Our whole family was ready to head out the door to a birthday party tonight and I ended up sending them all and staying home. My tummy was hurting. I’ve got a nasty combination of things that are causing my digestive system to practically shut down: pregnancy naturally slows it down so you can absorb more nutrients, I have a tendency to have irritable bowel trouble, I’m having a hard time handling fluids without feeling sick so I’m probably a little dehydrated, and my medicine that I’m taking for nausea also causes tummy troubles. Fun times. That was probably too much information, but that’s my reality right now. Believe me, I could have shared much more. I’m showing restraint!
This has been really hard emotionally. I feel bad admitting this, but I’m definitely experiencing moments when I wonder if it’s worth it. I know that sounds awful. I’m only 8 weeks along and the end seems so far away. Please pray for my physical and emotional strength.
