Some have said I've a flair for the dramatic,
but it does feel a bit like being in hell. Morning sickness that is. The kind that sends you to the ER with severe dehydration. It happened the same way with the second pregnancy, so I naively thought I'd be spared the same this time around. I was wrong. So wrong. It hit me last Thursday morning as my friends were packing to go back home. After they left, I put the kids in bed and tucked myself back in. For the entire weekend, I couldn't manage to keep down ice chips. Yesterday, when my fingers and toes curled under and my legs cramped and collapsed as I tried to walk for the millionth time to the bathroom, I realized I needed to go in. Three bags of fluid and a prescription of Zofran later, I was back home and back in bed. Today, I have managed to keep all of my food and liquids in and am slowly beginning to feel like a human being again. I swear that drug is truly a miracle! I was 28 weeks with the last pregnancy before I could keep my lunch down...here's to hoping it doesn't take that long this time around.
