The Most Miserable Day

Seriously, yesterday was by far one of the most miserable days.  Pregnant women should not have to deal with sickness.  I had felt weak and tired all week, but I had just chalked it up to the typical pregnancy symptoms in the third trimester.  On Thursday night, I ate a late dinner after skipping classes because of feeling so tired and drained of energy.  I had a doctor's appointment on Friday morning for my lovely blood work and glucose test, but in the early morning hours I awoke from a fitful night's sleep to have to run to the bathroom from a serious case of nausea.  I knew that was not one of my typical symptoms this late in the game, but I thought it still might be due to eating a late and unusually heavy dinner the previous night.  I went back to bed feeling drained and decided to drink some milk to help me sleep.  It seemed to help a little, but I awoke a few hours later to sickness again.  I was beginning to think this was something else.  I could barely stand to raise my head off my pillow or open my eyes from a dizzying headache.  When this feeling didn't pass, I called my doctor's office to reschedule my appointment, and then I let my work know I wouldn't be making it to work.  I still hoped that the feeling would pass though.  I drank some juice and ate some plain toast to see if I could get some energy but that too made me sick.  Needless to say, I ate little all day (poor Mattie) and accomplished nothing but lying in bed most of the day.  Luckily, our nanny came in and took the boys on a fun outing to Monkey Joe's (a local indoor play center with lots of bounce castles) and Chick-fil-a.   Eddie was a champ taking care of me although he started feeling bad himself.  He took care of the kids in the afternoon, and I attempted sitting outside to see if some fresh air would help me feel better.  Then, I attempted to eat a little chicken noodle soup from Panera, and after the family took baths and changed our sheets, we felt a little better at night time.  Thankfully, the nausea has passed, but I am still just feeling a little drained and in need of energy.  The weather is beautiful though so we are all just enjoying the lovely Spring air.  Hoping Spring is finally here to stay!
