Burp, Burp, Uggggggg

I did tell you we are on a count down right? 3 days until ultimate DOOM.  Today was pretty bad though. This morning I was ironically ok. I made it into school just fine but after an hour I had to pop a double dose of zofran to just make it through class without vomiting and to make the room stop spinning. I guess the peanut butter sandwich I had really did not sit well. I kept burping up peanut butter. So, second period I slept in the nurses room for about 30 minutes. When I woke up I actually felt WORSE! Ug. My para took pity on me and grabbed all my kids who were overdue in taking an exam and made excuses to their other teachers for me. I hate teaching 45 minute classes. Bring back the block! oh well.

Today is also science fair. I have 2 little "birds" who have an excellent project but are so disorganized. I've tried the best I can with them but at this point - Fly my little birds!

That's how rumors get started...

 

"It isn't the people that build tall buildings that do the greatest deeds in life, but it is the ones who will stop everything to give love. It is the ones who will bear the burden of fatigue, insecurity, worry, and fear for their little one. It is the ones who will cry to God for help." --Sara's Mom

I saw this on facebook today and I love it. I feel like I needed to bring you something today other than complaints and misery. I certainly am not cooking and my crafts are all in the half done process. Seriously, I have about 10 blankets in process. L messed with the settings on my sewing machine yesterday so now the stitches are wacky and I don't know why.  We're going to have to go live soon with this blog. I've been wearing these sea bands all week and everyone is beginning to take notice. My students thought they were so gross they wanted to try them on (they leave a big indent between the tendons). My female coworkers whom have had children before caught on to them right away.  SO.. I feel we need to tell our family and then our friends. It seems only fair. I can't have my coworkers know and not our family. Although I know my family will be much more affected if the unthinkable happens. And it could happen. It happens to women all the time. But, I'm 6 weeks and I guess the percentage for miscarriages drops to 5% possible this week through week 12. Just keep that in mind everyone! Just because I am pregnant now does not guarantee a baby in 8 months. If God wants her back, he will take her. And yes I am pretty confident we are having a girl. I have very little reason for my prediction other than my early french toast cravings and just feeling like things are developing much higher up this time around.

Ok, so how do I feel? Like crap. This morning was bad. I didn't throw up thanks to modern medicine. The zofran let me recoup before the 40 minute drive in to work on the beltway. I dread that drive the day the meds don't work. Poor DH would have to take me. He is already back to getting all my food taken care of for me now. He's also taking care of L more now as well. I just can't after work. The sea bands were able to keep me well enough to eat the rest of the day but my appetite is way down from yesterday. Ah the slow plunge into ultimate DOOM.

Day 2, better

Better day today. Obviously. That's why my title says "Day2, better". I woke up just fine this morning but had to put the bands on and wait an hour before I could really eat anything. Took the bands off in the middle of the day and then put them back on at the end. Coworker noticed the bands and immediatly guessed my little secret. Oh well. I am so thankful that I am still getting hungry lately. In fact I ate an entire sub from subway tonight. Actually, I inhaled in. And now I am paying for it. I also had to take the colace today:( I will leave it at that).

Day 1, not quite Doom yet

 

Today is my official day 1 of true nausea. And, guess what? I am 6 weeks along today. I figured this week would be controllable nausea and next week true Doom would hit. So far I am right on. This morning I woke up nauseated. I tried to eat some bread and just couldn't do it. I woke up and immediately put on the sea bands. No dice. I had to make it out the door to drop L off at daycare and still get in to work on time. DH packed my lunch bag for me. I decided I needed a zofran to keep from vomiting in the car on the way to school. It was touch and go for about 10 minutes but the zofran kicked in and I felt ok. By the time I made it to school I was actually hungry. I ate a full breakfast there and didn't need to take any more pills all day. The sea bands seemed to do the trick. I did have some brief nauseous moments, but pushing on the bands helped.

This is what I mean by not true Doom. True doom requires immediate vomiting in the morning, full day barely controllable nausea and no appetite. We're not there but I think I can count on getting the nausea after today's experience. Ug.

By mid-afternoon I also had a raging headache. IDK why. When I got home I took the sea bands off so that I can reset if I need to. I don't plan on sleeping with them on either. So far, about an hour later I am ok. Hopefully I can get the peanut in bed early tonight so I can go to sleep.
