Wishful, soon to be reality, dreaming...

So yesterday was a pretty great day.  I had an interview for a different position at work...Not sure what's going to happen with that or what the Lord wants to happen with that...But I had some time to kill before the Bayside Volunteer Appreciation Night so went and did what every girl does when they have free time...I went and shopped...I found out one of our local discount shops has really cute maternity clothes....Got a pair of really cute maternity jeans from H&M for $10 and I just couldn't resist this shirt....Although I am officially only 10 weeks....I can't wait to get a little bigger baby bump so I can wear this shirt.....

Excited for whatever the Lord has to come...and hoping the nausea ends soon...

When will it go away

And the Nausea continues.....

So, Today I am Nine weeks and 5 days....Friday I will be 10 weeks....Crazy to think there's been a baby inside of me for that long....What's crazier to think about is that I have now been officially nauseated for over a month....and I have possibly another month to go of this nausea....

Let me explain it to you a little differently....

I wake up and the first thing I think of is, "Where are my Honey Nut Cheerios?"  I try to scarf down as many as I can while I read my bible, then I get up out of bed, and make it to brush my teeth, now with Honey Nut Cheerios in my teeth....which is very interesting......then I make it to the shower...where I have to take a cold shower...or at least luke warm....cause the thought of hot water makes me sick just thinking about it....
I proceed to get ready for work but there's no way, just go ahead and forget about, drying my hair....that hot air is a not a great combaination with the current state of not trying to vomit....I then drive to work....once again trying to scarf down ceeral while slipping in a Zofran to truly hope for some sense of relief....

And the work day begins...

throughout the day my thoughts consist of making sure I eat every 2 hours, mixed with thoughts of drinking sprite....it's crazy that my thoughts truly revolve around food.....and all to fight this ever sickening feeling of nausea....

it's totally undescribebale....words cannot do it justice....

But I get, "Oh it just means that the baby is doing well, or the placenta is ok...."
When people tell me this I quitely think in my head, "THAT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE ME FEEL BETTER"...

But today, I actually went running.....to feel the cool breeze on my face and those endorphines start flowing...all with a sense of nausea mixed in.....truly a sensation that I cannot explain....so I am going to stop trying....

Don't get my wrong, I am so incredibly excited and cannot wait to meet "Baby Nick" but right now he/she is making mommy very sick.....very very sick.....

Maybe you have some advice for me....I feel like I have tried everything: Saltines, Ginger, Gingerale, Hard Candy, Crackers, Sprite, eating before I get out of bed.....But hey, I would love any additional advice you wanna give...

Until the moment I get to see my sweet thang...
