12w0d

Well, today did NOT find me dancing a jig!! In fact, this morning I felt pretty crummy!! Jake had to work today, but I took the day off, which I was pretty glad that I did. I managed to snack on a few things throughout the day, but no actual meals did I eat.

Around 4:30 I called Jake to tell him that I did not think that I would be wanting to go to the barbecue at his friends house but if he wanted to go to do so and I would pick him up if he had a few drinks. He said he would probably go, because we had told them we would be there, if I didn't mind. I didn't mind. What was he going to watch me do at home? Lie in bed and feel ill?

Finally at around 6:00 I got this wave of energy. I suddenly felt like things were normal again. I got out of bed and decided to do a little more work in the office. I remember sitting in the office chair thinking, it's 12 weeks today, maybe this is it. It was it alright, but not the it I was hoping for.

My burst of energy lasted about 30-45 minutes followed by a huge wave of nausea. I hadn't been ill in 2 days so I thought maybe I could just breathe through it. Of course I was kidding myself. After that all I wanted to do was go to bed, but I still had to pick up Jake. I knew that they wanted to watch fireworks at his friends house and since there was nothing he could do for me besides watch me be sick I didn't want to make him come home.

So I waited and tried to eat a few crackers. Finally at 10:00 I headed over to get him. I think he had only had a few beers but with it being the 4th of July weekend I didn't want him to risk it. The nausea stayed at bay on the drive over there, but was not so pleasant on the way home. We got stuck in traffic as the fireworks had just gotten over. Luckily I still had a couple of the peanut butter crackers in my car from Friday night and so I ate those and was able to make it home and fall into bed.
