Did I tell you yet how sick I’ve been?

by Rachael on May 29, 2008

Guys. I have been SO SO SICK. Dizzy, queasy, and tired. I get up in the morning and go right back to sleep. I eat and feel like it’s coming right back up, I drink coffee just to stave off the caffeine headache, and that puts me to sleep too.

I go for walks to get back some energy, and have to take a nap when I’m done. Yesterday I ate a Quarter Pounder with Cheese AND a Small Fry, every last crumb, and I was still hungry. And then I went home and took a nap.

While sleeping so much is nice and all, it’s starting to seriously encroach on my work time. And also my being-awake time. I’m sure by now you’ve possibly guessed why, but if not, the picture should tell you.

o hai, i'm gestating.

O hai, I appear to be about six weeks pregnant. *gurgle* *heave* *snore*

This would be why my blogging and work and pretty much everything else have been at a standstill since a week ago. Finally today I’m feeling a bit better, and I’m actually SITTING AT MY DESK and WORKING. I know!! I’m shocked too!!

Anyway, I thought you should know. So, you know, when I start posting pregnant photos of myself you won’t fall off your chairs in shock.

@ Kate:

LOL, that’s okay, it made me giggle. And also I had the same thought – ooh, good stuff for blogging! ;) As long as I don’t keep falling asleep at my desk.

Rick (16 comments) 05.29.08 at 11:38 am

OMG WTF oh wow! Congratulations, you two!

Five weeks….that puts you…looking at a new arrival around Valentine’s Day, eh? Cool!

Hope the first-trimester yucky bits pass quickly for you, and aren’t replaced with other later-trimester yucky bits.

Any idea on names? Gonna find out if it’s a boy or a girl? Mind if random people off the internet ask you all kinds of personal questions? =)

Sooo happy happy for you two! Congrats again!

@ Rick:

Thank you, Rick!! :D

This little one should show up around the middle to end of January (or later, if he/she is a punk and hangs around longer than necessary, lol). We don’t have any names picked yet, but when we do I’m sure I’ll tell everyone because I happen to think the internet CARES. ;)

Thanks again!!

I just have to remember to LIE DOWN when my body wants me to. Enough ignoring myself just to get things done. ;)

I really hope you feel better. Take care.

Congratulations!!!! I hope you continue to have all-day sickness and tireness (only so you know everything is healthy!) And then I hope it goes away as you grow bigger and the baby starts to move and you can feel it all the time!

Congrats again! What a nice post to find in my google reader tonight.

Julie (18 comments) 05.30.08 at 7:53 am

HEY! I took the same one :-) I took like four or five of them. A few came with two. So when I was like, five months along, I had one left over and just took it to see how it read…duh. like I didn’t already know, right? The line was soooooo bright it hurt my eyeballs. That extra hormone gets strong the further along you get.

@ Bill:

Thank you! :)

Rachael (380 comments) 05.30.08 at 9:55 am

@ Hecticmom Undone:

Aww, thank you so much. Those are almost exactly my sentiments about it as well – don’t really like being sick, but it’s USEFUL. :)

Rachael (380 comments) 05.30.08 at 9:57 am

@ Julie:

HAHA, Julie, you’re hilarious! I would have kept that one back, but Lissie really badly wanted to keep the first one (lol!), so to have one for a picture I had to use the second one. :D

Emil Lesner (5 comments) 05.30.08 at 10:13 pm

Aha, you and Troy have been dancing the horizontal mambo, eh? Congratulation’s. Now you will have 4, just like my wife and I.
