Sick

I am sick today. I woke up at 6 a.m. (which is the middle of the night for us, we went to bed at 2 a.m.) and immediately thought that was odd. Within minutes I realized I was in trouble. I have the stomach bug and have thrown up a couple times. I'm actually pretty stable at the moment because otherwise I could not handle being on the computer.

Of course I'd love to think that this was another sign of early pregnancy. And I have to admit that when I woke up super early, the thought crossed my mind because I've read waking in the middle of the night can be a very early sign for some people. I know it's still very early for throwing up, though (I'm six days past ovulation, at the most eight if I ovulated a couple days before my last peak day), but I know some women do get sick from the get go.

There are more problems with this idea, though. A) I have a temperature - it has gone up and down throughout the day (despite not taking anything like advil at all) and most recently was at 100.9 (people don't get fevers with morning sickness I assume), and B) my husband was sick a week ago. He didn't throw up, but he felt like he was going to all day. That, to me, is the biggest argument against being pregnant.

My mom was worried my sugar was super low after getting sick, so my husband went out and bought me full sugar ginger ale. It did taste good, but it's got quite an aftertaste when you're not used to sugar! I just hope it helps me to feel better. Speaking of my mother, I could tell she wanted to say something about possibly being pregnant, but she was so cautious about it, which is such a nice way to handle an infertile daughter, I thought. Finally, after a few phone calls, she brought it up and was like "well, there's always the real far off very weird possibility that maybe you're pregnant..." I thought that was cute. And, of course, it made me feel good that she even thought it was possible, and she's a nurse. But she also said she really thinks Ryan being sick and the fact that I have a fever show that it is probably a virus.

So we missed our second homestudy appointment this morning. Thanks for all the advice, it's really going to help me when the time comes to answer those questions. I'm going to go relax now before I start to feel sick again. I can't believe I felt good enough to write all this!
