My poor family

OK. So the past 5 weeks my family has really suffered. I recently found out that I am pregnant (after a year of trying) I was really excited to see that positive result (4 x) ( Ya I had to take 2 dollar store tests and 2 digital tests, just to make sure) With Coltin and Conner I was never really "sick". I was more tired than anything else. So here I am thinking I have really easy pregnancies and this one will be the same. I couldnt have been more wrong. This has been the worst by far. The first week (after I found out) I was just tired. really tired. But then started the "morning sickness" or as I like to call it, the "all day sickness". I had vomitted a few times but was more sick to my stomach ALL day long. Its been awful. Then I kept vomitting and being sick. To the point I literally could not get out of bed. I caved in and went to the dr. ( I originally wasnt planning on going till 10-12 weeks or so) but I needed "proof of pregnancy" for insurance purposes and the fact I was so sick, I couldnt take it anymore. I got some meds that "supposedly" help with nausea. But they make me tired, so I can only take it at night and then by 2 in the afternoon it has completly worn off and Im sick again. Im at 8 weeks today,and still miserable. My family has suffered in every which way. I cannot make food (any meal with out feeling queasy and lightheaded) I have NO energy/motivation to pick up my house. Cant leave my house without wanting to puke in the car or wherever i go and IF I am able to go somewhere. I have got to be sitting down. Water makes me sick. Gingerale is even worse. Crackers dont settle my stomach. The only thing I "crave"/can stomach is Greasy/deep fried/fatty foods. I swear Im going to gain 60 lbs this time around. That makes me sick to think like that. On top of all that. about a month ago Bo got this really bad sinus infection and didnt seek help till 2 weeks into it,and finally had to almost force him to go to the ER. He had Sinusitis. Basically a really bad sinus infection. So he was down, couldnt really help me or the boys. Now he has an infected tooth and has had it before, it eventually went away with antibiotics and now has it again, even worse than before and has had it for almost 2 weeks now. He went to the dentist and he gave him antibiotics and antiinflamatory and pain killers. that didnt help. I honestly think his body is immune to them all right now. We dont have Dental Ins. (the boys do, just not Bo and I) so he hasnt been able to get it fixed. He woke up this morning telling me it's worse today than ever and he needs to go have it pulled. So he is going to have that done today. I just feel really bad, cuz he's been out of commission, Ive been out of commission and our boys have not had their parents around so far this summer. Im hoping this will pass and I will feel better soon, so that we can actually have an enjoyable summer. its also just so gosh darn hot here, that it almost impossible to even go outside unless u r in water. Plus the AC in my car really sucks. So the boys get out and they are drenched in sweat. Its awful.

Thats all. Hadnt posted in a while and just thought i'd let everyone know that I am pregnant and whatnot.

I hope your family starts to feel better soon! Don't worry, the boys will be fine. I felt that same way during all 3 pregnancies. I have never puked but always wished I would to get a couple minutes of relief. Water always makes me sick at the beginning and just fixing the kids meals makes me want to die! Then just one day I realize, hey, I have felt ok ALL WEEK! But sadly, that usually happens (for me) around 14 weeks!
I am not kidding, if you need anything, ever. Please call me! Even if you just want me to pick you up some yummy/greasy lunch!!

I feel the exact same way!!! It sucks! But I did get some "Sea Bands" from my sis-in-law that help with nausea and I think they totally help. You can get some from Walgreens I think. Call me we can be sick together!

Carlie!!! I am so sorry, that is totally rotten. When can i bring you dinner?

Keri said...

Yay that you're pregnant! SORRY that it has been such a bad one. Hopefully it won't last long and you'll be feeling back to normal in about a month (as back to normal as you can feel when you're pregnant!). Being sick and pregnant is the worst. I hope Bo feels better soon too!!

Congrats! I hate being sick and pregnant. My fam totally gets neglected during the first trimester of all my pregnancies. They just have to accept it. :) Maybe your so sick cuz it's a girl!
