13w3d

This morning started out with a good old-fashioned wave of nausea. It's a good thing too, because I was beginning to miss the inside of the toilet bowl. (Please read the sarcasm in that sentence...) After the nausea came the stomach cramping making for a downright wonderful day.

I had to leave work early to go to the daycare appointments, which I SERIOUSLY considered rescheduling, so I just toughed out my morning. I did not throw up again, but I made plenty of trips to the bathroom for other reasons. I felt so ill that I did not eat lunch, just munched on some crackers and prayed for 12:30 to come so I could leave.

I headed for the first daycare, running late as is the norm for me these days, so I didn't get to stop to pick anything up on the way. I wrote about both daycare visits here so I won't re-iterate here. I'll just stick to how I was feeling. During the first visit I did pretty well. The stomach cramping stayed to a minimum and the nausea wasn't too awful.

Once I left there I headed home to try to eat something before the second visit. I pulled out the old standby, my mac & cheese, and was able to eat about half of it before I didn't feel well, and also needed to be going. At the second appointment my stomach did not behave it's self quite as well. I wasn't really all that nauseous but the cramping was back, with a vengeance.

There were moments towards the end where I considered asking the woman where the restroom was, but decided against it. By the time I finally left I knew I was in trouble. I was only two miles from home but was starting to have doubts as to whether I would make it without having an accident.

It will do your hearts good to know, I made it. Although it was a painful ride with me screaming at all the cars in front of me... go faster... must go faster!! For the rest of the afternoon I just laid on the couch and watched Dr. Phil and Oprah. When Jake called and told me he would probably be working late I took that as my cue to head to bed, where I stayed for the rest of my evening!!
