gag-puke-moan (and repeat to infinity)
Yup. The title of this post is pretty much how its going right now. The Prometrium is making me soooooooo sick. Seriously. I had to pretty much hold back the vomit until I could get to the bathroom between classes today. Thank God the first trimester is during this wonderful holiday season, so we get lots of time off from school. I could not do this nonstop. next week we have the whole week off for Thanksgiving, so we are going to go to my family's home in Nashville, TN. I am excited to see them, but anxious about my nausea making me carsick. Fortunately, we have a car DVD player so that will be a good distraction for Andrew in the event we have to pull over.Speaking of Andrew, he can SO tell something is going on. He is super-clingy these days and acts as if he wants to crawl back in the womb. He said his first sentence: I want my momma! So sweet. When I am home and throwing up, he runs into the bathroom and flushes the toilet for me. My little helper. I was so afraid he would be freaked out by the vomit, but - in true little boy fasion - he is fascinated and only wants to help clean up. Hehe.
My first ultrasound is Friday afternoon. Praying with every breath that there's a little living, healthy little one in there. (I had better not be doing all this vomiting for nothing!) For now, I cherish every moment he/she is with me and pray for the best. I will post an u/s update ASAP but we won't be home until late on Friday...The appt is at 1:30 pm and then we are going to Atlanta to watch a Hawks (NBA) game. (We got free tickets.)
For now, though, its gag-puke-moan and repeat.
