Shouldn't have said that to the Pharmacy person....

If that title doesn't get your attention nothing will!

My "morning" sickness is worse than ever, in fact it feels like it gets worse every day.  No I do not actually vomit but I am basically unable to eat anything at all.  I feel super nausiated in general then add in the mere thought of any kind of food and I feel like I will die.  Yesterday I stayed on the sofa almost the entire day literally, thankfully V took such good care of me, he even ran to the grocery store to get me bagels (the only food I can stomach). 
Today though I am super weak, my stomach is sore in general and I ate maybe 400-500 calories then I was driving to run a work errand and started crying in traffic because I felt so awful.  And that was my breaking point.  I called my dr and spoke to my nurse, she didn't even question me (Thank You LORD!) shortly I had an prescription to pick up of Zofran.  Also known as my new best friend.
Flash to the pharmacy 3 hours later, my prescription is not ready....and they are out of the kind that dissolve in your mouth.  I'm thinking "ok, listen I will take anything at this point, give me dog food and tell me it will make me better."  Luckily my issue is not pills, I can take my prenatal no problem it's just FOOD.  An important detail of my story is I am the only person at the pharmacy, I did not stand in line there was no wait.  I finally had to sit down while they figure this out.... thirty minutes, yes THIRTY MINUTES later they need my birth date...again....ok.  Then they need to see my insurance card again....sigh.  Finally forty-five minutes later I have 10 magic little pills that are said to ease my nausea.  HALLELUJAH! 
Oh wait you want me to have a consult with the lead pharmacist?!? Ok.....  So this little woman comes over  "how are you?" me "I've been worse."  her (with blank stare) "good, wait bad, wait......oh your newly pregnant?!?"  cue me rolling my eyes.....and saying "so is there anything you need to tell me about those pills I've been waiting like an hour for?"  She didn't seem too happy but I got my pills and I'm happy to say I took one on the way home from work, 3 hours later I've eaten a little dinner!  Could it be the pills, yes!  Could it be placebo effect, yes!  Do I care which is really is, no!  I'm so so beyond thankful to have a little food feeding me and the babmino! 
So long story short, try not to be a smart ass to the pharmacy people, they control the pills!!!  I hope you had a good laugh at my expense!  Only 6 more days to my third ultrasound and seeing the bambino!

Some Randoms

Sorry I've been a bit MIA lately, this week I was pretty sick ("morning" sickness).  I've learned how to deal with it, mostly with lots saltines and more sleep.  Our babe is worth every moment of nausea etc but it's caused me to be missing in action recently.  So what's been going on?  I'm hear to catch you up!

Overall things are good, V is pampering me quite a bit these days, this morning he did a bunch of chores around the house for me while I sat on the sofa.  Bliss!  V has been saying cute things that show me he's getting more and more excited, it's super cute.  Since we found out so early it sorta feels like we've been pregnant forever!  We have our third (yes THIRD) ultrasound on Nov 1 and hopefully we will see a little blob and hear a heartbeat.  At which point we are telling BIL and SIL, (hopefully they keep their mouths shut!)

Work is great, my boss is super understanding.  She's been traveling a lot, I think after the u/s in just over a week she will want me to do some day trips around the state with her. I'm ok with it, she is so great that I really don't mind.

Fall is officially here, actually the weather is getting much colder.  This week we have a few days where the high is less than 50 degrees.  Yikes!  I'm not ready for snow!  V and I are thinking about driving up to the family cabin for the last time this year.  The roads are really bad way up there and being so near the lake, well on the lake, I am just not cool enough to go up to the cabin in say January.  :)

I only have a friend or two in real life (aka outside of my blog buddies) that know about our little babe.  They have all been so wonderful!  Some of them are on here so I want to give a shout out to you, your calls, emails, thoughts, prayers and mini-hangouts mean the world to me!  But let me not forget my blog buddies!  You guys have been amazing too!  Your comments, thoughts and prayers and those of you I email with mean so very much to me!  I never thought I'd build such great friendships with people I met online but you have enriched my life so very much!  I heart you all!

Ok, well I've got myself all teary-eyed so it's time to get my rear off the sofa and shower.  Happy Saturday peeps!

My body is already no longer mine

Please note the following is merely a list of observations and not complaints, I vow to never complain about my pregnancy, ever, period.

So I am somewhere between 5-6 weeks, since my "morning" sickness has arrived I tend to lean more towards 6 weeks, I hear "morning" sickness arrives about week 6 so that is my basis for this guess.  Anyway my point is that it appears that my body is already no longer mine.  Here is a list of evidence to support my theory, enjoy!  (TMI warning)

1. I have completely lost the ability to go #2 at my own desire, now should the need suddenly arise to go #2 my heart (and body) are overjoyed and I could care less where I am (work, mall, in-laws house etc) as long as there is a toilet.
2. I would rather die than eat almost all of my favorite foods, even the thought of them makes my head spin in sickness.  In fact I went to the grocery store after work last night, that place is now my personal hell.  Please pray that V learns how to cook FAST!
3. I have to select my work attire based on how well my bra fits in the morning, and I immediately change my top when I get home from work because my chest hurts so much from the pressure of my bra.  Looks like I'll be getting new bras much sooner than I expected!
4. By the time bedtime rolls around (now between 7p-9:30pm at the latest)  I am so bloated I can hardly suck in my stomach.
5. When my head is not spinning from "morning" sickness all I want is Mexican food or cereal.  I started this post yesterday, now I want no food what-so-ever, I'm terribly nauseated 80% of the day.
6. I am most frequently sick in the afternoon and evening so the term "morning" sickness is totally B.S.
7. I consider daily how much trouble I could get in for "resting my eyes" in the last hour of my shift at work.
8. I had to remove my belly ring already. I know it sounds silly but I've had it for almost a decade and still really loved it but I worried I might actually forget later....yes my memory is going rapidly as well.

I hope I was able to give you a good laugh!
