Making it to almost 3 months pregnant, you'd think sickness wouldn't be far off from leaving me alone....But it seems this go-around will once again, be different.
Not only has it been around, but the last week was brutal.
I'd have to agree with Andy that overall, this sickness has brought out amazing character in our oldest. E loves to take charge, care for others, be helpful, a blessing. I treasure that so much. But even over-achieving 5 year olds have their limit, and E hit hers on Thursday.
Tears. Lots of tears.
Broke my heart, I was at my breaking point too.
So, Friday morning at our Dr. appointment, I did it. I asked for a prescription so I can function. Not high-function, I just want to be able to make a dinner, do a few dishes, stand long enough to do my make-up! My kids need me, my husband needs me...and peace when he gets home....
So, here we are on Saturday. So far today, (drugs taken) we've cleaned the downstairs of the house which was showing the wear of pregnancy....We've been to the zoo and to Daddy's store and are back home for rest times. Mom is happy. Kids are REALLY happy. Dad is smiling and telling Mommy "Told ya so babe." (He wanted to me do this a lot earlier).
Second change: I'm allowing myself caffeine again. Not excessively, but a cup of half-caf in the morning is keeping me on my toes and ready to dive into these busy days.
I feel human again, and boy does it feel good.
