So I just posted about stuff surrounding my sister-in-law Mary. Now I'll post about the food poisoning I mentioned.

Pretty sure I drank some bad milk yesterday. It probably was not enough to make a normal person as sick as I have been, but when you're pregnant, your body really makes great efforts to keep baby healthy, which includes getting rid of stuff that isn't good for baby ASAP. It's actually kind of a marvelous miracle when you think about it, like much of pregnancy, but obviously it does come with some "cons."

I'll spare you as much of the details as I can, but just to give a time frame, I first got sick about 7:30 last night. I've already notified my doctor; she recommended water and 7-Up and applesauce, which I've so far been able to keep down, although I've only eaten about 5 bites of applesauce total. I haven't thrown up for several hours, but my tummy still feels incredibly sensitive, so I have been avoiding food except those couple bites of applesauce.

I guess that's really all there is to say. I could use some extra prayers. I just want this to be over... :(

Update: Turned a corner for the better about 10:00 last night. Thanks be to God... However, I'm still feeling very weak from lack of calories, and I'm down to 136 lbs., which is the rock bottom of my PRE-pregnant "ideal weight" range and totals my weight loss since getting pregnant to 10 lbs. :( This definitely concerns me. I did e-mail my doctor today to let her know and ask if I should be concerned yet, so I hope to receive a response from her soon. In the meantime, I'm going to continue munching Cheerios... And I hope to try milk soon, although milk is what brought this all on, so it makes me nervous to try it.
