Day 1 of Meds

I want to preface this by saying that I really don't want to take any medication during the pregnancy. I've even been skipping my allergy medication (Benadryl=baby safe) unless absolutely necessary (I'm horribly allergic to oak pollen and it's so unpleasant). So, while I wasn't excited to join the ranks of Zofran users, I was too sick to argue with the hubs when he told the doctor, "YES, she NEEDS something."

Today was my first official day of taking the pill on a schedule. I took one before I even got out of bed--God bless my doctor, she gave me the dissolveable ones--but it took almost an hour to kick in. I didn't start to feel good until I got to work, but after that I felt like a new person. I munched all morning to keep the hunger pains at bay, and I ate two cheese sticks, vegetable soup, fresh fruit, and some pretzels for lunch. Yay me! That's more food than the TOTAL amount of food I've eaten since Saturday. Little One probably wonders what to do with all that food. I was due to take another pill at 11:30 am, but I decided to wait until absolutely necessary in hopes that I wouldn't need a second one at all. Wrong. Right about 4:30, it's like someone flipped a switch. Hi, nausea. I begrudgingly took the other pill, and boom--I can act like a real, live human being again. I would still like very much to not have to take one at all tomorrow, since I won't be around the students, but I think I'll probably have to.

I've been eating cheese and Greek yogurt for protein, but still no meat. I can't. Nuts make me ill and peanut butter gives me heartburn. I could probably handle eating eggs, but not cooking them. Protein suggestions, anyone?

Tomorrow I asked the hubs if we could please go browse some baby sections of stores. We haven't gone before out of fear that someone we know would see us, but now that the word is out, there's no reason not to go. I think we're going to start our registry soon. I know it's early, but since we're not finding out the sex there's no reason to wait.My out of town family has already contacted me about throwing me a baby shower, and my grandmother goes, "Where are you registered?" Um...I'm 13 weeks pregnant...? But hey, if you want me to register, then register I shall.

I have dishes to wash and put away and clothes to fold, but boy, am I tired. I'm sure I'll let it go til tomorrow...I wasn't a total bum tonight, though. I went to meet a potential Scentsy recruit who lives 45 minutes away, and she signed up! Wahoo! The business is rockin'. She's my fourth recruit this month!
