12 weeks

I hit 12 weeks yesterday. Still waiting to feel better.
I had the flu through most of week 10 and into week 11. It started out as what I thought was just a cold. Once I started getting a fever, the OB office was closed, so I couldn't call them. I started taking Tylenol every 6 hours to keep the fever down and Robitussin every 4 hours cause I couldn't stop coughing, which was causing me to lose my hypothetical cookies. I missed 2 1/2 days of work. I went in Friday, but I only made it half day. The following Monday, I was fever free but still felt pretty bad. I knew we were short on people at work, so I went it. I somehow made it the whole day. Thankfully we ended up with an ice storm and we were closed Tuesday and Wednesday. That was much needed for recovery.
So anyway, I thought my morning sickness was gone while I was sick. I had no appetite, but I wasn't feeling nauseous at all. I guess that was just  my body being nice to me. As soon as the fever was gone, the morning sickness came back, and worse actually. I have been getting sick more often. Usually I'm somewhat okay when I wake up, feel horrible and can't keep my lunch down (or dinner if I sleep in late), then feel better in the evening.
But I'm at 12 weeks, so I really think the end of this is in sight.
