- Going to the grocery store inevitably makes me feel like shit. Walking through the first five aisles are fine and then the death hits me and I feel like I'm going to die. No kidding. I was ready to start bawling after I finally got home and gulped down some cold ginger ale. I then desperately shoved the frozen and cold food into the fridge at all sorts of odd angles so I could stagger over to the couch.
- This morning, my husband wanted to get a memorabilia print framed, so I happily went along with him. Ten minutes later I was green and again staggering back into the house to once again gulp more ginger ale. He normally makes fun of me and says annoying things like "better you than me!" However, I think he realized upon seeing me in that state that I might kick his ass and puke all over him. So he was actually much nicer.
- Despite all this feeling like I'm going to die, I have actually had some great hours this past week where I was able to be productive and even contemplate taking a walk. I still haven't made it on said walk, but I'm excited that I even feel like it!
- Last night, I successfully made it through a twisty fifteen minute drive to make it to my hubby's favorite restaurant where they serve all you can eat catfish on Friday nights. I'm not such a big fan, but it works for him. I was happy to make it through an entire dinner with friends to boot!
- Speaking of fish, my husband reheated some in the microwave while I was out one day which in and by itself is absolutely nasty as fish should never be reheated. However, the smell. O. M. G. I had to run for the backdoor to let in some fresh air. I think fish is now banned from my house for the duration of however long this nausea lasts!
- This morning, said friends from Friday night dinner, remembered that I have been LOVING bagels right now. They made a delivery of a dozen bagels from Einstein's which is the only place around here to have fresh bagels. I woke up to my husband dangling the box in front of me...I was unbelievable overjoyed.
That's about it. These are the random tidbits from my life. Despite the constant plague, I would not trade this for a single second! My next ultrasound is Monday, so let's hope my little pumpkin is fairing well in there!

Sounds like a blast! Hope this sickness stuff passes soon for you! Ick.
ReplyDeleteHope you get out for that walk!
The more sick you feel..the more encouraged you should be that your little one is all snuggled in!! Though I remember those days and you just get sick of being sick...not fun. They won't last forever! Soon you'll trade feeling sick with feeling kicks! :o)
ReplyDeleteUGH you brought back memories of the food store. that was the WORST. i hope you start feeling better soon :o)
ReplyDeleteso glad for you!
Oh hon that sounds pretty crap... I have experienced all kinds of bad morning sickness from the drugs... I found pressure point bracelets for my wrists helped.. I got them from the chemist. Hugs. Hope you are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeletelollipops! lemon ones. also "preggie pop drops". really effective.
ReplyDeleteYikes. Hope it passes soon. The "odd angles" story made me giggle!
ReplyDeleteA whole post about nausea. You must really be feeling it. At least there will always be bagels...
ReplyDeleteI'm so plesaed you are feeling sick to the core, and I mean that in the nicest possible way because you deserve the healthiest baby and if that is reflected in a nauseus tum then I say YAY!!! Good luck for the ultrasound, I keep watching your ticker and wondering what the next fruit will be... maybe a plum or large strawberry?
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that it all sounds wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way in that it sucked horrible to have the "I'm going to yack out of nowhere feeling", but I wouldn't trade it for anything!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I was just catching up on your recent posts and you have got nausea BAD, you poor thing. =( I feel so sorry for you that it's so rough right now and hope it starts improving soon. Hang in there ... *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI have SO FELT HOW YOU FEEL! It will soon be a distant memory friend. I would even want to puke and get nauseous just drinking water. UGH! Now I'm eating like a freakin horse! LOL
ReplyDeleteFYI--This is Jen's Mom and I was far more nauseous with Jen than her sister. All day, everyday, and I had a 3 1/2 year old to go with the feeling of being trampled by a thousand buffaloes Almost to the day of being four months pregnant--the nausea went away. A few months later came our second precious gift--Jennifer--the sweetest and most laid back baby you could ever meet.
ReplyDeleteI'm really sorry you are sick... but at least it is for a wonderfuly fantastic reason... it means that your little pumpkin is growing-growing-growing!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for feeling like shit!
ReplyDeleteI am catching up on your blog for the first time in a couple months! This is all so exciting. Congratulations! I'm sorry you're feeling like crap but, as you know, it's a blessing! Feel better :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you're at 8 weeks already! The nausea must be so awful! I'm glad you don't have to try to go to work throughout all of this and you can just go at your own pace...yay for bagels - nature's most perfectly bland food!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Maddy
P.S. Thank you for your continued support on my blog - I totally understand when those who get knocked up don't come around as much, so the fact that you continue to check in and let me know you're there means so much. XOXO
Hey lady, Congrats again on the pregnancy! Try Reed's Ginger Beer. It's strong ginger ale that should help you out a lot. One shot and you are good as new . Hugs, Shell ICLW
