I’m having a really bad morning. Not one of those “everything is going wrong” mornings, but the kind where “everything/everyone is pissing me off.” I’ve been on the edge of tears all day, for no good reason. I just woke up (by a phone call, never a good sign) and went straight into feeling overwhelmed and unhappy and very very touchy. Everything is upsetting me. Everything.

But I wanted to write down two things before I forget or lose track.

Yesterday was another completely nauseated day. So in the evening on my way back from a meeting I stopped and bought some Unisom, since I had run out. By that point I had a sneaking suspicion that the Unisom was helping a shitload more than I had given it credit for, since it seemed to coincidental that I felt THAT much worse the days after I stopped taking it. So I took a pill as soon as I got home.

I slept ALL night. And then I’ve been feeling super tired all day. I don’t know if that’s connected or if that’s just me being… me. However, I haven’t felt nauseated at all. Hungry, yes. And then, when I ate a lot, very full. But I haven’t once felt like heaving up everything. I am very pleased by this.

The other thing I wanted to write down was that last night I was sitting here propped up in bed with my laptop. A friend of mine (who is 20 weeks pregnant) was saying how she felt the baby from the outside for the first time. I was typing a reply to her that I hadn’t felt anything at all from the baby yet… when *pop* in my lower belly. Like someone flicked my belly from the inside. No “flutters” like some people describe it… just one little pop. I froze and then laughed at the irony and had to amend my message. :)

I can’t say for sure it was the baby… but I certainly don’t know what else that could be. It was down low, and it was pretty unmistakable, especially with me just sitting still. I can’t wait to feel it some more.
