Sleepy! So, I haven't posted in a while, mostly due to the fact that I am only up for a few hours a day. I am so incredibly sleepy, it's almost frightening how bad it is. I am wondering if something could be wrong. I do the smallest task (folding the laundry, dishes, preparing a meal) and I feel like I need a nap. I spend much of my morning sleeping, then take a nap in the afternoon and am ready for bed at hubby's eleven o' clock bed time. I am very frustrated with myself, not a whole lot getting done around here these days and it makes me feel like I am the most pathetic pregnant woman to ever exist. Everyone knows what a busy body I am, so this feeling is literally killing me.
Sick! This symptom is not as bad as it could be, so I am going to try to keep my complaints to a minimum! I am usually the worst in the morning, when I first wake up or after long naps. I read somewhere that your stomach empties and it's actually your stomach acids making you sick. I really hate to wake myself from my slumber to eat something, but I may have to start, as it's getting worse everyday. I do throw up occassionally, if I catch a smell of something that does not agree with me or sometimes if I just think about the wrong food (currently--eggs!). The afternoons are a bit easier, although again, if I take a nap, I usually wake up sick. The evenings are usually the times I feel my best, don't know why this is?!
I am having a hard time eating, as everything sounds disgusting. With my blood sugar problems, this is not and has not been a good thing. Hubby and I recently took a short trip to our hometown and I was positive I was going to die! Between throwing up food and trying to find something on the road that sounded appetizing (all of the snacks I packed were coming up) it was almost impossible to keep my sugars up. I told hubby it was the first time I have ever felt that bad and could actually feel myself slipping away (I am a reactive hypoglycemic who reacts with passing out and/or having seizures). Luckily, we found some food and I ate as much of it as I could before I felt like I would throw up again. Then, I had to switch hubby and drive us all the way home (which was rough considering how tired I am). Needless to say, I am not much of a companion for road trips right now!
Short! Finally, I have NEVER been so grouchy or short in all of my life. Anyone who truly knows me, knows I can have a bit of an attitude from time to time, but usually I can reserve this for the appropriate time, place and/or person. But lately, it just comes out full swing when even I least expect it. I am so grouchy I can hardly stand myself sometimes. So, if I haven't been all that nice to you lately, I apologize. I am truly hoping it is the pregnancy hormones and not the "new me". Again, I sincerely apologize, please try to ignore me. My poor husband gets the worst of it and does his best to deal with me (sorry hubby, you're a wonderful support and I appreciate you, even if I am crazy right now, which I hope doesn't last!).
Ok, well as usual, I am hungry and something actually sounds good right now, so I had better run and eat that before I change my mind (that happens very frequently). I am telling you, I am the most finnicky pregnant woman I have ever known! And if I'm not (were you worse?) please comment me right away and tell me about it, as I feel like I am flying solo on the sleepy, sick and short rollercoaster ride!
Oh and a side note, my doctor still has not called about the swine flu vaccination, so I will be calling them today. I am hoping they get it in soon, as I have not been able to work due to not being vaccinated. I am hoping I can get the vaccine soon, so I can go back to work, mostly because my busy body self wants to do something productive during the day (even if it's only a half day job). I'll keep everyone posted, as I get more information!
