On A Mission

My last 3 weeks have been plagued with severe nausea. Morning sickness, inappropriately named, let us part ways sooner than later. This pregnancy has felt the worst so far in the nausea department, but I am certain, it is because I now raise 4 kids while being pregnant. Not an easy job. I have no motivation for anything because all I can think about is how any minute I am going to throw up. How do I give a spelling test when I can't speak? Ahhhhh!

With my other pregnancies I had drugs to make this easier. Well, those drugs are no longer available. I have found a website where you can make your own version using vitamins and over the counter meds that are safe for pregnancy. So I am on a mission to make my own! I took just the vitamin portion today and I have to say I think I see some difference. The intensity has definitely died down. I no longer fear being more than 5 feet from the bathroom and that is a big improvement.

Up until this point, my standby foods and drinks that usually work on my nausea, are NOT working. I can't tolerate anything carbonated. What is that all about? NO COKE! That was my number one anti-nausea drug! And Ginger Ale. Yuck. Again, it's a carbonated thing. Lemons, no go. Crackers, blah! I am losing hope here people. Ginger tea... nada. Chamomile tea... are you kidding me? Mint.... tastes like medicine. And don't get me started on what I can't smell.

Last night, I had one glimmer of hope. One small beacon of light, when I ordered a cinnamon crunch bagel from Panera with cream cheese and it actually tasted good and I didn't throw it up. PROGRESS! Praying for much, much more. And energy. I. AM. A. COUCH. POTATO. The end.
