So for those of you who are interested and like details, this is what the problem was over the weekend: I was throwing up. Shocking, I know, but the Zofran had been doing a great job of keeping me from throwing up for a full week. Then on Saturday I ate breakfast, but couldn't eat anything else. I would try to think of something that sounded good to eat, and everything sounded gross. I think the hunger gnawing at my stomach made me so nauseous that I threw up. On Sunday it happened twice. But this morning a friend of mine recommended Sam's Club muffins, so I asked another friend to pick some up for me, and that is exactly what my tummy wanted. Thank you for the suggestion Lindsey, and thank you Ashley for getting me food and helping me out so much! Ashley not only brought me some muffins, but made me some lemonade, did a load of dishes and made Tayvin a sandwich. The load of dishes was VERY appreciated.
I called my midwife's office and talked to a nurse. I explained what was going on, all the details, and she was very surprised. She's going to talk to one of the midwives and see if there's anything else we can do, but I really just need to keep on eating. In all honesty, this is not nearly as bad as my pregnancy with Tayvin. That was really awful. I'm still eating and not super dehydrated, but I just don't have the energy to keep up with Tayvin or really play with him. He can tell something is wrong and has been acting out more often than usual. Plus Jeremy started his pediatrics rotation today, so Tayvin has been very sad when Daddy leaves. Let's just pray the nausea ends sooner than it did with Tayvin.
