I GOT IT!

it's the vitamins!
the prenatal vitamins are making me sick! i didn't take them yesterday and i could actually do stuff! i even cooked!
i made a big pot of potato soup and corn bread! of course i'm sharing with my neighbor and her kids today b/c the recipe makes a ton!
i took the vitamins before bed to see if that helped.
the mistake:
i've been taking an extra b6 to help with the nausea. b6 is some kind of energy supplement or whatever.
so i got next to no sleep.
i won't be doing that tonight.
i figure i'll deal with the vitamins until i can get to the dr and get her opinion. it's pretty common that the vitamins make pregnant women sick. the vitamins aren't for the baby anyway. they are for you. the baby's gunna take what it needs from you, so you have to dbl up to replace what life the kid sucks out of you!

anyway, i'm gunna switch up the vitamins for a bit and take them at bedtime and then maybe i'll sleep thru the icky feeling part.

oh, and i called the insurance company again b/c the lady never called me back like she said she would. again.
i left a message. an hour ago.
this is ridiculous!

Yeah, that would do it.

Can you chop them in half (or smaller) and take those pieces a bit at a time, like one piece with each meal, or something...? rather than dosing your system with the whole thing at once?

what an interesting suggestion.
i actually hadn't thought of that!
i may try it!
thanks auntie shades!

I'm sorry you're feeling bad. It was a while ago since I took those things, but I don't remember ever getting sick. Take care of yourself.

I like Shades suggestion. A more gradual supply over the course of the whole day may help rather than a quick jolt to your system. Glad you worked it out though.

We need to light a fire under those insurance people.
