Don't ask how I am able to sit here and type what I am about to say. I am breathing rhythmically so as not to throw up yet also concentrating on what I want to write about. I talked with an old friend today who is still single. She told me that she can't think about getting married because the last relationship she went through was too painful and she doesn't want to do that again. She did mention, after that last statement, that she would sure love to be pregnant. Though I doubt it, Devon, if you are reading this, please continue reading.
The joys of pregnancy: I thought for the last couple of weeks that maybe I wasn't pregnant anymore. I had been gaining weight but had recently seemed to be getting thinner. Odd, I thought, considering all the food I have been eating. Entering the second trimester I delighted in the news that most likely morning sickness would be gone by now and that I would be able to enjoy my pregnancy. I have been on vitamin b6 and half a unisom a day for the last 3 months now and figured, hey... second trimester, I don't need it anymore and why take medication that is unnecessary, especially for the baby.
Yet I should have seen it coming. I was often still nauseated while on the b6 and unisom yet still able to function. I quit taking them Friday night. Two days later I find myself at home, nauseated beyond description, unable to focus on ALL the things that I have to do. Yet, I guess I can get over the bad thoughts of "maybe I'm not pregnant anymore". I'm definitely pregnant and Baby's hormones and mine are raging together to create a monster inside of me.
Moral of the story. Learn all the unpleasantries before getting pregnant and be prepared for them. If your mother was never nauseous that means nothing... trust me.

That stinks that you are so sick...yuck. I hope you're feeling better soon. And its a good thing to know you are still pregnant!
The fun part of being pregnant is that you get to start your own pattern:)
I learned that I may not follow all the same patterns as my mother, but check with your mother-in-law. My pregnancies have followed some of the same patterns as Brent's mom's!! Crazy how that works.
More useless Jeanna trivia: I felt worse when I was pregnant with Sav than with Mack. Maybe that is a girl sign. :) Of course you won't really know how to compare until you have had both a boy and a girl but I was trying to offer hope in the girl direction.
Abbie, I find your posts humorous and unassumingly witty. Keep them coming. And just remember, just because people don't comment on your posts doesn't mean they don't appreciate them. Maybe they just don't understand your candor like I do. :)
