7 Weeks

This week had to have been the LONGEST yet!!!  The morning sickness is finally in full swing...except that I (luckily) am not throwing up.  I just FEEL like I will blow chunks at any moment, or if I move to quickly. 

Last night, we went out with some friends to see The Hobbit...in 3D...HFR (High Frame Rate).  What this means is that the film was shot at 48 frames per second, rather than the usual 24.  It appears much more realistic (supposedly) and everything goes much faster.  Add in the 3D and it's a recipe for MAJOR MOTION SICKNESS.  The volume was also about 10 times louder than I like it.  Needless to say, about halfway through, I wasn't feeling well.  I think I am still paying for it today.  It was a GREAT movie though and great to hang out with friends we don't see often.

Today, I feel like I am still paying for it.  My eyes are achy and my stomach is doing flips.  This whole week has been pretty much the same.  I only ended up working a day and a half because I was feeling so lousy.  I guess I am lucky that I am only FEELING sick, and not actually GETTING sick...

Recap of the week: Nothing (food-wise) sounds or looks good to me.  I had a craving early in the week for In-n-Out, which was pretty tasty.  On Friday, I went to Red Robin to buy my grandma a chocolate milkshake and decided to order myself some clucks and fries (a favorite of mine from high school).  The clucks were yummy...the fries, not so much.  Smells (of any kind) make me nauseous.  I sleep fairly well, all the time.  I am even taking naps now to get through the day.  I am also an emotional train-wreck.  Everything makes me cry.  I think it's probably because I feel so lousy and so helpless.  It's kinda pathetic really.  haha!  Jeff has been really supportive though.  Today he's pushing the ginger ale.  He loves me!

Another highlight of this week is that my grandma has been staying in town.  My mom and dad went to Hawaii this week to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary, so we found a lovely place for Grandma to stay while they are gone.  I have really enjoyed going to visit her almost every day.  She seems to like the place and is always commenting on how nice and clean it is.  On the days that I don't feel well, Jeff steps in and visits her.  He loves spending time with her, and I know she really appreciates it too.
