IV Fun

Monday night the morning sickness got crazy. I couldn't eat or drink anything and make it stay down. I went to work Tuesday feeling like crap and actually had to leave halfway through the day; I had such a bad headache, was dizzy and continued with the sickness. At home I slept and slept. The sickness continued no matter what I tried to eat and drink. Every 20 minutes another episode.
Yesterday I woke up and knew something wasn't right. I called the Dr to see how you could tell if you were dehydrated and they asked me what was going on. They wanted me to come in. I went into the office in the afternoon and by the time I left I was going home to meet with a nurse who would administer and IV for hydration and some nausea medication as well. This was crazy. I haven't taken any medication and wanted to keep it that way the entire pregnancy. I also didn't want to keep vomiting and felt scared I had lost 4 pounds in a week. I did what I thought was the best for me and for the baby.
Now I'm laying in bed, feeling tired and nursing a Zofran headache but I'm not sick. I actually have to get up and use the bathroom instead of wondering when the last time I went was. I feel pregnant again, which relieves me more than anything.
Shawn helped me so much yesterday: he flushed my IV, changed the bag before bed and cleaned the house so I could relax. He is so appreciated and I hope he knows just how much so.
The animals won't leave my side. They are all worried, and admittedly curious of the noise the IV pump makes. I'm going to curl up with them now and take another nap.
Have a great day and go hug your mother or call her if possible just in case she went through anything like morning sickness whatsoever.
