Jan. 3, 2007 - Happy New Year

Well, my Happy New Year came and went while I tried to sleep off a migraine.  It started Monday in the afternoon, while we were cleaning out the garage.  It went away last night after a walk in the cold night air.  Of course, in my present condition, I can't take anything for it.  Of course, I only get them this bad when I'm pregnant.  This was actually the third one.  Back in November when I called for my first visit, I went ahead and asked the doctor for Phenergan (or the generic-oral pill).  That's the only thing I can do-- sleep it off until it goes away about 24-32 hours later.  They gave me the prescription, and then mailed me a letter explaining how to ward off morning sickness.  This isn't NO morning sickness--blaa.  Another friend said I need to drink water.  That's not it either.  I drank myself stupid (well, with iced tea) at a girls' night out with friends the night before.  The only side effect was multiple trips to the ladies' room.  I don't think dehydration was the problem.  Water or other beverages only make me feel sloshy (spell check doesn't like that word) and more nauseated.  Ahh, don't we just love being pregnant. 

Today I feel great. We had a great day of school.  We enjoyed our assignments and worked on them together.  We read about the men who were swallowed up in the earth because they were unhappy with Moses' leadership.  Moses was sent by God--so there.  Accept it.

I wish I had not been sick during the New Year Day.  I feel as if I missed an important day of the year.  I didn't get any goals written down or made any plans for the year.  I didn't make any commitments or promises to God or anyone.  I didn't even have a prayer time with my family dedicating the year to the Lord.  Oh, I hope this doesn't mean we'll have a bad year.  We did kiss after the clock turned 12 midnight; maybe that'll help.
