My little miracle drug

Can I just say how much I love modern medicine! I finally called the dr on Friday to get some meds because I hadn't kept anything down in 24 hours and had lost 5 pounds in a week. I mean I had wanted to lose those last 5 pounds before I got pregnant but not after and certainly not by throwing up everything. They called in the dissolvable generic Zofran. I LOVE this stuff. I feel so much better. Saying that is kind of funny because I still feel like crap but it is SO much better than how I felt last week. I am actually off the couch and haven't thrown up in 2 days. I can't tell you how good that feels. My esophagus was on fire after throwing up more times in a day than I can remember. Today I am even contemplating taking the girls swimming. I still feel better when I am outside and spend a lot of time just sitting out there until it gets too hot.

I have decided I have a super sensitive nose which aids in the morning sickness. I can smell things that no one else smells and from far distances. At church yesterday one of the classes had skittles. Every time I walked past that closed door I got a whiff of the most sweet smell. The worst was Saturday night Nathaniel was at work and I fixed some spaghetti. I didn't realize until it was too late that the only sauce we had was a garlic herb sauce. Let's just say garlic is my worst offender. I had some starving children so I plugged my nose and fed it to them. I can still smell the garlic on Nicholas' breath. Sat night it was all I could smell during the night. The whole house stunk! I even slept with the window open. Don't get me started on how the garage smells. I dry heave every time I walk out there.

I think I can last the remaining 7 weeks of this if I continue doing well on the Zofran. Thankfully with having the generic now my insurance had no problem filling the 60 pills the dr called in. And it only cost $130. When I needed it with Victoria it was a fight to get just 10 pills and it cost a ton.
