This past weekend I really felt like I had hit a breakthrough in this pregnancy and that I was actually on my way to happy-glowy-not-pukey land. Saturday, Sunday and Monday were great days for me. I made it out of the house a few times, I walked around almost all day Monday and felt pretty good, and I even started eating some vegetables and more healthy food (I have mostly only been able to eat junk/fast food without getting sick - go figure).
Then yesterday I felt like crap and I didn't make it out of bed until after 6 PM. Today I woke up with a splitting headache, I've been sick to my stomach all day, and taking a shower this afternoon took all of the energy I had left. So I have been on the couch for the past few hours, watching crappy daytime TV, trying to learn how to knit, and listening to Ryan play (sounds cute...but the pretend ambulance and firetruck sirens are not helping the headache). So I guess I have not yet reached the magical second trimester joy that most women experience. Perhaps it is just beyond the horizon? I really hope so.
In an effort to stay positive and grateful, here are the things I am happy about today:
Ryan wanting "alone time" in his room, allowing me some quiet time
A clean bedroom that smells like my favorite candle scent
My attorney
$1,000,000 Umbrella Policies
Fiber One Brownies
Pickles
Friendly women in the neighborhood
Baby Bean's tumbling
Crazy pregnancy dreams about Christian Bale (okay that was really like 3 days ago, but it's still worth mentioning)
Only 2 days until I get to eat Chipotle for the first time in 6 weeks...keeping my fingers crossed I won't be too sick.
As Scarlett says, tomorrow is another day.
