First of all, I just have to thank those of you who have sent emails, twitter messages, flickr messages and facebook messages to see how I’m doing. I really appreciate you guys reaching out to me.
Two words – I’m fine.
I have to laugh that the last post that has been up for here for a week is called “B6 Is A Miracle Worker,” because it totally quit working miracles. I’m trying to be very thankful that sick mama = healthy pregnancy, but the bottom line is that I’m ralphing 3-4 times a day most days. And the rest of the time, I feel like I’m going to. Either my system got used to the B6 or things are getting hot and heavy in that there uterus. Crazy baby doing bad bad things to momma.
I was so very kindly reminded that I am actually quite lucky. I’m lucky in that it’s not more serious, and I’m not dealing with hyperemesis or anything like that. I have a dear friend on the tail end of her pregnancy, and she’s been out of commission for months dealing with multiple hospital visits to get fluids, serious medication, and generally not being able to do anything. I still have a few good days here and there, so I am thankful for those.
And popsicles. I’m thankful for popsicles.
Okay, that’s IT. I am so done talking about this stupid morning sickness. My last few posts have been about that, and I’m soooo over it. Blah. Done.

Hey Keli! I’m sorry that you are still feeling sick. How far along are you again? I’ll be in my third trimester next week and reading your post reminded me of how bad my “morning” sickness was this second pregnancy, too. I was throwing up constantly as well, for weeks well into my second trimester. It was much worse than my first pregnancy. Nothing worked to help it (I hadn’t even heard about taking B6). Anyway, what I wanted to say is that I’ve been well for weeks now (besides the occasional heartburn etc), and I can’t even remember those days that I was sick as a dog! So just stay positive :) and hopefully soon it will be a distant memory!
P.S. – I’m having a boy this time around.. maybe they are tougher on their mamas? ;)
Girl I’m so sorry you’re feeling sick still! What a pain – but remember it’s all worth it in the end? right? Love u! Praying for you!

Hey, Keli! I’m so sorry the B6 stopped working – such a bummer. :( But thanks for making the time to post today and let us know how you’re doing. I’ll be praying that this part passes quickly for you!
What a pretty picture and I’m even saying that after the many many inches we got here.
I hope you feel better soon. I really do. I emailed you some ideas about the nausea.
jen@odbt´s last blog ..do you hear that?
Hang in there! I never had to deal with that much “morning” sickness, but I remember the never-ending nausea. It’s all worth it in the end!!!

The thing that kept me going was that there is an end point. When the baby is born, you will go back to being able to eat whatever you want and drink water and breathe. That kept me upright (well, most of the time…when the Zofran stopped working as well toward the end of the pregnancy, it didn’t really keep me upright….but I had a countdown going for sure…).
Love you and praying for breaks for you!
hope you feel better soon, and it’s okay by us if you keep talking about morning sickness. i’ve had three miracles pop out after morning sickness, and it’s kind of cool to watch from the outside, knowing that your baby factory is making away!!
