So who ever came up with morning sickness? It is more like 24/7 sickness and for me it progresses throughout the day. After lunch it just goes downhill and after dinner you can just forget about me wanting to do anything, but lie around trying not to dry heave and end up staring at toilet water. ewwh. I had to work last weekend and since I work in the evenings you guessed it I had to visit the public restroom! What could be worse than that to cause more dry heaving. I don't remember having much morning sickness with my other two kids. I think I just felt tired and blah. SOoo just maybe it's a girl?:) However, Caleb wants nothing but a boy. haha.

Most of the time I just feel nauseated which causes me to want to eat. So I eat it works until I am done eating so then I want to eat again. I fear my weight. I put in more than I lose! Oh and salt makes me feel better, Chris could you get me a bowl of potato chips!

But I do crave fruit and apples and juice helps too. I need to go shopping to buy some fruit. I've heard lemon juice works.




I went to the Dr. on Monday and had my labs drawn. After 5 vials! OOHH I almost passed out! I looked at the lab tech and said I don't feel well and she said you don't look it! Stay put. I was sweating up a storm and had my head between my legs. She gave me a cold rag and some orange juice. After awhile I felt a little better, but she said my pupils weren't normal yet. I felt bad for those waiting their turn so I sat out in the hallway until I felt I could walk and drive home. I even ate breakfast that morning and didn't even watch, but I think my brain just says "hey I need that blood! shut down, shut down."
I got so much stuff from the Dr. visit that I told them I needed a backpack to carry it all home. I have been taking over the counter Prenatals from Costco. They work great for me. However, they want me to take expensive prescription prenatals and gave me free samples to try. I compared the ingredients and they are almost the same! Infact, mine have more vitamins. Okay so it has 800 mcg of folic acid compared to the 1000 mcg but pregnant woman only need 400 mcg. So I will take this up with my doctor next time. Most prescriptions make you sick. My previous doctor told me it was fine to take the over the counter ones and my babies were healthy.

Anyhow, I am grateful Caleb has so many friends so that he goes to play and I can take a nap with Jacob.


I don't want to do anything and have so much to do. I have YW in Excellence tomorrow night (I am now the 1st Counselor in YW), and I have to teach preschool Thursday, and my house needs to be cleaned!

This too shall pass, hopefully sooner than later, but I will be grateful cause it means things are progressing well and the hormones have kicked in.
