So i'm officially 18 weeks along in my pregnancy. This is when it starts to get hard, b/c it's at this point that all of science says that you should start to feel great. Well, i don't. I actually started feeling a little better about 3 weeks ago, but then last weekend, had a big relapse. I had basically been off all medication, b/c it didn't seem to make any difference on how I felt. I'm now back on one, just to keep me from throwing up again. I was even put on a pump for a while....let me just say I hate needles, and this was not easy for me. Jesse had to change the needle (which went in my stomach) every 4 days. It was awful. I had bruises and knots all over my tummy. It did help me to stop throwing up, but did nothing for my nausea. I also wasn't allowed to carry Isaac, b/c they were worried that he might kick it out. So after 3 weeks I had had enough.
For the most part though, I am able to keep food down. I still feel nauseous all day long, and have zero energy. But I have been able to get up a bit, and even help feed Isaac. I have some great pics of Isaac to show you all...so i promise soon, i will dedicate just a post to him :)
Thanks for all your prayers!
Here's a picture of the pump... fun! fun!
