Okay, do I have failed at blogging every day but, I will try again. you know "they" say that if you do something 21 days in a row then it becomes a habit. So, day one.
My reason for not blogging has been that I feel like I have been hit by a truck. Not much puking...but the severe nausea, the uber-crazy dizziness, headaches, anxiety, blurry eyes, tingling arms, UGH. And my bones are creaking like I'm 100 years old. wtf???? It's just pretty much constant. I tried all the old tricks of crackers, peppermint, unisom, etc. Nothing worked. So I went to my first doctor's appointment today. I was right...due on Sept. 2nd. Told him all my woes and he prescribed me a drug called zofran (sp?) for my sickness. Apparently they give it to chemo patients to treat their nausea as well. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this...i need to do some more research but, at this point...I will do anything to make this feeling stop! Does anyone know anything about the zofran?????
Tristan is on the Fitness Center's basketball team. He's having a ton of fun doing that. Cedric is doing Tang Soo Do at the Fitness Center and Tristan will start as well when basketball is over. I think I will get a membership or something and work out while they train. Maybe that will make me feel better. I have to say that living in Carthage sure does have it's benefits! Pictures to follow.....

Zofie and I are like best friends! I don't know why nobody told me about him when I was prego the first time. Second time around I was throwing up every 5 minutes some days. Helped me not throw up. Then later helped me not feel so sick. Lame side effect is constipation, so bulk up on your fiber :)
All I know is, you don't mess with the Zofran.
I took Zofran, and my head fell off. Darn that sucked.
i took zofran with my second baby, and yeah, FRACKING good stuff!! anna's right though, bulk up on fiber the minute you start taking it, or you will be very sorry, my friend. not just the food you eat, but get a good fiber supplement as well. benefiber or something. it will help you not hurl, but for me the nausea never truly went away, but i'm one of those sick-all-day-all-nine-months girls. zofran helped me stay out of the hospital though. good luck!
I used zofran with Addison, it did not take away all the nausea but at least it allowed me to eat without throwing up. Good luck!
