Say anything?

Uh. I feel like death on a platter. Mine may be tmi 

I flew back to abq for the weekend to surprise my friend for her birthday. We stayed at the Hard Rock casino and went to their club. Anyway, I have been throwing up all day!

The thing is, I didn't really have *that* much to drink, and what I had was over like 6 hours. I have had much more to drink and not had problems. The only thing I can think of is it's due to being back at such high elevation and not being used to that and also I think I was dehydrated.

I finally got to the point I can keep down tiny sips of Gatorade. Water was making me barf earlier, so that's nice.  uggg I don't think I've been this hung over ever. And that's saying something haha

Re: Say anything?

  • Ugh Jilly that sounds like no fun. Feel better soon!

    And it does sound like a combo of the change of elevation and dehydration.

  • I'll bite.

    I consider myself pretty tough but this week has been rough. My parents left so it's just me and the baby.

    He's actually a fairly easy baby though. Breastfeeding isn't that bad and he sleeps well too, goes down at 8, I get up at exactly 2 and 4 am every night and then he wakes up around 7:30ish which is great. But I think he's going through another growth spurt right now and I feel like he is constantly wanting to eat, so as a result, he's crying a lot and I don't have anyone here to help me. I haven't worked out in a week, my house is a mess (except my kitchen haha) and people won't stop blowing up my phone for stupid things. In addition, my youngest brother (who wife is expecting in a few months) can't take care of my other brother's dog who is currently deployed. They asked me to take care of him and as much as I want to because the dog is part of the family and I want to help my brother out, I don't know how I can handle his crazy dog, my own high maintenance dog and a new baby all by myself. Plus I really want to work again and eventually go to grad school.

    I don't want to talk to anyone right now, I just want a nap, I want to stop feeling like I'm neglecting all of my other obligations and I really just want my husband home.

    He comes home for Christmas but then leaves again soon. And after Ranger school he deploys. We've known about this forever and have prepared for it, but this week has just opened my eyes on how dealing with a baby alone for a year is going to be tough. I'm tired of only seeing my husband "every now and then" and I have a lot on my plate :(

    Sorry this got so long. I really just needed to unload.

  • Hope it gets easier soon! I wouldn't want to take in the dog either

  • I've had three pregnancy announcements on fb in the last month. Two were two days apart and one has started doing bump pictures at 4 weeks. Another complains about all the things pregnant women can't do. At 6 weeks she went ice skating but apparent lasertag is a no no. And the other one isn't divorced yet but got knocked up by her boyfriend of 2.5 months. ::bangs head::

  • Yo Red! Move up to Norfolk. If you cook for me and help me get my fat asss in shape I'll clean and stay up with a cranky baby! We could be like sister wives, except way cooler.

    :( Being a new mom is hard work.  Not having your hubby home for an undetermined amount of time and being a new mom is REALLY hard work.  I'm sorry your overwhelmed.  While I've not been in your situation, I've been overwhelmed a time or two.  I've found that taking a hot bath, reading a book, etc to unwind (after they've gone to bed) helps so much.  I hope things ease up on you soon.  

    You're doing a fabulous job.  Keep your head up :)

    This made me :)

     

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.

  • Red- pm for you.

    LL- I played laser tag 6 months pregnant. They had a sign about pg women, but the guy working said their policy was just to tell me to 'be careful, don't run, don't fall.' I'd be tempted to hide her.

    My own- My grandpa was diagnosed with bladder cancer this past summer and he was airlifted to a bigger hospital this morning. I wish news came faster. I'm just twiddling my thumbs waiting for information.

  • Pumpkin, I'm sorry about your grandpa.  I hope you get an update soon.
