Random sickness

I spent all yesterday doing nothing. I was exhausted from the moment I woke up, and all I could manage was the bare essentials... you know, getting kids food, changing nappies and putting on new movies for the kids. I spent the whole day sitting and lying on the couch or bed. I had had two really busy days previously where I had spent all day cleaning and just generally keeping busy. I guess it was too much? I forget that I still need to take it somewhat easy I guess.

Anyway, after spending all day just feeling tired and exhausted beyond belief, hubby got home and prepared tea... we were having mini hot dogs (mini franks in dinner rolls). An easy, quick dinner for hubby to prepare. We all sat down to eat and it was fine, and then we all had an icy pole for dessert... then suddenly I started feeling dizzy. Not all the time, but if I moved my head a certain way. The dizziness was occasionally paired with nausea, so I decided to go lie down in bed. I found if I lay on my left side I felt okay, but once I moved I started feeling dizzy and sick again. Anyway, I lay there for a fair while, then I got up to go to the toilet. Once I was in the bathroom washing my hands I felt a familiar feeling... and then, spew. Yup. big chunks of hot dog in the bathroom basin. Disgusting. I cleaned myself and the basin up, had a quick drink, then went back to bed. Hubby was getting the kids ready for bed at this point, reading them books, etc. Then when the time came to take them to bed, I just didn't feel up to it - so hubby took them both to bed, which he has never done before. The little miss actually agreed to him taking her to bed, and she even fell asleep for him fairly quickly!
After the kids were in bed, hubby came in and I asked him to get me some water. I drank it, and he left. I rolled over to go to sleep... then realised I needed to get up again... quickly, to spew again. At least it was just water this time. I felt a bit better after the second spew, but still a bit off and a bit dizzy. I went to bed, hoping to sleep it off.

I have woken this morning feeling a bit better, but definitely still not 100%. I don't know what's going on... I thought morning sickness had passed. Maybe it was the hot dogs - maybe they really didn't agree with me, or the baby. Maybe the baby is having some massive growth spurt and my body is struggling.

Anyway, I am over it. It has reminded me how awful I felt for so long earlier in the pregnancy, and I don't like it.
