If At First You Don't Succeed...

It's 6:15 in the morning and I'm eating ice cream. At this point I will try anything. Between boyfriend and I we have spent waaaaaaaaaay too much money trying to find stuff that will make me feel better. In fact, I went on a $20 shopping trip to Walgreens and loaded up on any and all things that I read about whether it be ginger ale to these things called Sea Bands, my new personal favorite. They are little things I wear around my wrist that have this little bead that pushes on some pressure point that relieves nausea. I feel like a 1990's basketball star though. LOL! They look like arm warmers. Anywho, I was awoken once again this morning with a bought of sickness and as I sat on the couch nibbling something to help with the empty feeling in my stomach I did more morning sickness research. I found this really great article on how to avoid it all together. One of the major things it mentioned was making sure you ate something that would coat your stomach before you partook in anything salty as to not aggravate your stomach further. I was eating saltines. Awesome. I haven't really had any milk products since the other day but at this point...I'll do anything. The article also said this, "Studies show that the high levels of pregnancy hormones that contribute to nausea also suggest a well-implanted embryo. In fact, the more nausea a mother has, the more likely she is to deliver a healthy baby. " I'll take it then. I want this baby.

Yesterday was the best day by far since last Tuesday. I've been couch bound since then and yesterday I finally felt okay enough to go somewhere. Good thing too because it was also the day where one of Boyfriend's friends was getting married. It would have been miserable if I was still feeling like I did the rest of the week. This is the first time I met this group of friends and they were fantastic. Not only were all of the people really cool but they way they did their wedding was the best. Their reception was in the backyard and they just had good food, a couple options for beverage and a DJ. Simple. To the point. And just plain fun. That is how I would like to do it. The wedding also gave boyfriend and I a really great gift. Over the past week boyfriend has been...well...less than sympathetic. He has actually been the opposite of it by saying things like mind over matter and whatnot. It's been frustrating for me. As we talked to a couple of women, even though I never said a word about it, one of the gals said, "He's not being very sympathetic is he?" I kinda just stared at her as he diverted his eyes around. What do you say to that?! Seriously. Well, I answered honestly with a "no". She went on to explain the following, "I don't know your relationship but it seems to me like he cares for you...a lot...and he would rather deny that you are feeling bad than to have to live with the fact that you feel bad. I bed he hates that he can't do anything about it." To that he quickly said, "I wish I could take it on!" Wow. Talk about a difference maker. Here I was thinking he was being an Ass thinking I was making this whole thing up when in reality it frustrates him that he hates that I feel like crap and hates that he can't fix it. Wow. I have to say that one tiny conversation made that whole day worth it. Oh and for the record...the ice cream didn't work. At all. Not one bit.
