One more time
So, as anybody who peeks into this mess of a blog knows (including long-lost aunts), being pregnant has made me sick. Sniffly sneezing coughing sick, with added side effects of what I like to call ‘linked biological functions’. One of these links is a link between coughing and vomiting.
However! Yesterday afternoon I started feeling actual nausea, much like back in the good old morning sickness days. Except it wasn’t just some of the time. I managed some toast last night before bed, and I choked down a bread roll earlier today, but more recently, even a cracker was too much. It was bad. In fact, I don’t know that I’ve had this kind of stomach upset since I was a small child. I’m trying hard to stay hydrated, and inject calories when I can, because I’m starving. If it goes on another day or two, I will probably have to call a nurse and find out what to do to prevent my body from doing something horrible related to the pregnancy. Meanwhile, I’m drinking miso soup and ginger tea and water and trying to be very very careful how I move. And also being bored. Chores are piling up. Errands need to be run. I guess maybe I’ll order groceries online from Safeway and renew library books online as well, in case I don’t feel better tomorrow.
Something upstairs is beeping like it needs a battery replaced. I wonder if I’ll lose my mind or something else before I find it.
