So, in about 24 hours it will have been one week since I ate anything semi-substantial (my last "meal" was a cup of potato soup at Apple Bees with Amy). I haven't been able to keep anything down since then, for a long stretch even water was not staying down so I had to go to the hospital (AGAIN!). Which sucks, but when you go over a day puking up your stomach acid and what little water you sip and you are responsible for a little life growing inside of you, the hospital even without insurance seems like the Land of Oz. They were able to hydrate me and give me some Zophram for my vomiting... That lasted about five hours before it started again. They gave me two other anti-emetics, which reduce my vomiting a little bit more each day, but I am still completely non-functional. I am exhausted and constantly nauseous and maybe hungry- who knows though?! I can't tell underneath all this nauseau!
I am really dizzy right now and just terrified of nauseau. My whole torso hurts and its very disconcerting. This whole entry is nothing but negative, and I am really sorry for that. I am trying to look foward to the latter parts of pregnancy, but its hard to imagine this Hyperemesis will EVER go away.
We looked at cribs online today. The drop side cribs were apparently banned in December, apparently they caused 32 infant deaths since 2001. We thought about going the El Cheapo route and getting a Portable Crib, but we read that those are supposed to be used for travel and similar situations only and not everyday use. So- there was a convertible crib for $160 at WalMart that came with the mattress. We're thinking about getting it! We'll see! I think we will want to see our crib in person and not rely on a little picture online or random reviews.
