It's the vitamins, I'm telling you

Monday, January 16:

The prenatal vitamins are making me sick. On the days I take them, I feel queasy -- not nauseated enough to throw up, but kind of unsettled -- I also have to take a one- to two-hour nap, and I cannot sleep through the night without having to get up to pee.

Now, apparently these are normal symptoms for the first three months -- the first trimester. But on the days I forget to take the vitamins, I feel fine. I don’t feel pregnant at all. Maybe I’m not. I resolve not to take any more vitamins until my appointment with the mysterious nurse practitioner next week.
