Yesterday was a very "off" day in addition to being shopping day. I didn't sleep well night before last (probably because of napping on Mother's Day :-/), so I started the day tired and dragging, as well as nauseous, gaggy, and headachy. I muscled through and went to Topeka, got some maternity clothes at a consignment store (Mommy and Me), got some big pots and some potting soil for a container garden this summer, and got groceries at Aldi's and Dillon's. By the time I got home, I was feeling so bad, I just got the cold stuff put away and then flopped on the couch until John got home a couple hours later. I managed to pull together chicken chow mein (pre-fab, of course) for dinner and then hit the couch again until bedtime. I was hungry again, so before getting dressed for bed, I had a bowl of mini-wheats cereal. After getting dressed for bed, I coughed and gagged... and then evvvverything came back up. :( It was pretty violent. :-/ Poor, dear, sweet John came running into the bathroom and held my hair back for me, then got me damp paper towels to wipe my face, got me a glass of water, and then told me not to worry about cleaning it up (TMI, but the first round of puking was so forceful it splashed all over the counter wall and the floor by the toilet)... so he cleaned it up for me. I was so grateful, but so sorry for him!! It was a "bonding experience". :) I was a bit frustrated to have to eat again (lol), but I knew I wouldn't sleep on a completely empty stomach; so I had a bowl of oatmeal and ate it very carefully. :)
Most thankfully, I slept very well last night and feel so much better today!! I already have the third load of laundry in and finally got the graduation dress I'm working on cut out this afternoon. I am trying not to overdo it, because it is still really easy to do that, but SO glad to feel 75% human again. :D
I am hoping that yesterday was "last hurrah" of feeling yucky, a forceful farewell to the first trimester... God willing! According to the sonogram dates, I am 13 weeks today.
On a side note, I posted this announcement on Facebook this afternoon. :) (Thanks to Mary for the design work!)
