Last week was Spring Break for me and it felt so good to just sleep in. I was sleeping until 10am and sometimes till 11. If you know me, you know this is odd. I wake up at 7am even when I don't have to work. It was very nice & much needed.
I've been feeling so sick since last Thursday. I had to start taking a 3 day dose of antibiotics for a UTI that they found in my prenatal labs. Since then I have felt HORRIBLE. I started running a fever. My fever would break and I would be covered in sweat. I was tired the whole time and very nauseous. Last night Daniel said I was radiating heat. I ended up sleeping with a fan blowing directly in my face. I didn't get much sleep last night. Absolutely nothing seems appetizing to me. I would much rather not eat, but I know that they baby needs food. Today I decided to take the day off of work since I woke up at about 5:30 throwing up. There was nothing to throw up but stomach bile. Disgusting.
But then I went into work to pick up Kate from school(what an easy day) and I ran into one of my old neighbors. I told her I was pregnant and the first thing she said was, 'How do you feel?'. Of course I tell her that I feel like absolute death and she said, "That's a good thing". She told be about a miscarriage she had and that the whole time she was pregnant she never got sick so she just knew something was wrong.
So the whole point of this blog is this. As much as I whine and complain about being sick & so over pregnancy, I truly am thankful and feel so blessed. After talking to my old neighbor today I thought about all of the people that I know having a hard time conceiving and people that have had multiple miscarriages. I can't even imagine how you feel.. And to see me complaining about such a blessing. I'm very sorry. I do not take this for granted. I love this baby growing inside of me so much that it hurts. I know that it will be so worth it in the end.
Saturday I will be 7 weeks. I think I'm already showing. A lot of people are noticing that I'm pregnant if I wear tight clothing. So when I turn 8 weeks, get ready for pics :)
Also, Congrats to Tori & Brandon Bevins. They welcomed baby Olivia into the world. Can't wait to see pics of her. I'm sure she's beautiful!!!
Hey Whitney! I was so so sick in the beginning of my pregnancy! There was some morning I woke up & threw up non stop for hours! But like you, I thought about how lucky I was to even be pregnant! :) It finally got better & I LOVED being pregnant!
