I believe I am turning a corner. I now am able to eat fruits and vegetables again. This morning I made a fruit and yogurt smoothie for breakfast. It's pretty amazing that I could eat strawberries, raspberries, bananas and peaches at all, let alone all mixed together. Oh sure, I also threw up this morning, but that's only because the toothbrush is my ARCH NEMESIS. Yesterday I was able to do a sink full of dishes and make a box of macaroni and cheese for dinner. You might not think this is an accomplishment, but ask my husband--it's been a while since I did either. Oh sure, after cleaning and cooking for 25 minutes straight I was so wiped out I laid on the couch for the rest of the evening, but it's a small victory. I didn't say I was around the corner, just turning it.
But my new sense of optimism is giving me hope that I will feel normal again. That I won't feel like a person on the brink of death for the rest of my life. That this pregnancy is actually progressing. Hooray.
Tomorrow I'll probably vomit twice and feel unbelievable tired and take this all back. But today I feel like a human being.
Last night Jon came home from work and gave both dogs a bath. Our dogs hate getting baths, but it was time. Tucker kind of keeps himself relatively clean and doesn't get baths all that often, but it had been too long. Sophie had an incident, shall we say, that required a good scrubbing. But it made me think that this will be our lives soon. Jon comes home from work, or I'm getting ready for sleep, and we have to bathe our little one and put them to bed. It made me kind of excited to have this kid.

Your post made me laugh so hard. Ahh, if I didn't get pregnancy amnesia I would never have had another one. Whoever came up with all these pregnancy side-effects was a cruel, cruel person.
