Well for me anyways, considering I used to write more than three times a week.<br />What to say...I've been really sick. An infection got into one of my kidney's and had me on my back for three days. That plus the all day sickness had me really down. I couldn't do anything.Missed some work which really sucks cause we are flat broke right now. I have been on some prescription pills for the nausea which helped at first. Now they help a bit but at least it's something. They are really expensive though! $90 for a one month's supply. I hate money. I hate how you need it to live. Thank goodness my parents have helped us out. I hate owing them money though too so it's a never ending vicious cycle. When I was a teenager I always said I wanted to live in a tree. I still think that's a very good idea. I just need a nice big tree in a really warm country:)<br /> My poor husband has been doing everything around the house plus working. He's been really great through this whole thing though. Really supportive and sometimes even going to the grocery store three times in one day. (I REALLY needed some lemonade, apples etc) Although I do remind him that it is his child I will be pushing out...<br /> I had to miss a funeral yesterday which made me sad. My grandma's boyfriend (which sounds funny but they decided it was too much hassle to bother getting married) died last week. He was such a sweet, kind man and I feel so sad for my granny. She lost my grandpa and now Dave, in the past ten years. I cannot imagine how that must feel. My parents and brother and lots of our family went though so that was good. She had lots of support. <br /> I'm really not enjoying being pregnant yet. So far it's been all throwing up, nausea and infections etc. But we have our first ultrasound on Monday so I think that will make me more excited. Hearing the heartbeat and seeing the baby will make it seem more real too.<br /> I am still going to look for a job (thanks for the tip Karina) but need to wait just a bit longer until the nausea stops. Hopefully something will come up in a couple of weeks. <br /> That's all. No deep thoughts. My brain hardly functions anymore.<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> </div> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Dana at <a href="http://danajsperkins.blogspot.com/2006/01/long-time.html" title="permanent link">8:52 AM</a></em> <a class="comment-link" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18104171&postID=113725879634389470"location.href=http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18104171&postID=113725879634389470;>1 comments</a> <span class="item-action"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=18104171&postID=113725879634389470" title="Email Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif" height="13" width="18"/></a></span><span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1272710068"><a style="border:none;" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=18104171&postID=113725879634389470&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" height="18" width="18"></a></span> </p> </div>    <h2 class="date-header">Tuesday, January 03, 2006</h2>  <div class="post"><a name="113631522510276138"></a> <h3 class="post-title"> Another Year </h3> <div class="post-body"> <div> <div style="clear:both;"></div>2006 already. I can hardly believe it. Last year was an interesting one and this next one is gonna be crazy. Full of new and exciting things.<br /> We went to Jen and Jeff's wedding on New Years Eve. It was beautiful. Jen looked amazing. They had a snowflake theme and everything was really pretty. We went to the reception but only stayed until 9ish. There was a dance but I didn't really feel much like dancing. (I am still feeling nauseous pretty much all day long). So we went to Martensville, got a movie and I was in bed pretty much right after midnight. <br /> Now life is back to normal. No more Christmas things to look forward to. I was up at 6:30 this morning throwing up and did not want to come to work today. Thank goodness I have short shifts and don't have a very stressful job. I went to tell my boss today but she already knew. (LOVE small towns.)It's good though - I think they'll be pretty supportive no matter how long of a mat leave I take etc. I am really going to need another job soon though to make some extra money before the baby comes. So if anyone knows of a job - let me know. <br /> <br />Some girls were laughing hysterically today in the library and this is what they were watching:<br />http://www.addictinggames.com/bonelessgirl.html<br />it's pretty funny and pointless.<br />Anyway hope you all had a great New Years. And all the best this next year.<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> </div> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Dana at <a href="http://danajsperkins.blogspot.com/2006/01/another-year.html" title="permanent link">10:50 AM</a></em> <a class="comment-link" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18104171&postID=113631522510276138"location.href=http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18104171&postID=113631522510276138;>1 comments</a> <span class="item-action"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=18104171&postID=113631522510276138" title="Email Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif" height="13" width="18"/></a></span><span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1272710068"><a style="border:none;" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=18104171&postID=113631522510276138&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" height="18" width="18"></a></span> </p> </div>    <h2 class="date-header">Tuesday, December 27, 2005</h2>  <div class="post"><a name="113570669063223436"></a> <h3 class="post-title"> Little Alien </h3> <div class="post-body"> <div> <div style="clear:both;"></div>Babies look like aliens when the first start out. I got in a really neat book that has all these pictures of what babies look like from conception. It's cool to see what it looks like right now and to show Laney how big it is. Every time she sees me she asks how big the baby is and if it is making me sick etc. So apparently it's the size of a raspberry now. Feels like it should be bigger with all the crap it's making me go through though. I know it's all worth it in the end but somedays I feel so gross I can barely function.<br />We had a nice Christmas with family. Watched the girls open all of their many presents and ate good food. We got a cute little onesie from Dane, teddy bear from Wendy and Mitch and a cute little aquarium for the crib for the baby. <br />Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and that you have a Great New Years!

I have pretty much been sick constantly for what seems like forever but probably only about a week. I am constantly nauseous but can't throw up. My stomach churns and cramps all the time. And to top it off, people are telling me that they experienced this their whole pregnancy. If I feel like this for the next 7 1/2 months I don't know what I'll do. I can't take anything cause it could hurt the baby. I never sleep a whole night through and feel like crap when I get up. It gets a bit better in the evenings, usually after 8pm or so. But it never really truly goes away. To top it off I am really emotional (I could cry over sad commercials - how lame is that?) and I have a bladder infection:) I've read so much on morning sickness (wrongly named by the way) and have tried almost everything. Tried freezies today and they worked for a short time. Lemon water helps and eating toast and crackers constantly, keeps me from feeling like I'm gonna hurl all over. But I know I'm really gonna hate soda crackers real soon. I apologize that this blog will from now on be Dana's Pregnancy Blog. Sorry - no more random rambles about nothing. All about this baby.<br /><br />We just found out that good friends of ours are pregnant too and due 11 days before us. Jess and Justin are the reason Zach and I met. I went to school with Jess and Justin in Scotland and then met Zach at their wedding in Nova Scotia. He was Justin's roomate and the photographer at the wedding. So we are really excited that we will be experiencing all of this together. <br /><br />Tanis is due July 5th and not having any symptoms. So not fair! She's great though and feels lots of sympathy for me. I'm so glad that our kids will be the same age. It's gonna be fun.<br /><br />Anyway if you even made it this far - congrats. Now you know what it feels like to me my husband and listen to my complaints go on and on and on.<br /><br />We are hanging around here for Christmas. Should be fun. <br />Hope you all have a Great Christmas and all the best in the New Year! <br />Remember the real reason of the season:) God Bless!<div style="clear:both;
