well-- I continue to feel nausea in waves all day long. It has been four weeks now that I have felt bad almost all the time. It is tough to do more than get through a work day and lay around the rest of the time. I would not say that I have been completely robbed of my joy as I am very excited about being pregnant and becoming a mum. However, for right now-- the excitement is muffled. I have had some days that were so tough that I did not make it to work- which is really foreign to me. It feels like a mixture of seasickness and a bad hangover that won't go away. Also, while I am on the negative, I'll state that my worst issue is smells. Everything in the world smells so bad that I just can't believe it. I want to wear a shield over my face but would not know what that shield would smell like. CDA ( Casa de Amma, where I work) smells so bad and every square foot is a new bad smell. So, I not only have to fight through getting ready, get to work, pretend that I feel great to the residents, feel bad that I continue to feel bad around the staff who want so much for me to feel better and then I have to walk through smell after smell in each different apartment. AAAHHHH!!!!

Anyway-- on top of this, I have a prescription for nausea that I am not sure I want to go fill for two reasons-- both ridiculous-- it costs alot of money and I am not sure that I have it bad enough!!!!

Alright-- I think I will call my mother in law and ask her a nurse's medical opinion and then go fill it. At least my prenatal vitamin samples I got at my first appointment have helped me be less constipated- because I thought that might push me over the edge.

Wow debbie downer.....
