Right now A and I were supposed to be en route to our favorite get away to celebrate my birthday. Instead, I am sitting at home, unshowered, in my pjs, feeling nauseous and tired. Having just sucked down a smoothy - the most nutritious thing I’ve consumed in days, I am contemplating going back to bed for my second nap of the day (it’s 2pm). A is on her way home from Maine. My family is having a party I can’t go to tonight, and tomorrow will be my last birthday in the 20s. The first trimester sucks ass. So instead of a birthday party, I’m throwing myself a pity party this year.

May I join? I too am still in my pjs & contemplating my seoncd nap of the day. I’m sorry that you’re feeling so craptastic on your birthday. I’ve found that holding on to what will be happening come January 2008 helps to make it a smidge more bearable. Hang in there!

Sorry the first tri is being so rough on you. And, yeah, I second Jude. Plan a bday party for yourself during the 2nd tri, when hopefully, you’ll feel like yourself again.
I know that doesn’t help now. If you need a pity party right now, seems reasonable to me.

I hope you’re feeling better soon. This might cheer you up… my 30’s have been radically better than my 20’s. Welcome to the calm decade. You know who you are and you have time to enjoy it. (At least that’s how it has been for me.)

oneofhismoms— that is what every one tells me. i am not afraid of the 30s, i’m actually looking forward to it. it’s just that birthdays are really special to A and i, we usually really do it up. and it was hard to be so sick on that special day, but ultimately at least i am sick with the best present ever, right?! we actually went out to dinner with a few friends and as soon as dinner was over i had to go home, i was feeling so sick…i am such a party animal!
