimes and BJ. I just read your post and hopefully have some uplifting news. My pregnancy was just like yours. I had a pic line (perminate IV) until I was 20 weeks. After the 20 weeks I was much better. I totally get the desire to enjoy eating!! And living in the toilet bowl. I lost 20 lbs too. In 3 weeks if I remember correctly. I hated rotting on the couch. My mom finally took me to super cuts just to wash my hair since it had been a month!!! Anyway- if you ever want to vent to someone who totally understands I am all ears. Jaime has my cell #. Good luck!!!
