Ups and downs

I feel like this pregnancy has been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster... The highs are so high and the lows are pretty low...

Yesterday was a GREAT day!  I felt awesome all day and didn't take any meds.  I was in a completely upbeat and happy mood.  One of my colleagues even said to me, it's like we have the pre-pregnancy version of you back!  You're smiling, joking, etc... When I have days like that, I forget how bad it is to feel sick.  I think things like, I've finally turned the corner... There's no way I could go back to feeling sick after having such a good day.  Needless to say, I was feeling optimistic.

Well, this morning began like many others... I woke up at about 5am feeling hungry and reached for the box of Cheerios.  I munched for a bit, played on my iPhone and then went back to sleep until about 9.  Since I had eaten and was feeling so good, I felt like it was safe to get up and go to the bathroom.  After I did my business I realized that I had alot to do at work and instead of getting back in bed, I should get ready and go.  Well, as soon as I re-entered the bedroom that familiar feeling came back.  I ran for the ziplock bag and puked for a few minutes.  Once I was done I zipped up the bag and went about my day... I took a kytril, b6, had a bowl of cereal and went to work.  It's so much harder to get sick after feeling so good.  The physical toll of puking doesn't even really bother me anymore, it's the hopeless feeling that I'll never feel good again that's tough to deal with.  I went about the rest of my day feeling fine.  Got alot done at work and felt pretty good overall.

Should be interesting to see what tomorrow brings!
