Long time, no write.
This pregnancy is hard, y'all. Like, way harder than I expected. My first pregnancy was easy-peasy, with the exception of persistent heartburn and sciatica in the third trimester. This one, though... the nausea that started around 7 weeks was wrecking my life. I only barfed once, but feeling all day like I'd just gotten off of a Tilt-a-Whirl was confining me to bed and making me feel like a horrible wife and mother.
Then my doctor prescribed Diclegis, a magical combination of Unisom and vitamin B6 that made life worth living again. A week or so into it, however, the Unisom started keeping me awake. Antihistamines have always been hit or miss for me, either knocking me our or hyping me up, but I had been taking Unisom for occasional insomnia prior to getting pregnant, and had had no problems with it.
It's been about three weeks since I've slept well. I'm not falling asleep until at least 2:00 in the morning, and getting VERY broken and not at all deep sleep in between then and 8:00 in the morning. Once again, I'm back to feeling guilt because all I want to do is sleep... but I can't.
Combine all that with my constant worrying about chromosomal disorders. I don't even want to go into it. If my results would ever come back from my cffDNA test, I think the other problems would start to fall into place, or at least cushion their blow. They said it'd be five business days... it's been six. Come on, science people.
Well, this entry was a big ball of fun. Hoping for better news the next time around.
