Even with the new meds I am on, I still do not feel well at all. This newest one makes me super sleepy and gives me a headache so I tried to stretch out the doses and ended up throwing up again. I was in a pretty bummer mood last night so I told Seth,
"I had a hell of a time getting pregnant and now a hellish time being pregnant!"
He laughed and said I should write that on my blog because it is funny. I can't catch a break.
It's hard to complain when you wanted something for so long, but it's been a very rough week. Today I am finally feeling somewhat okay. Like I may be able to get the laundry done and possibly even walk on the treadmill. The walk on the treadmill is high hopes as I have only done 20,717 steps in the past 7 days. I usually do over 10,000 steps a day which tells you how little I have been able to move.
We are supposed to go to a family reunion in Colorado in a couple days and I am very nervous to travel with the way I feel. Hopefully today's current okay state stays and we can have a good time.
*Of course all this pain and discomfort will be worth it once we have our babies, but it's definitely been and will be quite the long road to get them here.
Carlie, you are completely allowed to complain about how crappy you feel. I was super sick with Crew (in fact I was way more sick with him than with my second) and maybe it was because I had never been pregnant and it was new to my body so the second time around my body remembered and I could handle it better...or maybe it was because he was a boy...who knows. Either way, it sucks to feel that crappy. And you are allowed to complain. No meds really worked for me either and I learned what foods were better to throw up than others and I knew when I would throw up so I was prepared. It's just something you will get through and hopefully you will start to feel better at some point (for me it was 17 weeks with Crew and 18 weeks with Brooke). Just hang in there...you will feel better and more like yourself...it just takes time. For your trip see if you can get some barf bags from the hospital or doctors office (it'll save your car...trust me!!) and with the phenergan you are taking, it makes you super sleepy so try to just take it at night. Good luck girl...it's worth it but it's a hard road to get there! You've got this.

Wow! You truly have been on one hell of a ride! I guess your kids will be sweet angels and make it all worth it though! I sure hope you continue to feel better and have fun in Colorado! You are always in our thoughts and prayers! Love you! Mom
