Last night Robb helped out by putting Ren to bed. Well, at least trying to put Ren to bed. In the process Robb threw out his back (not as severe as last time, but still, not good) and was down and out for the count. He was up most of the night with massive pain and finally took a mega dose of pain medication around 4 o'clock in the morning.
No fun, but not too bad, right? Fast forward to this morning...
Robb is basically incoherent on the couch (no sleep, muscle relaxants, and Percoset will do that to you), I'm getting breakfast for Ren and suddenly - I start throwing up. Ah, the joys of pregnancy!
I'm sure this doesn't sound fun (it hasn't been), but here's what I'm grateful for today:
- friends who tried to find ways to help/watch Ren for me (it didn't work out, but at least they tried)
- Netflix, which kept Ren quietly occupied for several hours while I concentrated on not throwing up (and no, I don't generally advocate hours of TV watching, especially because Ren gets really cranky when I eventually turn it off, but I am SERIOUSLY grateful for Netflix any time both Robb and I are sick)
- soda, which helps my stomach calm down, and
- soba noodles, which are yummy and stayed down (hooray!)
If I can find something good on a day like today, so can you - so what's your good thing today?
SO sorry you're having so much sickness with this one. Maybe that means she's a girl. (You weren't sick like this with Ren, were you?) I'm also REALLY PROUD of you for finding something to be thankful for in such a difficult day. You are wonderful and I love you.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure hoping it's a girl! I've been thinking of the baby as "her" for at least the last two months, just because that's what I think it is. I only have to wait five more weeks to find out (grr...) ;-) I'm also praying NOW to know if there's a third, because if there is I won't wait as long between kids. Pregnancy is so stressful for me I just want to be done being pregnant and have however many kids we're supposed to have!
