Update on how I feel at 14weeks and 5 days
Just a little update on how I've been feeling lately. I feel better then I did at 8 weeks, but that's not saying much considering throwing up was something I did on a daily basis. Now my nausea is just completely random. I can feel fine one day and be throwing up the next for no rhyme or reason. I still have to take Zofran(nausea and vomiting medicine) religiously every 5 hours or else I will find myself over the toilet, and sometimes Zofran can't even rescue me from worshiping the porcelain goddess. For the most part everyday is like a roller coaster - I could feel good in the morning and feel bad in the evening or just the opposite. I could feel fine one day then spill my beans the next. I wish I could say I feel great and I'm back to normal but I'd be lying. I still hate the thought of food and struggle with keeping what I eat down. I still think there is hope for me to get over my dependence on Zofran to make it through the day, but if I'm sick through out the whole pregnancy then I am sick through out the whole pregnancy and luckily for me pregnancy doesn't last forever and I end up with something amazing to show for it. I hear this a lot, "but you feel better then you did...right?" Well, yes- I no longer feel like I'm dying=), do I feel anywhere like normal or even good? Most of the time no. Now I know what your thinking, I sound so negative and I should be enjoying the "sweet joys" of pregnancy. What I have to say in return, if you consider spending most days throwing up and feeling sick a "sweet joy" then good for you. My "sweet joy" will be when they place my little one in my arms for the first time. Now I know what they mean when they say everyone's pregnancy is deferent. So, can I say pregnancy thus far for me has been enjoyable, honestly not really. Does that take away my excitement for the life that lies within me- not one bit! Do I still feel completely blessed and thankful-absolutely. Would I do this all over again-you bet! =)

You are a strong woman, Tonya, and I honestly do not know how you do it...but that just makes you stronger.
Just picture us one day, sick and pregnant, with two year olds running around...doing the dishes, on the phone, and planning dinner all at the same time.
If anyone can do it....it'll be YOU!!!! =)
