Food poisoning+2 sleeves of saltines+an Amazing Family!

So I was finally getting past the insane food aversions.  I had made dinner for 3 days in a row.  I know that sounds silly, but when I went weeks where I couldn't come near food without getting so sick, this was quite the accomplishment.  And that was where I made my mistake.  Blasted chicken. I ate some.  And that one, tiny little piece was just a little bit under cooked. Which then gave me food poisoning.  And let me tell you.  Being pregnant and food poisoning is NOT a good thing.  I was so dehydrated and couldn't lay down or stand up without being nauseas and throwing up.

Thank goodness for an amazing husband, a child that self-entertains, a mom that comes to get said child when he just has too much energy, and a sister that will take him to swim lessons when I can't stand without throwing up.  I pretty much have an amazing family!

After 3 days of absolute misery, I finally went to the doctor where they told me what I knew.  I was super dehydrated and still pregnant (always good news).  They gave me anti-nausea medicine and an IV and sent me on my way. I am finally SO much better.  I take for granted my good health!  I only really appreciate it when I no longer have it!  Stay healthy out there!

I'm glad you're better - however, I'm embarrassed you put me in your post since I totally lost him while he was there... in the dressing room... alone. i wasn't much help
