16 Weeks and still pewking

Wow am I tired of this. I keep thinking I'm about done and then it comes again. I was done at this point when I was pregnant with Nathan. And I hope this ends soon. I don't have any pictures to post. I haven't been taking pictures very much lately. I'll have to work on that. Once you read this you'll probably be glad I didn't take any pictures. Don't keep reading if you are feeling queasy.

Sunday I wasn't feeling all that well but hadn't thrown up. After dinner at Ryan's parents I was resting on the couch when I began throwing up. I was determined not to get any on the carpet so I kept my mouth closed and ran for the bathroom. I made it to the bathroom but that's about it. I didn't even have time to close the door before I projected vomit all over the vanity. With a brief pause I was able to close the door and mutter an "I'm sorry" before basically filling the sink. Up to this point in my pregnancy I have been either at home or work for this kind of event and have always have enough warning to make it to the toilet. Not this time. After the sink was full I realized I'd have to try to get the toilet lid up and there in a hurry. I did with only a small trail. At this point there was pewk everywhere. I mean the mirror was covered from top to bottom the towel on the side of the sink was covered the toilet was covered two wall had traces and the floor unfortunately did not escape either. I had pewk on my arm in my hair on my shirt and pants. When I finished I didn't even know where to begin to clean this mess.

Thankfully the laundry room is attached to this particular bathroom and I found a rag. I don't know how long it took. When all evidence was gone I could still smell it but wasn't sure if it was just what was still in my nose or the bathroom. I was sure everyone in the kitchen had heard. But I guess Ryan had been very alert and diverted everyone's attention. No one had any idea I had even been in the bathroom. I asked his mom for some Windex. She seemed confused and thought Nathan had made a mess. I cleaned the mirror and then she kindly told me to go rest and finished with Lysol. I only wish I had a picture to post to show just how bad it was.

After throwing up a few more times, much less eventful (there wasn't anything left in my stomach) we headed home and I headed to the pharmacy. I filled my emergency prescription. I was reluctant to do so because I had been told how expensive this medicine was but the alternative was to head for an IV. The Insta care was closed so we'd have to go to the ER. More time and money. So I went to the 24 hour pharmacy in Draper and to my relief found my insurance paid over $100 of the cost and 15 pills only cost me $33. I took one and went to bed with thoughts of not going to work in the morning.

I didn't feel much better the next morning and after throwing up a couple times took another pill. I decided to go to work anyway because Nathan was so excited to go over to Grandma's and I figured if I was going to drive him there I might as well go to work. I made it the rest of the day without throwing up and I only had to take two more pills. But yesterday and today are back to being pretty good. I don't mean to complain. I am so glad to be pregnant and I know it is worth it.
