This photo is just outside of the bathroom in the office at work. The past several weeks have been a huge reprieve from the nausea and vomiting that dictated the first trimester, much thanks to a nightly dose of Unisom and vitamin B-6. One of the symptoms we chuckled about in our last post is the forgetfulness that has begun to make a daily statement. Unfortunately, Saturday night ended in forgetting to take the medication that has brought so much relief so far. With the guilt of her previous absence weighing on her shoulders, Kiersten felt the pressure to go to work, although she was much sicker on this occasion than the one we blogged about a few weeks ago. Most of the evening was spent stepping into the bathroom every 20-40 minutes, and absolutely no food was eaten all day. Miserable is an understatement. The only upside is that Sunday nights are more about being on call to make sure no one needs anything than being actively engaged in human interactions.
At 18 weeks, babe is now as big as an artichoke! And mom's appetite has increased, as well - its clear we are now eating for 2! Although Sunday was rough, the rest of the week has gone smoothly, and Kiersten's stomach is starting to feel like a bottomless pit. On Wednesday, things weren't going as well as they could, and she was pleasantly taken aback by a fun message from the little one; check out the lunch plate she filled, it certainly wasn't made that way by her on purpose!
