Throwing in the towel....

Man I am beyond happy and blessed that I am pregnant BUT this first trimester sickness is for the birds. There have been a few days lately that I have woken up feeling great; however, by lunch I am feeling poopy again :( The last two days I have felt horrible pretty much the entire day!

This weekend is the wedding of two dear friends, Nick Laughlin & Erica Lesko. Mike is the best man and I am reading in the wedding. The two soon-to-bes came down this past Saturday and have been staying with us until today when they headed down to St. Pete beach where the wedding is going to be. I am pretty worried that I will feel horrible during this amazing moment for our friends & that is a reason why I am throwing in the towel. We have our first appointment with our OB, Dr. Irvin, tomorrow am. I am excited to have a first sit down and go over the typed list of questions...but also to ask for some help with this sickness. I am not asking for a magic pill just so I can have a great time at the wedding, but so that everyday from tomorrow on can be easier! It is so hard to be productive when you feel like you want to hug the toilet AND have 30 lbs weights on your eye lids....

We have a fabulous restaurant here called City Fish and it is a fact we will go there when Nick & Erica visit. Last night we were all so pumped to go and chow down on the most amazing app steak madiga. As we were ordering Mike and I both wanted to share some yummy crab legs.....yummy was the last word I thought when it arrived to the table. As soon as the server placed it in front of us the smell made me want to jump across the table and head for the restroom. I tried to look down at my own food, steak and spinach, and concentrate on that and not the gawd awful nastiness in front of us. But, the smell kept me from eating another bite..... Mike picked up on the situation and then so did everyone else. Thank goodness Mike, as usual, had attacked the crab legs and there was hardly any left. He quickly moved the basket and I sipped on H2O. I tried to eat dinner but that smell took my appetite. Thank goodness Erica is my soul sista and ordered their fabulous tableside banana foster- Mmmm Mmmm good. So My dinner consisted of some great bread, 4 bites of my steak & 2 bites of spinach and ice cream with banana foster!

So less than 4 weeks until this first trimester is over and hopefully I will gain my energy back and can say GOODBYE to nausea!!
