The Power of Meds

I was speaking with my dad yesterday afternoon as we were on our way to pick up my prescriptions. I told him that even with kidney stones and morning sickness, my pregnancy with Harlan seemed like a breeze compared to this one.I don’t think I have ever been this sick I have ever been this sick in my entire life.

The wonderful news is that after taking my medications last night I feel like an entirely new pregnant woman today. I woke up only feeling my regular nausea associated with morning sickness, but the horrible pain in my stomach and esophagus have subsided and I was actually able to keep down my dinner last night. I even managed to keep down a little piece of carrot cake {risky, I know, but I was really craving it.}

While I don’t necessarily like relying on medication while I am pregnant, there are times when it is completely necessary. My number one concern right now is the well being on myself and the baby I am carrying. If I hadn’t had any medicine, I can guarantee you I would be in a hospital bed right now hooked up to lots of wires and machines. There was just no way around not taking anything.

The baby has been a champ through all of this and she’s been moving like crazy. I can only hope that she hasn’t been as affected as I have for the past week.

I want to thank everyone for the kind messages, texts, tweets, etc. It really means a lot that you are thinking about me! Now let’s pray for an easy, drama/sick free rest of the pregnancy!
