Motivation!

I was reading an article online yesterday about a woman who couldn't get pregnant for quite a few years. She said she would always get upset when her friends would complain about morning sickness because she thought, "I'd do anything to have that feeling if it meant I was pregnant!" Well, she did get pregnant and DID get morning sickness, and she said she quickly changed her mind. She said there were days when she even prayed to miscarry so she could end her misery. I haven't reached that point yet - but there are moments I wonder if it will all really be worth it! (Everyone keeps assuring me it will.) 

I did get to the point today where I started Googling "Zofran" and other anti-nausea medications. I did some research via the Hopkins Library, however, and none of these medications have been proven safe or unsafe during pregnancy (they are considered "Category B" drugs, which mean tests on pregnant animals have shown no ill effects, but no conclusive tests have been done on humans). After feeling a little better in the afternoon, I realized I would endure.

I have also gotten to the point where I went out and bought a little jumper to look at to remind me to of the end goal. =) I pull it out of the closet during the day and think "In just 7 1/2 months there will be a little person filling these arms and legs." It helps.
