Week 12: Sick, or sick?

11 weeks, 2 days.

Well, yesterday I was sick as all Hell by mid-afternoon. I didn’t have a fever, but felt pretty crappy, like someone had removed all of my blood or something hideous like that. Fortunately, my evil husband provided me with Thai food in the evening, and I magically felt better. But it still sucked! I was convinced I had some sort of a bug, and that, of course, scared the crap out of me. Given that we had eggs the night before when I first got sick (mmm… salmonella?) and fresh spinach I’d steamed in the microwave (mmm… E. coli??), I think it was less unreasonable than it sounds now to be a little freaked.

But I’m fine.

Today I was battling with the usual queasiness – to the extent that I actually had to resort to the ginger candy (which worked, but I hadn’t had to go that far before) to keep my breakfast from returning. It was much stronger than usual today, but not sick sick queasiness, so I’m figuring it’s hormones.

To the gods of karmic vengeance: Ok, I get it. I shouldn’t have complained about the lack of symptoms. You guys can go back to tormenting other people now :)

    Oh, I remember those days. I was sick beyond belief for the first 4 months or so. I was taking the max dose of diclectin and I still felt like dying every day, and still had to teach a pack of grade 6 kids who didn’t yet know I was pregnant.
    Ugh.

    You’ll get through it. And eventually, you’ll forget enough about it to want more kids…maybe :P

    Wow… pregnant, overpowering nausea *and* a pack of 6th graders?? You’re brave!

    I’m not going to complain about the nausea – if I got off easy for the first 11 weeks and the gods retaliate, it’s probably only fair. Not that I have to like it, but… since so many of my distant friends have complained of months of nausea, it’d be really bad form for me to whine *too* much :)

    And at least I don’t have 6th graders on top of it – it’s tough to be that age, and I can’t quite imagine what it takes to manage a group of them when one is in perfectly good form, let alone while producing another life form!
