So I stayed home.
And, since Mike had the same symptoms he stayed home too.
We did nothing. We didn't even have afternoon coffee. We just hung out trying to get better, enjoying the quiet, and sleeping. I slept for 4 hours straight and was still tired.
It sucks that the only drug available when you're pregnant is Tylenol and Tums. Oh how I miss Nytol and Gravol!
We weren't the only tired ones in our house.
Sunday night my parents came to visit. And, since Matt had no interest in dinner we let him play downstairs. When it suddenly got quiet I went downstairs to check on Matthew.
He got very tired from playing with his toys...No wonder. A mess is an exhausting thing to create!
Even Rosie came to inspect it!I thought it was kind of funny. This, to me, is how a playroom should look! I'm leaving it.
And, on a totally unrelated topic, I've been somewhat fascinated (or obsessed) with my weight during this pregnancy.
When I had my last visit with my family doctor, she said that my goal this pregnancy should be to gain no more than 40 lbs. To me that equates to 1lb per week. But, my last pregnancy I gained 87 lbs!!! So that's about half.
Granted I still puke on a regular basis, so that kind of helps me not gain weight. But, so far I've gained only about 8lbs. My OB says this is fine. I find it fascinating. Especially since the baby is growing, and I'm definitely getting bigger. And, as of Thursday I'm halfway through this pregnancy. And even though I don't want to gain 30 lbs in the 2nd half, I still sort of feel like I don't need to be as concerned as I have been.
Who knows.
It's just something that's been on my mind.

You know I gained as much weight as you with Charlotte.. but only 13 lbs of it, was during the first 20 weeks. I gaoned the remaining 50 or so pounds the last 20 weeks..
It was like once the morning sickness was over and I had that surge of energy, I couldn't stop eating!!
Sucks.. I truly hope next time around I don't let myself do that.
I cannot believe he just crashed right there in his playroom--that's awesome!
Hope you are feeling better today.
We're still not :(
Too cute:) The kid, not the playroom! But it is exactly how a playroom should looked - played in!
