Please, Let Me Whine for a Few Minutes

I posted a cute entry last night (at least I thought it was) from my cell phone during class, but apparently, it never went through. Oops.
Sadly, the most you're gonna get from me today is complaints. I feel awful. AWFUL. We ate at a Japanese steakhouse last night for my mom's b-day, and I was careful about what I ate. I mean, it probably wasn't the best food for me to start with, but I took my tums and pepcid before and after, and I only ate 1/3 of my dinner. Well, apparently it was enough to send my body into horrible nauseous, heaving, painful, agony. Last night I puked my guts out, and my body continued to try to puke more, even though nothing was left. I couldn't sleep. Nothing helped. But, stupid me was determined to go to work. Do you know that I haven't missed work ONCE since I've been pregnant, and I haven't had the easiest of pregnancies. This morning I took pepto and ate toast, but I still feel AWFUL. I am clammy and I want to go home. Think I can make it five hours? My last class ends at 3:00. I am miserable. Why do I still feel so bad if I got the food out of me? Why am I still sick period? The morning sickness is pretty much gone, but now I have this acid reflux/my body hates all food thing that happens randomly. Why me? Me, the girl who couldn't order her Thai food hot enough, or her curries with enough spice? I have a stomach of steel. Why does having a bambina in there suddenly change ALL THAT?

Please pray for me. I'm not sure I can make it through the day. I am too scared to drink a coke (coke usually helps) or even try to eat lunch for fear it'll all come back up in front of my kids.

oh sweetie! You poor thing! PLEASE try to go home if you can get a sub. Your body needs it & the doctor orders it. Heehee. Not really dr, but almost PhD pal of yours. :) I will say a prayer for you!

Oh! i am sorry to hear that you're feeling so bad. Try to rest and you will feel better eventually. Get Well Soon :)

That *really* sucks, Hannah. I feel for you and am sorry that you've been sick throughout your pregnancy. :( Just think ... March 31st will be here before you know it, and your little girl's arrival will be close behind. The wrist bands, cinnamon Altoids gum, ginger Altoids, lemonade, lemon candies, Tums, icewater with lemon, bland foods like rice and bagels, etc. all helped me during my first trimester when I felt queasy. I'll definitely say a prayer for you!

Please don't be a hero - no-one out there hands out medals for suffering - PLEASE look after yourself and the bubkins - go home and pull that duvet right over your head and rest, your body needs it. I'm sure your classes won't mind having a sub?

Oh, Hannah, you poor thing. That sounds absolutely awful. That's amazing that you haven't had to miss one single day yet. I'm sure they'd take that into account should you now have to.

The acid reflux kills me sometimes too, and it's been happening more and more while I'm teaching. Mine doesn't sound quite as bad as yours, but I feel for you.
