Am I sick already? Isn't this a
little early to be getting sick?
Thursday, August 29
Definitely not too early to be
getting sick.
Friday, August 30
Frantically begin searching for my
leftover Zofran from my last pregnancy.
Sunday, September 1: Fast Sunday
Sneak the snacks from my purse into
my mouth at church so people don't get suspicious.
Monday, September 2: 6 weeks
pregnant
Miraculously survive a hike to a
waterfall, then crash on the couch the rest of the day.
Tuesday, September 3
Grocery shopping. Nothing looks
appetizing. Bought hardly anything knowing I'll have to make another trip later
in the week. Who cares.
Thursday, September 6
Second trip to the grocery store
this week. Purchased mostly frozen foods.
Friday, September 7
Picked up my Zofran prescription.
Manna from heaven.
Sunday, September 8
Survive three hours of church.
Tuesday, September 10: 7 weeks

Threw up while making breakfast.
Breakfast was postponed.
Wednesday, September 11
Laid down after dinner wishing I
could throw up. Never threw up.
Thursday, September 12
Cut up a package of chicken and made
a dinner from raw meat. I deserve a gold medal.
Friday, September 13
Absolutely cannot even stand the
thought of cooking tonight. Take-out it is.
Saturday, September 14
Muster up the energy to do the two
mile hike to Silver Falls (with no pressure from Ben. I was dying to get out of
the house). Walk at a one mile per hour speed with Ben patiently trailing at my
side. Buy myself an Italian soda at the bottom as a reward. Crash on the
couch the rest of the day.
Sunday, September 15
Survive three hours of church. Are
we seeing a pattern here?
Monday, September 16: 8 weeks
pregnant
How am I going to survive 2+ more
months of this?
Tuesday, September 17
I can't even stand to look at my
Pinterest feed because of the pictures of the food.
Wednesday, September 18
By trial and error I discover that
drinking soda after dinner is the worst idea ever.
Thursday, September 19
I've decided to never get pregnant
again, ever. EVER.
Friday, September 20
Coldstone Ice Cream makes everything
better. Maybe we will have more children.
Sunday, September 21
Nayeli decides not to nap until
5:30 pm. I think I'm going to move to Australia.
Monday, September 23: 9 weeks
The move to Australia can be
postponed for the time being. Nayeli napped at 1pm.
Tuesday, September 24
Buy a large jar of pickles from the
grocery store.
Wednesday, September 25
The jar of pickles is gone. I
sincerely thought that craving was a joke until now.
Thursday, September 26
Find a week old sippy cup full of
milk under the couch. Know I do not have the physical strength to withstand the
smell if I open the lid. Into the garbage it goes.
Friday, September 27
Cried during a Infant Tylenol commercial
today- both times that it came on. Hormones, anyone?
Monday, September 30: 10 weeks
Ultrasound in one week. I'm
practically counting the hours to know if this baby has a heartbeat.
Wednesday, October 2
Realize I haven't watered my patio
plants in weeks. They are all dead. I can't decide if I care or not.
Monday, October 7
Ultrasound. Bouncing baby with a
great heartbeat. All the sickness is worth it.
Tuesday, October 15
Cry to Ben asking, “How did I ever forget how awful this is?” He
responds, “I don’t know how you could forget. I never did”.
Monday, October 21: 13 weeks
Finally have the energy to clean
Nayeli's room which has been a mess for two+ months. Also get the grimy
bathroom cleaned this week. I am finally starting to feel like myself.
Monday, October 28: 14 weeks
I survived the first trimester! And
I did it without caffeine! I buy myself a Dr. Pepper to celebrate and spend the
night throwing up.
Thursday October 31
Happy Halloween! Invited to a
friend's house for dinner where they have delicious orange juice. I drink more
than my fair share. Spend the night throwing up.
Tuesday, November 5: 15 weeks
Get to hear baby's heartbeat again.
I am so happy to be pregnant.
Monday, November 11: 16 weeks
I finally feel like I'm reaching
normality again. Hallelujah.
Thursday, November 14
Morning sickness? Oh it wasn't
soooo bad.
Yeah right. Don't think I'll be
thinking that anytime soon. Although by the time I'm ready to have another baby
I'm sure I'll have forgotten. Good thing too. Otherwise, I might never have
anymore children.
I'm laughing so hard!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! That is great! You are a great writer Athena! I will NEVER forget how awful morning sickness is! I get sick just thinking about it!!
ReplyDeleteSo I laughed out loud reading this whole thing and my hubby heard me so I told him what I was reading and he said he totally agrees with Ben! He didn't forget how sick I was but I did. I can so totally relate to this!! I actually think I'll keep a log on mine, but I'll have to include all the milk of molasses enemas my husband gave me on Wednesdays and Sundays in order to somewhat go to the bathroom and I don't know if that will be funny or gross to people. But I totally remember how miserable food was. All food. I couldn't even go to the store or look at Pinterest either. And I threw away sippies with milk in them too! I remember when I was prego with Kallan, I found a bag of rotting potatoes in the back of a cupboard we had forgotten about and the smell was so bad I didn't use anything from that cupboard for two days until Buck could clean them out. I just left them! Ha so gross but I couldn't do it. I'm glad you're starting to feel better though :) I can't wait to hear what you're having. And I'm not pregnant now, I meant I will have to log my next one haha
