Miserable Mama

This is a post about how miserable I am feeling during these last few weeks of pregnancy. I know it seems so wrong to be posting about something that's no fun, but I guess it's my way of venting a little...so bear with me.  I CANNOT wait for this to be over with so that I can feel like a human being again.  I have been vomiting daily since day 1 (even took a trip to the ER one morning because I was throwing up blood) which has caused little tiny tears all up and down my esophagus.  This usually begins when I brush my teeth in the morning...and most of the time it ends rather quickly as well.  BUT, there are those few times when it doesn't stop and I am forced to call in sick to work and be miserable all day.  I have been working full time too (up until this past week) and for those of you who have ever seen me at work, I don't do a lot of sitting.  I have been forcing myself to sit every couple of hours, but that is not easy to do sometimes.  This coming week I will cut back to 30 hours, and my last day will be February 3rd or when I deliver, whichever comes first.  According to all the ultrasounds I've had, this little girl is measuring about a week and a half big (which we thought my due date was a week earlier anyways from the very beginning) so the doctor estimates my due date to be January 31st instead of February 7th.  I will keep you posted as the weeks continue and hopefully this baby cooperates and shows up on her own so that I don't have to go through induction again.
