It has begun

Written on September 21.
Last week the awfulness all began.
From Wednesday night to Saturday evening I didn't keep anything down at all. Friday I went to my ob and he sent me to the hospital for IV fluids. After the fluid and some anti nausea meds through the IV I was still feeling worse than ever but I was sent home. (Luckily, Molly came Friday morning and took Olivia to stay with her over night. She pretty much saved my life).
Saturday afternoon I went to the ER because I still wasn't keeping anything down. They gave me more fluids and two different meds through the IV and I was able to keep down a whole thing of cranberry juice!
Since then I've been taking the two meds they gave me. I still am so unbelievably nauseous most of the time and I still throw up a few times a day but I'm able to kind of eat and drink.
The other night I told John I am allergic to pregnancy and he agreed.
P.s. on Saturday I was 8 weeks (about a week farther along than I originally thought).

Goodbye summer

Written September 8, 2016
August is over and we are back in Provo. August was so busy with a trip to California, moving back to our Provo apartment, and John starting his last year of law school. (So excited to be done!)
We have pretty much settled back in, which is good because this pregnancy is seriously kicking my butt.

I have been nauseous since the day I tested positive, which was super early. Today I am 6 weeks and I haven't thrown up yet but the nausea is pretty debilitating. I'm not excited for the next few weeks/months. And this being about a year sooner than we would have liked it's a little hard to accept but I'll get there.

Olivia has already started to cling more to John, which is good for me, but when he's gone during the day she is pretty fed up with me not being as energetic as I usually am.

But she LOVES babies, like she is obsessed, so once she realizes what is actually going on I think she will be super excited.

Also, I've been craving salty things, which is weird because with Olivia I had pretty much no cravings especially not in the beginning.

I threw up for the first time this morning

Edit 9/10/16
I stopped taking my prenatal because it's what was making be so nauseous. I'm still a little nauseous, but it's manageable, and I still threw up first thing in the morning, but it's probably because of not eating/drinking all night. Fingers crossed this pregnancy doesn't send me to the hospital severely dehydrated like with Olivia.
