This week has been absolute hell. I wish I could say that being without Reid is the only thing that has made it that way, but I would be lying. All I’ll say is that morning sickness is no joke. And it’s also not limited to the morning. I keep telling myself that it’s all worth it, that plenty of women go through much worse and I am beyond happy, but the throwing up has got to stop at some point, right?!

But I do miss Reid. We talk every night and he texts me sweet nothings while I’m busy at work, but it’s not the same as being next to him, feeling his warm solid body next to mine in bed. I know it’s silly to miss him this much. It’s only a week and with the possibility of him not being able to move his internship, I might have to get used to the idea of being separated from him more often.

Thinking about Reid and about our future has me up before my alarm rings. The queasiness I’m feeling is also keeping me from sleep. I’ve learned to keep some crackers on hand at all times. They seem to have helped this morning because as I climb out of bed and get ready to shower, I don’t feel like I’m going to puke. I don’t feel great by any stretch of the imagination, but I feel like I can at least make it through the morning without hurling.

When I leave for work, Mel is still fast asleep. She’s been going out a lot lately with some people I don’t really care for. I think being apart from Bryan has really gotten to her. They’re still not on the same page with their relationship and I know that it’s crushing her. I wish I could be there for her more, but she keeps pushing me away. It’s not an overt thing, but she’s just avoiding me. Sleeping when I’m awake or going out when I’m home. I miss her and I just wish she and Bryan figure things out.

The morning passes quickly at work. I really do love my job. The women here are amazing and kind and so funny. I haven’t told any of them about the baby yet. I plan on telling Kathy soon as I’ll need to make plans for some kind of maternity leave.

As my lunch break approaches, my unsettled stomach returns; however, I know this queasiness has nothing to do with my morning sickness. I’m nervous because I’m meeting Jay for lunch. After Reid knocked him out last week, I had to call him to apologize. I didn’t feel right leaving things the way we did. I need for him to know that we’re done and that I’m with Reid, but he doesn’t deserve to be treated like a piece of trash.

I told Reid as much over the phone the other night. He wasn’t happy with my decision. He started ranting about how I’m his and he won’t share me and all that crap.
