I hope that one day I'll look back and...

Laugh! So most of you know that I've struggled these past couple months with the morning sickness. I am now in my 15 week, and thought that it would have gone away by now! I had a few good days last week, which I was so excited about, but then all of a sudden- boom- it came back!! It's extremely frustrating, because I'm loosing weight which is not good. My doctor gave me some medicine, which I took last week and knocked me out for about a day and a half- not good when you have to teach. So last night when I had about had it, I took half of a pill- within 10 minutes, I was a zombie again! And we had people over, but I felt like I was sleep walking- it did help me sleep better, since that hasn't been going well either, but as I sit here at my desk with eyes heavy, feeling lethargic- I just don't know what to do. Surely soooooooo many people have dealt with it, and I'm so thankful that it isn't worse, and that as far as I know there have been no complications, but I long for the day when I have a healthy appetitie again, when I can eat normally, when I have energy, when I can sleep more than 5 hours a night. Maybe those days are gone! But I'm sure one day I'll look back and barely remember the zombie days, hopefully I'll laugh!

Hey Shannon! I know exactly how you feel! I was sick the entire 9 months with my first and almost the whole time with my second. I was just curious what medication you've been taking? I wanted to let you know about "Reglan". I tried "phenegren" (I don't know if I spelled that right...sorry!) and several others, but reglan worked really well. I hope the nausea supsides soon! God Bless
