So Much For "Morning" Sickness

So I have been asked by several people whether or not I have much in the way of morning sickness. A few days ago I was preparing to write a post about how lucky I have been... that my nausea and vomiting have been manageable.

But I have been too busy being sick the last few days to blog.

Yes, I was feeling all smug that despite the litter I am carrying, I was eating pretty much whatever I wanted... as long as I ate every 30 minutes from 3am to 10pm. But in the last few days that has changed. I am now officially "Morning-noon-and-night sick".

Trust me.

I take slight perverse pleasure in the sickness, as it would seem to indicate that I remain in the knocked-up state. But however reassuring the nausea has been, I have had some trouble keeping enough fluids down today. And I have lost 2 lbs in the last 3 days... not a good thing with 5 buns in the oven.

Dr. D just called in a prescription for Z.ofran (aka. Wonder Pills).
Who knows... I might just be able to eat dinner tonight...

****************

Our last appointment with Dr. D (complete with an US) was scheduled for today. A few days ago the Fertility Center called up to reschedule for Monday. I was surprisingly nonplussed by the change. Previously, such a postponement would send me into a bit of a tizzy. Waiting three extra days can feel like an eternity. But this week I have been quite calm about the whole Pregnant-with-quintuplets thing. Don't get me wrong, I am anxious to see how many of the little buggers still have a heartbeat.

But I can wait until Monday.
