hello there sweet baby growing...
I had to leave work again today. A couple of weeks ago I had a vomit- view- and- go- policy where if I vomited at all, I went home. Now I have elevated it to a two vomit per day limit. This means making it through one vomit is fine and then if it happens again, then I go home. Today was on the line because all I did was gag up a few chunks of my breakfast, then an hour later I lost it all. That is really a 1.5 vomit but I have a healthy bank of PTO so I took a little latitude.
Today I was talking to a friend that called to see how I was doing- she was my walking partner for weeks before I found out I was pregnant and we also did a marathon together this year. I realized when I talked to her why I have not had a complete and utter meltdown about still being sick after 7 weeks of everyday nausea. The answer is a marathon-- I know that I am only at mile 6 or 7 and so breaking down emotionally right now will not help me, not help the baby, and not help those in this with me-- namely my husband who gets everything for me, the people I work with who want me to bounce in one day and say that I feel great and my family, who love me and want to hear I am finally enjoying myself and thinking about the future. This here blog is officially the only "forward minded" item in my entire life. Everything else I am doing is for a current moment of comfort in order to help a baby grow right now.
I cannot wait to feel well and I pray that I have that news by next week's entry.
