Dear Fetus, Cut Me Some Slack Here!

This pregnancy is kicking my butt.

I am so sick and throwing up everyday.

Camden has pretty much been left to fend for himself most days, and as for the house, well... let's not talk about that.

I am ten weeks pregnant now, and hoping I start to feel better in the next few weeks. I am feeling totally miserable and sometimes can't remember why I willingly did this to myself again.

I was sick when I was pregnant with Camden, but this time it is very different. I am not nauseas really, it feels more like I have the flu. My stomach is always just so upset. And this time around, it is so unpredictable. With my first, I was nauseas all day everyday, and then it would get really bad at night. This time, I have days where it's not so bad-I feel like I can actually get out of the house and run errands and get things done. Then on other days, I can hardly get out of bed or off the bathroom floor and I'm throwing up every thirty minutes. I used to think there was some sort of pattern and I had figured it out, but that was only true for like ten days and then it changed again. So now I'm clueless again. I have Zofran - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I try to eat - sometimes it helps, most of the time it doesn't. I have lost a couple pounds already. Plus, I am feeling so weak. So weak, that I have to sit down while I shower, and probably another reason why the housework doesn't get done. On days when I actually feel well enough to get out of bed, I have absolutely no energy to do anything. Changing the laundry from the washer to the dryer is exhausting. Is the first trimester over yet???

I am so lucky that Camden is such a good boy. I can leave him to entertain himself and I don't have to worry about him doing things he shouldn't be. He is so great at playing by himself - although, he has watched A LOT of t.v. the last five weeks. But... he is alive, and that's all I can promise these days.

I had my first doctor's appointment three weeks ago. I had been trying to decide what doctor I wanted to use, but after having my appt with Dr. Holmes, I think I'm going to stick with him. I really liked him. He did an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy and heartbeat and everything looked great.

Jason is finished with school for the semester (yay!) and Camden has his last day of school on Thursday. We have a fun summer ahead, so I hope this sickness goes away before all the fun happens!
