Saturday

Insocdessfully went to a restaurant this evening with my family. They all knew my situation, so that helped, but the place didn’t have much of a scent, so that really helped.

However, though I was kind of able to eat, I ended up with a massive stomachache by the end of it, and started gagging at the sight of any leftovers… and just about any food or drink I saw the rest of the night. I have been miserable since then.

I’m sitting in bed now, considering whether I might go to sleep anytime soon, as my body is acting like we need to repeat last night, in which we sprinted multiple times to the bathroom until I finally had an absolutely miserable bowel release. Not to mention that the foulness of it nearly made me hurl while it was still happening.

Yes, this pregnancy so far sucks. Totally.

God, help to ease the nausea and pains within me, please. Help me to find joy and ease at this opportunity. Release me from the misery I am mostly experiencing all day and night. Make me especially well while I grow this baby, please. Keep us all safe, my husband especially, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
