Nausea and Exhaustion

I think I am feeling a little more nauseated every day. I woke up this morning and sort of felt sick to my stomach even before I took the Cytoxan. Taking the Compazine with the Cytoxan hasn't really helped compared to taking it after I start feeling sick. I was pretty ill for a couple hours today, but started feeling better after lunch.

Amelia has maybe outgrown her swing which is unfortunate. She keeps trying to rock forward out of it and would have landed on her head if I wasn't there. It is really close to the ground, so her falling out of it isn't quite as scary as it sounds, but I still think that she is probably done with it. I hate to quit using it though because she takes her naps in it. I tried to put her down for a nap in the crib today and she kept startling herself back awake. Finally, I got the idea to swaddle her like we do at night and that helped a lot.

My mom was gone a lot of day and I didn't really get a break taking care of Amelia. Then around 9pm, I really crashed. My back started killing me and I just couldn't hardly keep my eyes open. I laid down on the couch, but didn't sleep for about an hour while my mom held Amelia. I feel better now, but the sudden exhaustion was hard.
