One in a Million Uterus

A mother of two adopted boys, I have a unicornuate uterus and I am on a journey to see if it can carry a child.

Name:

I was diagnosed with a unicornuate uterus in January 2006. DH and I decided to follow our hearts to the adoption of our two sons. Now our hearts are guiding us towards fertility treatments.

11w, 1d

Just a couple things on my mind.

Had the worst evening ever last night. Ended up going to bed super early just because I figured the only way to stop puking was to sleep. Mostly my puking is more like gagging until I spit up. Every once in awhile it gets more like puking my guts out. My guts were puked out repeatedly last night. Tired of hearing about my puking? Yeah, I am tired of doing it.

Have to laugh every time I get an email from BabyCenter talking about how important it is to exercise during pregnancy. I would LOVE to be able to exercise right now, and I generally hate exercising. I would also LOVE to be able to do lots of other exciting things like laundry and cleaning my house and taking care of my children. Even being able to poop normally at this point would be nice. Been taking prescription colace daily and still it ends up being a really long, drawn out event, often with little success.

I am attempting a day mostly without help tomorrow. Going to the park with a friend in the morning. DH is going out in the evening. My parents are taking me and the kids out to eat for dinner so that is good and helpful. Although I am not sure I am going to go to dinner. I might just send the kids. Projectile vomiting in the middle of a restaurant isn't my idea of a good evening.

Two more days until my next u/s. Babies are supposed to be about the size of large limes at this point. Mostly just want to make sure both of them are there and growing at the same rate. I feel less pregnant in the past few days than I have in the past few weeks. I can't exactly explain what I mean by that. Maybe I just feel sick is all. Normally when I lay on my side I can feel my uterus kinda getting in the way. I haven't really noticed that the past few days.

My hair is falling out. I have a lot of long hair that generally sheds rather rapidly but this is insane. Apparently it is normal too. I'm not fearing that I will go bald or anything by the end of this pregnancy. It is just annoying.

I ate a hot dog yesterday. I know they aren't total taboo while pregnant but I have been trying to avoid them. I just really really wanted one simply because I couldn't/shouldn't have one. So I cooked one up really well to kill any bad stuff and gobbled it up in a few bites. It was highly unsatisfying. The thing I want to eat most is one of those cheap, cold Italian subs that you get from fundraisers. Once again, never care to eat those but really want one just because I am not supposed to eat deli meat. In general, I am just sick of eating. Nothing ever sounds good. I end up eating all the time because after two bites of something I have had enough of it. Five minutes later I am hungry again but then nothing sounds good again and I am tired of eating the same things all the time. Then I have to plan out when I eat what and imagine how it is going to be if it comes back up and whether it is worth the risk. Heartburn happens often so I have pretty much ruled out a bunch of food on account of its ability to make me miserable in that sense. Even when I do think of something that would be tasty or I might be kinda craving, it is something odd that we don't have on hand and of course I am too sick to just pack up a car full of kids and run out to the store to pick up something like fudgecicles just because I really want one.

Sex would be nice at this point too. That hasn't happened since the beginning of June. I have no doctor's restriction on it but the only time DH can fit sex into our schedule is in the evening, and that is the time I feel worst. A couple weeks ago all I could think about was sex and how we could fit it in. I think my libido finally gave up getting worked up knowing it just isn't going to happen.

I love water. I usually drink water with dinner and sometimes with lunch. Unless I have just been exercising though, I mostly am not a fan of just drinking water for the heck of it. Water is all I want. It has to have lots of ice in it. Cold cold water. Yumm...

I'm having an excess saliva issue. Apparently this is normal too. I feel like I just ate something sour all the time and my saliva glands are going crazy to try to flush it out. Sometimes the excess saliva is what triggers me to throw up. Sometimes I run to the bathroom thinking I might throw up and feel a lot better if I just spit in the toilet a bunch. Drinking cold cold water helps this a bit because it means all the liquid in my mouth is heading down my throat for a second instead of just sitting there being annoying.

Apart from talking about loving water, I know I sound like all I do is bitch all the time. I really don't. I don't actually bitch much at all, apart from telling my husband and mom maybe once a day how tired I am of being sick. I guess I just save up all my bitching and do it on my blog so I don't have to do it in real life.
