Morning sickness???

Warning: this post may have too much information for you if you have a weak stomach!

So on Tuesday I was feeling rather blah during the day, and by dinner time I had no appetite and could not even look at anything food related. I wasn't even able to drink water because ingesting anything by that point was revolting to me. Jesse told me that it must be my morning sickness really kicking in at 10 weeks, and that's kind of what I thought as well.

I went to bed around 10pm and was unable to sleep because my stomach hurt so badly. At 11pm I woke up after I must have dozed off for a bit, and the vomiting began! Ugg! That lasted for 4 hours before I finally fell asleep on the couch. This was not morning sickness!

By the morning I was so dehydrated, and of course the vomiting started again when I tried to drink some liquids. By 9:30am I finally decided that I needed to go to the ER for some IV fluids. Normally, I would just suck it up and deal with illness, but I knew that a long period of dehydration was not good for me or the pregnancy. My dear baby sis was kind enough to take me, and I ended up being there for about 5 hours. After some anti-nausea medicine, 1.5 liters of IV fluids, and electrolytes in the IV, and some sleep on the uncomfortable stretcher I was starting to feel a touch better.

On the ride home I was able to keep down 8 oz. of ginger ale, yay! My diet for last night consisted of some Gatorade, water, more ginger ale, and a little applesauce. Today, I've managed a whole banana and some more fluids, and I'm feeling much more like myself! Woo hoo!

I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon to check on the little one, and then some plans with my husband this evening.
