To Feel Like A Stranger

***

I'm starting to feel like a stranger on my-diary.org. It's
been so long since I've written. I wish I felt better. I
wish I could get back the urge to write like I used to.
There isn't much to talk about. Morning sickness that
lasts all day isn't that interesting. I haven't been
working a lot because of a combination of more associates,
fewer hours available and my lack of enthusiasm for
working shifts I'm not scheduled to work. For a few days I
even considered quiting, I felt so bad.

This morning when I woke up. I felt a monocram of relief.
I didn't have to run immediately for the bathroom. I
didn't have to take a pill. It's kind of nice :) I'm still
a teeny bit queasy, but I'm a little better. I'll be
grateful for this small relief.

Last week was probably the worst by far. I actually had to
go to the emergency room, because I couldn't keep anything
down for days. I ended up spending 5 hours there getting
re hydrated and they gave me some medication to help
control the nausea, but it isn't a magic pill. I still
feel queasy sometimes. I'm counting down the weeks until
the second trimester start and relief comes with it.

I had an ultrasound done just to make sure the baby was
okay. I got to hear the heartbeat and see my little gummi
bear swim. They changed my due date to June 5th, which
would put conception around Sept 11th or 12th. That seems
right to me. My ovulation cycle isn't the average 28 days.
I thought it was more like 32 to 35 days between cycles.
So, it proved to me that I do know a little something
about my body. Funny how that works.

Today I have my first prenatal appointment. There isn't
anything to it. Basically I we have to sit through a
stupid class with a bunch of other people that are newly
pregnant and here the usual stuff. Stop smoking, stop
drinking, don't get your nails done, don't get your hair
done, don't go outside, stop breathing. You're pregnant
now. If you don't eat alfalfa sprouts and live on a diet
of prenatal vitamins you're baby will die. That sort of
thing. Everything I've heard before.

I think I'll have lunch now. Ciao!
