Okay... where have I been? I'll tell you. Not in my basement...that's for sure.
My basement is very nice, newly remodeled, a clean and pretty living space in our house. We have a TV, video game system, treadmill, and our home computer all down there.
But since I have become pregnant, I can't go down there. It smells funny. When I have to go down there to get laundry, go to the freezer or pantry, or whatever, I have to hold my nose.
I can't type and hold my nose at the same time.
I can't blog, or check my email, or post pictures, or edit pictures, or anything because my basement smells funky.
To the average, non pregnant human being, my house and my basement would smell completely normal. Not unusual or weird, maybe a little bit like a dog (only because I have one).
It's horrible! How am I supposed to go 9 months without doing in my basement? Or my house? - which by the way, I think smells really weird too. I am messed up.
Pregnancy sucks. I don't believe anyone who says that being pregnant is the greatest thing ever. Or that they loved being pregnant. Seriously?! I've been throwing up for 6 weeks. That's a real great time, let me tell ya. I've been in the hospital twice for dehydration. I've let a lot of people down because I couldn't fill obligations that I had made because I am so sick. Does this sound like the best time ever to you? I am on drugs to help me not be so grossed out towards food so that I will be able to eat and keep food down and PUT ON weight. I've lost a lot. I have to live my life on a day to day basis without committing to anything - honestly, that's not so bad, I kind of did that anyways. I get repulsed by smells that no one else smells, sights of ordinary things, thoughts of brushing my teeth. I have a horrendous metallic taste in my mouth that won't go away. I have a catch in my back already and I am only 11 weeks along - that won't let me pick up Elli or walk normally.
Whine. Whine. Whine.
So that's where I've been. Pregnant. Smelling strange things in my basement. Watching a lot of TV. I'll catch up again eventually. Maybe next time I'll be a little more pleasant :)

Oh Jessie, I am so sorry your pregnancy is making you so miserable. But that beautiful little bundle of joy at the end will make it all worth it. Congrats again on the pregnancy. I will pray that you will begin to feel better and those darn smells will go away. Or else you will find a great air freshner or candle scent! :)
I am so sorry your pregnancies are so tough! I wish I had a solution for you. This is an odd one but you could try and put Vaporub under your nose. My stepfather said they used to do that in med school when they had to dissect cadavers. I know they make a baby version that smells lavender-ish and might be less freaky menthol but it might help...
Oh Jessie I am so sorry you have such a rough time I hope it gets better I never liked being pregant either and was sick too but not as much as you are just keep thinking how beatiful that baby will be at the end just look at Elly she is such a great kid
I so feel your pain. I was horrendously sick with Daniel. What made it even worse I was waiting tables at a restaurant. I had a chair in the bathroom that stayed there constantly. I would be doing something scream I'm going to my office and run to the bathroom. Thankfully mine did get some better.
You can come over here and blog anytime you want sweetie...then I won't get so irritated because you haven't posted for so long. Mom
I have missed you. Glad you are kind of on the up swing. I told Robin about your pregnancy. She was sweet and sympathetic. She hopes to see you after your first trimester if you are not still sick.
what a bummer!!! but i love your honesty :-) and i can hear your voice through your words... which i miss!! love you dear... and can't wait to see you - sometime in july :-)
