Vomit

Catchy title, eh? I thought it was fitting since I seem to have not just morning sickness, but afternoon and evening sickness as well. This week has been completely miserable.....much worse than it was with Abby. I've also had to cover the phones at work since the receptionist is off, so that doesn't help. Being chained to a desk when you feel like throwing up every 5 minutes isn't very pleasant! Luckily, many people at work have been very helpful. I'm eating non-stop to keep the nausea at bay. I'll pretty much eat anything and everything at this point that sounds good. I stopped exercising for now b/c Monday, I threw up 10 minutes into it. lol. Not good! I really don't want to get out of control with my eating since I've worked so hard to lose weight, so at some point, I need to start watching it a little. Hopefully it will be easier to do once I get past the first trimester.

We're finally getting our Christmas tree tonight. My in-laws got us a storage unit, so we've been waiting to get that set up so we can move some stuff into it and make room for the tree. Thanks to Abby, we have so much more stuff in our living room than we did last year. I know it's only going to get worse with a second baby. Oh, to be independently wealthy and afford a bigger house!

So, my evenings have pretty much consisted of gagging, laying on the couch, and going to bed at 8:30. Now, the way I feel, I could go to bed much earlier, but that's forcing myself to stay up that late. I'm just exhausted and sick and after working all day, all I want to do is go to bed! Okay, I'll try to stop complaining now.

I still need to get my Christmas cards printed up. I was going to have Dawn take Abby's picture since she takes such good ones, but with the way I feel lately, I don't have the energy to go anywhere after work, so I may just try and take it this weekend and hope I get a decent one.

Well, I hope you all are well and surviving the Christmas season! Love you all!

Holy Crap!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not about the vomitting part (I feel for ya, hon) but the baby part... oh wow! Try some B6 (?? I think that's the right B vitamin), it helped some with Claire, but I still had to get a script from doc. Oh man, I am just in shock yet. God definitely has big plans for you. I have more thoughts on this but I'll have to email you. Love you love you love you!

PS You look fabulous!

Sorry you've been sick. I'd go with Josy and get a prescription for it. You don't want to be like this for the next three months.

We're sending "new years" cards! lol! Why do that in all the rush...just procrastinate!

Lots of Love!
