Some Good News!

Okay, I need to stop complaining. So here is some good news. The inbox of my work email is empty! WooHoo! It hasn't been empty in quite some time. I use my inbox as a to do list for work and when I complete the job, the email goes into a different folder. Sooo....an empty inbox means I am finally caught up with work. Although, it probably won't last very long because we are still waiting for approvals on all of the House of Rep stuff and once they are approved I will have to work on getting film set up to go to print. But, for now it is empty and it feels good.

Also, as a quick side note: my doctor's appointment went well. I waited around a lot, but I guess that's to be expected in a busy practice. The doctor promised me that we'll get to do a quick ultrasound next time. I'm excited to see our little bean.

Saltines and Powerade

I guess I shouldn't have complained because it could always be worse....right? Well, it got a lot worse. I had a rough patch last week. I pretty much lived off of saltines and Powerade because that is all I could keep down. I am now up to 5 times and counting. I have already exceeded the amount from when I was pregnant with Melina and I still have at least another month to go. Yes, that's right I'm keeping track of how many times I have thrown up. I'm sure I'll lose track if the number gets high enough, hopefully that won't happen. And I'm not talking about 1 gag throwing up-I mean the gagging up a storm/dry heaves/pee your pants kind of throwing up. Sorry, I didn't mean to gross you out. Luckily I've been feeling better the last few days and have been able to eat more. Good thing, because I was STARVING. I'm really hoping that it doesn't get that bad again. Hopefully I didn't jinx it (knock on wood). The good news is that I have my first pre-natal appointment today, maybe the doctor will have some ideas. I'll let you know how it goes.

Sick, Sick, Sick!...a little vent.

Can I just vent here a little bit? Well, it's my blog and I can do whatever I want to...so there. Ugh. Why is it called morning sickness? I WISH it was just in the mornings, but noooo...it has to be ALL DAY LONG. I am so sick of being sick all of the time. I don't get a break. Grrr. I feel like I am a terrible mom and wife. The house is a mess, I have tons of work to do and all I want to do is take a nap. But then I feel guilty when I do take a nap because there is so much to do. And to top it off, Russ and Melina have a cold and I think I'm getting it too. Grrr. I can't even open the fridge or brush my teeth without gagging and the fridge smell sent me to the sink yesterday to throw up and now there is a throw up smell in the sink. Grrr.

Okay, I think I'm done complaining now. Wow, that felt good, maybe I should vent more often. Actually, I complain a lot more than I should. Russ is probably getting sick of it and deserves a big shout out for putting up with me. Especially since it is just the beginning and there is a long way to go. I know, I know...I need to drop the poor me attitude and just suck it up. I really am grateful to be able to have another baby and I know the sickness won't last forever, but man oh man, these first few months CANNOT go fast enough. And then I'll get a whole new set of problems. But honestly, I would rather deal with back pain than with constant nauseousness. Remind me that I said that later when I start complaining about all of the aches and pains:)
