Pregnant woes

I am officially 11 weeks tomorrow...two more weeks to go until the 1st trimester is over.  This has been an interesting pregnancy.  I have become dependent on Zofran.  It's the only thing that helps me keep food down.  When I don't take it, I stay nauseated all day even in the middle of the night.  When I do take it, I keep food down 90% of the time, but it causes horrible constipation and headaches.  I have suffered through some days just so I can not have to deal with the side effects.  I will feel great one minute and like death the next.  I'm completely exhausted.  I'm also feeling really lonely.  I don't know if it's hormones or what, but since I don't feel well, I feel cut off from the rest of the world.  At this point, I would give anything to have someone come sit with me and keep me company.  It's especially difficult on Mondays and Wednesdays when Kris has class and he's literally gone ALL day.  None of my friends live close, so I don't even feel comfortable asking anyone to go out of their way to come help me out or hang out.  The kids are going stir crazy.  I forced myself to get out of the house in the midst of my misery to take them to Grammie's house just so they could play and be outside.  I wish I could say that I felt great afterward and got a lot of stuff done, but all I wanted to do was sleep...which I couldn't do.  But I am thankful that I got some peace and quiet for a little while.    Sorry to vent, but then again, no one reads my blog anyway, so I can vent all I want.
