As I get older, my tolerance for things like colds, sleeplessness, and oh, morning sickness seems to diminish.
\nThis is horrible! My first pregnancy or two, or something like that, I remember just dealing, getting through it, knowing it would be over. Now I cannot function at all, and I am incredibly miserable about being<\/i> miserable, and not just being sick, if that makes any sense. I am a horrible Catholic, I offer it up, but I still cannot seem to both offer it up, and happily go about my daily duties.My bathroom is a disaster (oh who am I kidding, the house), the kids are eating crap (they made chocolate a cake for dinner and I let them eat it-keep in mind in a better feeling life I am crunchy), I am using disposable diapers, and I am schooling at the bare minimum.
\nI have a theory: if men got morning sickness, there would be an aisle in CVS dedicated to morning sickness remedies, in between allergy medicine, heeadache remedies, and Pepto Bismal. I know, I am sounding kind of feminist, and I don’t mean to, but think about it…imagine the work hours that would be lost! Or how about this, does your average man, not good husband person who has seen this and gets it, just men in general even, or to be fair, just people really know<\/i> how debilitating morning sickness is? And I don’t mean hyperemesis gravidarum or anything, just plain ole fatigue and nausea, not knowing what to eat, not having energy, any movement or things with lights makes you seasick, smelling everything around wayyy too much…
\nI keep reading articles about how if I want to feel better, it is my responsibilty to eat right, yet how to eat right to prevent nausea is very vague, and I need to exercise to maintain my energy levels. Do these people not understand that the last thing you want when you are nauseous is a head of broccoli, and when you spend your day in exhaustion, a night in insomnia, it is not easy getting up in the morning to work-out (incidentally I do because of the diabetes concern, but I still feel like total crap). So I face it, it’s my fault for getting pregnant-“you want another kid, you gotta deal”.
\nOK, ending my rant now. I have been feeling really, really crappy for weeks now, and would do anything to crawl out of my skin and escape my body even for five minutes to feel normal. Since I can’t do that, I unfortunately had to subject you to my complaining. Hope you can forgive me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
