I wish so bad that it was easier to be pregnant. I have a friend who is due on Aug 6th and she has been extremely uncomfortable for the last month; I mean even her face just looks like it hurts. Poor thing. She says, "I just can't do it anymore!" I think I remember saying that a few times with Paige.
I've been trying a few remedies to help deal with nausea, but ginger tea in NASTY! And I lost my motion sickness wrist bands, but I don't think they did anything anyway. What else...I've added a B-complex vitamin to my 'diet' - supposedly B6 helps, but it doesn't. The only thing I have praise for is the Calcium-Mag-D vitamin that curbs RLS. Having restless legs is insane. Totally insane.
Ok so enough venting about that...because I know it's worth it. Having a child is the most amazing thing in the world!
Now before I tackle my messy house, here are a couple pictures from our recent Braaten family reunion.
Guess that's it for now!

oh Brenda, I feel for you with your pregnancy discomfort! I could never relate to people who just glow when they are pregnant, because I always felt like throwing up too. In fact, I still can't even look at a pregnant woman without feeling that sense of fatigued nausea. It seemed to maybe help once in a while to sip on ginger ale when I was expecting Amelia, but didn't help with Blaire.
I hear Grandma B had significant nausea throughout her pregnancies- -(which always would give me such a feeling of respect for her, but also made me feel more like a lame dud b/c she had how many kids? how close together? cloth diapers? and not to mention the physical labor of being a farmer's wife/mommy without the common amenities...)
Anyway, big hugs....it stinks.You are right, it is SOOOOO worth it. When you consider the miracle of your body sustaining brand new fragile life without any conscious effort on your part- -pregnancy discomforts are small change.
Oh, btw...someday you will likely be comforting your daughter(s) throughout their pregnancies. Research shows that daughters of mommies who suffered severe nausea during their pregnancies are more likely to experience it themselves someday.
Hang in there Brenda! We are so excited for you to have another baby since we already know you make cute ones. :) I'm sitting here holding sweet Eva and thinking it is all so worth it- even nausea that lasts nine months. :/ Zofran (or generic) helped me quite a bit if your dr. will prescribe it. I also took Promethazine. Not sure I could have made it through this last one without drugs. This too shall pass...
awww, so sorry you're still feeling that way... hope it passes soon, and you can concentrate more on the Joy of it all! Love ya, Mom
Brenda, you are an amazingly strong person to be able to deal with work, being a mother and wife, taking on-line classes and deal with pregnancy nausea all at once. Hang in there! Like you said, it will be worth it even though it may not seem like it right now. Take care!
Love,
Betty
Thanks everyone for your sympathy and encouragement - I wasn't really digging for any, but it sure is nice to get ;)
Candy your comment just made me cry, thanks for reminding me about our sweet Grandma. I bet she never complained either. Everything we go through makes us want to hug our own parents and say "thank you." Doesn't it?
Wow what a thought that someday Paige will be old enough to be a mommy...well she will definitely have my sympathy when she needs it. Even if she's anything like the little whiner that she is now...haha...
Thanks again.
I'm sure all moms would agree that first trimester morning sickness is the toughest pregnancy symptom. Just imagine daily episodes of nausea and vomiting. Good news is that its completely manageable. Try these morning sickness remedies.
