Valentine's Day

I spent most of today feeling absolutely physically awful. This pregnancy has been harder on me than my first in some ways, and one of them is that the second trimester has been worse than the first. They call it the 'honeymoon' phase for most women; not for me! So far, it's been way worse than my first tri. I've been nauseous more, fighting constant dizziness (doc thinks it's nothing to worry about, I just need to avoid standing or sitting in one place for long periods. Sort of difficult since I sit at a desk on the phone ALL day long.)

The other problem is I really HAVE to eat every two hours, if I don't, when I do eat, I throw whatever it is up pretty quickly and can't keep anything down for the next half hour or so. Seems counter-productive to throw up because I'm hungry....still hungry after the throwing up.
That also seems to happen if I let myself get dehydrated. And of course, the problem with drinking enough water to stay hydrated is then I have to run to the bathroom constantly!!

It's really a catch-22. So there's my whine for the day...

I started writing this cuz I was thinking about V-day and a discussion I had with a friend at work the other day about it. Our husbands both asked what we wanted to do for the holiday and we both said we didn't want to do anything. We basically had the same argument; I'd rather you show me you love me every day in whatever small ways you choose, then one day a year (or just on the holidays and special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries) I'm lucky that my husband is pretty good at those most of the time. One of the best ways he shows me is by taking care of our little man...
