Nausea Getting Worse

The nausea has continued and is getting worse.  Basically I feel like I’m going to throw up all day long.  I have trouble sleeping and just being awake.  I got my prescription for Diclegis yesterday which says to take before bed as I guess it makes you really sleepy too.  I took it last night and it worked a miracle.  I had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in two weeks.  I didn’t have any nausea in the morning so it seemed to last until the afternoon.  I started getting nausea again in the later afternoon.  I really hope this doesn’t last the whole first trimester.  I’ve been kind of miserable.  I heard that someone prone to motion sickness would be more prone to nausea so the odds weren’t in my favor.  I don’t want to be over dependent on medication even though it’s fine to take while pregnant.  It’s specifically for pregnant women (there’s even a picture of a pregnant lady on the actual pill).  I’m going to skip it tonight and see how I feel tomorrow.

Joe took a romantic candlelight shower with me and we laid in bed together holding each other and discussing plans for our lives after the baby is born.  We’re going to need to get a new car.  His is a sports car that’s only a two seater so it isn’t practical for a family.  We don’t want to send our kid to school or really raise it in this area.  The area is not good.  So we have to move before our kid goes to school.  We’re trying to figure out the best place for the nursery.  We have the spare office room but it might be more practical to put the baby in our bedroom for the first few months so it’ll be easier to feed in the night.  Joe has a feeling it’s going to be a girl and he wants to name her Athena since it’s a strong name and she was conceived in Athens.  He says he really feels it’s the right name so I might have to fight him on it.  We ended up taking a nap together which was nice and relaxing.  It’s so wonderful to know that our love created our baby.
