Access to Google should be outlawed. When you are stressed, sick, worried or in general just need information, going to Google is the first thing you do (at least I do). You “Google it” to figure out what’s wrong or to get the answer you’re looking for. We equip ourselves with way too much information and subsequently, have to live with the consequences.
So, here I am scared out of my wits. I found out the reaction I had to dinner at The Melting Pot Sunday night, was shared by my Gluten Free buddy that we had dinner with. It was such a severe reaction that I’m scared that it wasn’t just a GF reaction but that it was food poisoning. I feel horrible today and have a pretty bad head ache – all in all I feel like crap.
Of course I’m worrying about the baby now. We have our ultrasound on Tuesday – so I only have 24 hours left to wait – but boy oh boy did my trip to Google-land screw with my head. I’m so frustrated that I got so sick and that it might have harmed Pedro – add to that my feelings of inadequacy because there’s not a damn thing I can do about it.
Here I was all pumped that I ate a normal meal and got nutrients like most people do – and then bam. No more meal. Now I don’t want food AT ALL! So much for ‘getting on top’ of the nausea.
So once again, I have to turn off my head and pray. This has been one heck of a roller coaster ride and I’m so tired and sick, I don’t know if I’m up for another lap around the block. Going to work is enough stress in itself these days – even under normal circumstances. Add that to the fun with my stomach etc…and I’m having issues pulling it together and keeping it there.
I’m so much fun to be around right now, I’m sure you all wish you could be here with me! Just think, you too could be sitting next to me and watch me sip out of a water bottle 100 times just to drink 8oz and then eat Corn Chex a ½ at a time – it’s a happening time. Maybe I’ll video tape it – it would be scintillating film for sure.
So, keep praying for us all day today – it’s a big one for the McGs – ultrasound and potential job offer – Oy. You can never say my life is simple can you!?!
Sorry about today’s bitch-fest – I promise I will be Google-free for a while and will instead work on a list of questions for my doctor tomorrow. That would be a much smarter use of my time – it just requires waiting which just is no fun – but then again – who said life would be fun right? J
Happy Tuesday Ya’ll!
There is so much to worry about when you're expecting. Usually, it's not as bad as Google makes it seem. My doctor gave me an expression to say to myself to help me stop worrying so much. "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." The moral is, the simplest explanation is usually the right one.
