Blah, Blah, Blah

From the sound of this title you pretty much know where I am going with this. This weekend was very hard on me. I am still feeling rather nasty this morning too. How can something that is only about an inch long make me feel so nasty? Mystery. I hate feeling nauseated. I would rather go through labor than feel this way. I am currently trying every home remedy imaginable. If that doesn't work then my next step is prescription medication. I really don't wanna go there. I don't take so much as a Tylenol when I am preggo. I don't care how bad my head hurts. I have been getting some good advice from people on how to cope with this. My Mom's advice has been the best yet. The lemons are really helping in the form of lemonade. Blow Pops have been good too.

My loving husband pretty much "took over" this weekend. He orchestrated the kids into doing a lot of things around the house. I could only lay back and observe with my nauseated, pregnant self. He cooked dinner Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I could barely eat what he made because it was all "Southern Soul Food" AKA lots of salt, fat content and spice. Those are 3 things that I cannot tolerate right now. But I managed to eat enough and not have to get rid of it later. I am hoping that in a few weeks this chapter of my pregnancy will come to an end and I will start feeling like my old self again.

Chris is back to work today and I have all 5 of the kids alone. Believe it or not, I was the first one awake. Yesterday I didn't crawl out of bed until 11 am. I figured I may as well beat them to it. I have already eaten so I hope I feel better soon. One thing I have noticed about my last 3 pregnancies is that I have had this horrendous morning sickness in the wintertime. That just adds to the blah feeling.

Sorry you're feeling blah :( ... I didn't realize you were blogging this much. I'll have to bookmark it.
