Back from the Bathroom....
Whew - a wild week around here. My morning
sickness took a turn for the "severe" sometime around Wednesday night - by
Thursday morning I couldn't keep down anything - solid or liquid - for more then
20 minutes. We tried, with my midwives brainstorming, everything from nux vomica
to hot water filled with different herbs for aromatherapy... homeopathics proves
a dead end and I was still vomiting every 20 minutes, 24/7. Ugh - I am working
on blanking out that 48 hour period. As I got more and more dehydrated and "out
of it", we finally tried a medication - the antihistamine in Unisom and Vitamin
B6 in combination - this is sold as Dilectin in Canada, but not marketed here.
Hallelujah! I'm 10 pounds lighter and have 2 less sick days, and a bit tired and
dizzy from the anti-histamine, but I'm eating and drinking (although my poor
parched cells still scream at me to gulp down huge quantities of liquid - not
such a good idea for my still trembling stomach) and on my
feet.
Tomorrow is moving day, so I'll leave work at noon - a good way to ease back into it I think - and go to the closing with a car full of boxes, compliments of E. I'd like to sleep there tomorrow - living in box world is even harder when you're knocked up - but I guess it depends if we have all our kitchen/bed/bathroom essentials in. The livestock might have to stay here overnight on Monday, but E and D are putting up the fence, etc. all day Tuesday and I fully expect the chickens and goats to be ensconced by nightfall. The bees will wait till Saturday, when we close the hive, strap it together, and bring it over in A's pick up. Cable, and hopefully internet, comes on Tuesday so I should be back online by then. I'll be setting up command central at a cool built in cherry desk in the kitchen/family room. Wait till you see the kitchen - it's so fabulous! Pics to come once I get re-established.
