Throwback Thursday

Here are a few more days from my pregnancy e-journal.  The first trimester blahs are almost over, I promise!

May 15^th – 10 weeks

Went to a graduation party.  Was supposed to go to a birthday party in Broken Arrow that night but was worn out & decided not to go.  Was craving french onion dip, so Michael & I went to Reasors.  I ate a ridiculous amount but it was so good.  Started feeling even crappier later that night.  YUCK.  Seriously – someone invent that pod.  I’m ready.

May 16^th

Still feeling pretty bad.  Laid around all day & hoped it would pass.  Ate the rest of the french onion dip for breakfast (healthy!)  Then had some soup for a late lunch.  Starting throwing up mid-afternoon & didn’t stop the rest of the day.  Tried to eat some brown rice & oatmeal raisin cookies for dinner.  Tasted good & I thought I was ok but they eventually came up, too.  After that, nothing stayed down (not even a sip of Sprite or water).  Much movement would cause dry heaving.  YUCK.  I showered & washed my hair out of necessity & hopes of feeling good enough to go to work the next day but then I didn’t have the energy or stomach power to dry my hair.  This is EXTREMELY unusual for me!  My hair does not do well without a hair dryer.  Went to bed with it wet.  When I told Ashley later that’s how bad I was feeling, she said, “Wow, Michael probably should have taken you to the hospital.”  She’s known me since I was 12 & I don’t know if I’ve ever gone to bed with wet hair in the time I’ve known her.  She knew it was serious!

May 17^th

Wasn’t able to go to work.  Called my OBGYN’s office as soon as they opened.  My nurse was out for the day but another nurse called in a prescription for me.  I was able to eat a cracker & drink a sip of water as long as I stayed in bed & didn’t move.  I could do this about every 10-15 minutes & didn’t throw up.  I got up around 10:45 to go to Walgreens to pick up the prescription.  I was fighting the urge to puke the whole time.  I get to the drive through & they tell me they don’t have a prescription for me but it may be on the voicemail.  I went home & called the nurse.  She said she had just left the prescription on their voicemail about 15 minutes ago.  I waited a few minutes & went back to Walgreens.  The prescription was ready, thank goodness.  I sat in the parking lot & let one of the pills dissolve on my tongue.  I had to fight not to puke the whole time.  Then I went to McDonalds & picked up chicken nuggets (ha).  By the time I got home, I was able to eat & didn’t throw up or feel nauseous.  Hurray for the magic pills!  

Doesn't pregnancy sound like fun??  I shudder a little just remembering this time...  That trip to Walgreens (twice) was very miserable!
