This is REALLY not fair.

So I'm now 32 weeks tomorrow.  The end is in sight!  I promise I'll try to post pictures when she's born.  Unfortunately, 24/7 constant nausea has made a reappearance. If that isn't bad enough, I have the STOMACH FLU. 

 

Dan went to San Jose last weekend for a military change of command ceremony.  Apparently someone else that was on the trip gave HIM the bug.  Last night I had major stomach cramping and less than two minutes later when I sat back down on the couch, I was violently sick.  Not cool.  Although that probably explains the lack of any energy and trying to sleep through the last two days nonstop.  Couldn't sleep last night, so did some more nursery stuff and then came downstairs at 4:30 am.  Lots of fluids and rest are all I can really do, but Gatorade seems to be helping more than plain water right now.  I still feel like I'm going to be sick any time though.  Not fun.  At least a stomach bug is usually only 24 hours.  Now to pass out on the couch again.  Where are my kitties when I need them? (They're probably cuddled up with Dan in bed upstairs, actually.)

Aww Waterbaby1981!  Being sick with the flu is horrible enough as it is... And being THAT pregnant?! I feel your pain!  I hope wherever you are, the summer heat isn't melting you too :smileysad:   Both of my girls are Summer Babies, so I know how that can be!  Feel better soon!!

Bless your heart, it's not fair to be that sick. I hope it passes quickly and anytime you need to express what ever feelings you have about sickness or what ever just do it,  and it makes me feel better to talk about things too. Hope you feel better soon.

Oh nooo, how awful! I had one of those bugs last week.. AWFUL I can't imagine how it would feel if I already had nausea and some not so good feelings from pregnancy! Hang in there and get those kitties on your bed!  Feel better soon!

I feel much better and have more energy than I did, so that's good.  However, I missed my chiropractor appt last week.  Somehow I don't think they would've appreciated getting sick, right?  Unfortunately, sciatic nerve pain has made its reappearance for the millionth time now, so I'll be calling them at 9 am when they open to hopefully get in and get that taken care of.  It wasn't bad on Friday, but Saturday and yesterday...OMG.  Bad enough that I can't walk and I *definitely* can't drive.  Depending on what time I get in, either my sister will drive up from the Portland area to take me (on her first wedding anniversary, no less!) or Dan will.  Jennifer's off this week, but Dan needs to go in to work...they have a deadline to meet.  Nice to know that even if Jen's mad at me for some silly reason or other, she'll still help me out.  (The youngest sister is actually GOING to the chiro this morning, but doesn't want to be there any longer than she has to, no matter that I HAVE to go). 

 

I seriously can't wait for Ashley to decide she wants to be born.  I'll be so happy to have the sciatic pain stop!  She's GOT to be sitting on it for it to be this bad when it never has been while pregnant before.

I hope you get to feeling better!  Stomach bugs usually last 24 hours or so like you said, although it probably feels longer than that.

There is absolutely nothing worse than the stomach flu!! And I can't imagine what pregnancy does on top of that! Hang in there and hopefully it will pass quickly! Hope you feel better soon!!

And you still have time to sit on the internet and narrate your whole story?

Re: This is REALLY not fair.

Well, if I'm home sick and I can't sleep due to that, there's not much else I *can* do.  I'd personally rather not go out in public and get other people sick.  So your comment was uncalled for and unnecessary.
