Back with a vengeance! :(

Just when I thought I could start enjoying being pregnant I get hit with the worst case of morning sickness!! Actually I kinda think it was a case of the 24hr stomach flu cause there is no way that morning sickness could be that bad! ? I don't think ?! Friday at work I had my afternoon snack, a pear, seems pretty innocent but not half an hour after eating it I was in the washroom, first time ever that I have gotten sick at work!? I just assumed it was the baby telling me it doesn't like pears and decided that I would still go to the scrap booking party that I had been looking forward to all week! So I headed to St.Albert still feeling a little ill, stopped for supper - probably not the best choice (Taco Time) but I had a craving for those little tator tots! ;) It took me almost an hour to finish supper which is very unusual for me and headed to the scrapbook party. When I got their I still felt a little green but no worse then regular morning sickness, then it hit me - I think I was in the washroom every half hour! The lady had a very nice house - too bad I made a mess of her bathroom!! I felt so bad, I really wanted to do my craft but I felt so sick I just couldn't stick around, I had to leave. I got home just in time to get to the washroom again! I was so exhausted, my stomach hurt, I couldn't even keep water down! I was up all night, every hour - in the morning I tried to stomach some toast but that didn't last then finally for lunch almost exactly 24hrs after my pear snack we had chicken noodle soup for lunch and I was finally able to keep that down! I was starving - I hadn't eaten for 24 hours but I knew I had to take it slow. I still feel like I need to catch up from the lack of food baby had but my stomach does not want me to indulge too much (which is good I suppose). In total I think I got sick 9 times !! Which is why I believe it was the stomach flu and not morning sickness.

So I was a little concerned that because it was the flu that I wouldn't be able to attend my niece's 1st birthday party on Sunday! I didn't want to make her sick, but I felt better Saturday and Sunday seemed to be good so we went. She was so cute in her little party dress, she didn't really get into the cake too much - she isn't the type of kid that likes to get too dirty. She got lots of clothes which guess she needs but I just got her the gift card. When I was picking up her gift card I thought I would check out the new super Wal-mart's baby section but I ended up just walking through it aimlessly. I really wanted to buy something but there was nothing that I thought I should buy plus it was hard to find stuff that wasn't gender specific. Plus the more I walked around the more I felt like I was shopping for someone else's baby, I felt like I didn't really belong in that department!? How weird is that!? Maybe I don't quite believe that it will be me squeezing this melon out? I'm sure after I actually get to see the baby on the ultrasound I will believe it more!? I hope!? ;)
