Week 7 and miserable

This week has been a tough week for the Leigh household. Wednesday was my birthday and I couldn't muster up enough energy to much of anything. We went to my parents for the afternoon, then off to work I had to go. Thursday was THE WORST! I had to be to work at 10 am, and upon arrival I dry heaved all morning at work. The smells were horrible, I was tired and was receiving no sympathy from anybody. After I got home on Thursday I took a nap and hoped that my wonderful husband would cook for me. After that I think each day has gotten better as I have learned to cope and manage the nausea. I have learned that the trick is to keep you stomach even all day. Never, let me say that again, Never let your stomach go empty. That's when it gets really bad, and don't eat to much other wise you feel like a big pile of poop. And I think for me the exhaustion is what kick starts that sickness, but who knows.

1 more week till I get to go see doc. I am really excited. I just want to hear that we have a normal pregnancy and the baby is doing fantastic. It might even seem like the symptoms are lighting up a little bit.
Moms day was wonderful as Jamie and I went to spend the day with my mom. And to my surprise there was a present awaiting my arrival. I got some cute baby stuff and a shirt. Thanks mom. Jamie was only there for a bit, his wife sent him on a mission. I was in the mood for some grilled cheese, chips and a pickle and mom was out, so Jamie first went to the mall to get my watch fixed, then to the gas station 'cause I left no gas in my car for him, then to the house to get bread, then to the store to get pickles and chips. (I have the best husband ever!) And I don't think it was a "craving" like most women talk about, but I have been so sick that, that was the only thing that sounded good.
Jamie, my husband has been the best husband a sick prego women could ask for! He has done ALL the house chores, ALL shopping, listen to ALL my complaints, and he still loves me. I have felt very guilty over the past couple of weeks not being able to do much, well anything, around the house. But hope fully this week will be a new week.
