And I don't even realize it
It's Friday! Excellent. It feels like this week has taken 8 days.
And all of you know now that I'm pregnant, so I feel free to discuss with you just how cruddy I feel this morning. I've gagged about a dozen times, but I feel successful in that I haven't actually puked. And it appears that if I suck on a peppermint, that takes away the gaggy feeling, but it's upsetting my stomach a little bit, so I'm really up poop creek without a paddle here. Except, I guess, that all this nausea should be passing in the next couple weeks. So the real question here is whether the paddle of time will show up before or after I go over the waterfall of poop. What a metaphor. People, I am a poet.
Oh, and I finally got to see the whole Diwali episode of The Office in a rerun last night. Hilarious. "If you die, does your wife have to throw herself on a fire?"

Try ginger flavored anything- ginger ale, ginger tea etc. Things flavored with lemon help too- I was partial to Sprite. Try crackers or anything with salt (I liked french fries a lot!). It seemed when my stomach was empty, that's when I felt the worst, so I just kept eating little things through out the day.
I never tried them, but they sell candy/lolly pops that are supposed to help with morning sickness too. You might find them at a maternity store or at Babies R Us.
YOU'RE PREGNANT?!?!?!?
Katie's right, anything ginger should help. I know you're a fan of sweets and they do have ginger candy and cookies that should do the trick.
I really want your tummy to not be so upset.
Alisa, you card.
Thanks for all the advice. I ran out of Preggy Pops already--I should have bought a bigger bag. The ginger doesn't seem to help too much, although salty stuff does. MAybe I should get some Fritos out of the vending machine. Ooh yes!
ginger had that exact opposite affect on my- I couldn't stand it! I just nibbled a lot and drank hot tea (can't drink it anymore though).
Ooh, did I tell you guys yet how my coworker told me yesterday that my behind is getting big? I've only put on three pounds. I have a feeling she's going to bug me for the next 6 months.
No!!! Was it that co-worker that you suspected was going to say stuff to you? Smack her!!! Seriously. If she says anything again you should slap her across the face and blame the hormones.
Yep, it was her. And then today she stopped me to tell me how excited she is for us. Apparently, she's really revelling in how big I'm going to get. What a jerk.
Next time she says something, point out something really obvious on her, like how big her nose is or how crappy her hair looks.
Did you happen to see the 30 Rock that was on before The Office? One of their classics, too. "Did you buy a beeper from Dennis?" "Yes, I'm waiting for a call from 1983." Alec Baldwin is comic genius, even if he does verbally abuse his child.
Yeah, and I'd seen that 30 Rock before, but I still watched it again. I liked when he was whispering and signing behind Dennis's back: "I love him."
As soon as 30 Rock is on sale I'm buying it. I could watch those over and over again. I'm still upset at Alec but he really is amazing on that show.
Congrats on pending motherhood!! The nausea lasted for me until around 16 weeks, so sounds like you're almost in the clear for that. Maybe you'll be the lucky one to break the boy chain??!!
