About the upset stomach. This pregnancy is totally different from any other! I was sick for 4 months which only happened with my twins. The rest were 3 months. However, I have a gag reflex that is so sensitive that if one of the kids doesn't flush the toilet or the dog stinks or someone tells me something gross, that's all it takes. Last night it was the toilet and although I tried to overcome it by opening the window and getting cold fresh air which usually works, it didn't and I ran into the bedroom while hubby went in and flushed for me, and then once I got on my side of the bed, my morning coffee was sitting there and one whiff of that and I started gagging so badly that I couldn't stop and almost lost the sub sandwich hubby'd just fed me an hour earlier! Crazy! Only by trying to think of other things, sipping diet coke and hubby removing the offending cup of coffee did I regain control over myself. This is NOT normally me at ANY time, not even during pregnancy! Even when I am in the throes of morning sickness (or night sickness as it was this time another first!) I have to MAKE myself get sick. Not this time around! Nope! Totally different. Also only feel flutters not really much movement although once or twice there were kicks that moved my stomach. I really don't know what to think. My ultrasound isn't till the 4th and I really can't wait to see what and how many are in there! It's different that's for sure!
Well, Derk and Josh are both at work today and will get home within an hour of each other. I need them and am NOT getting much help from the rest of the kids and I'm literally too exhausted to even yell at them. I woke up every hour last night to Derk pulling off his mask and so my sleep was not a good one.
My back is sore, I'm itchy all over today and with the gross feeling and exhaustion all added in, I'm a mess! On the day I CAN NOT be a mess! Tonight we have a LOT of work getting ready for the concert on Sunday and of course it's all up to my family to get it done. Only one person has offered and stayed to help one night out of all the nights we've been there working and she's an elderly lady who stayed to help us paint the last of the murals for the backgrounds of the play. MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
Josh has taken on the food, I've got the props and logistics of the concert plus programs and everything else. Our family is doing most of the acts in the concert as usual. Two ladys are going to read poems for us and that's great news.
Oh well... I just needed to vent a little! Somehow I'll get through this. Just let one person complain about my prego belly showing too much in my new black lace dress though or that black lace is slutty or something and I might deck them rotfl. I FINALLY found a long sleeved, long (mid-calf) maternity dress but it's a black lace over cream fabric and has a vee neck that while not too low, will be filled in by me. It's snug to my body though not a tent like we all used to wear and I'm sooooo super sick of so I'm pretty sure someone will complain about that. TOO bad rotfl. I feel like a queen in it. Will post pics after Sunday.
Time to get something going here. Washer water pipes are apparently frozen and so now we've got no washer OR dryer. sigh.... so the laundrymat it is! Got to get the kids gathering the laundry up for Josh to drive over when he gets home, and then some cleaning needs to be done. ONce that's taken care of, they need to practice their parts and I need to make a few more things for the play and then we'll be good till tonight when we go over and clean the church and set things up properly for Sunday night. So much to do... so little time!
Here I go! Wish me luck!
