Morning Sickness
I am now 6 weeks and 5 days into my pregnancy and thought that I was going to be one of those lucky people who wouldn't experience morning sickness. Besides being a little tired and emotional, I have felt GREAT. I was even feeling a bit guilty about feeling so great when everyone shared their horror stories about morning sickness. However, last night as I was deciding what to eat, nothing seemed to sound good. After much looking, Neil gave me a suggestion and we ate. After dinner, I felt yucky. I have no better word to describe it than yucky. I told myself it was just a tummy ache and went to bed crying. This morning I woke up with the same yucky feeling and it has stayed with me all day long. Thank goodness I'm a teacher and am off for the summer. I have exactly 3 weeks to get this under control and go back to work! All I have done today is eat small portions of anything that sounds somewhat desirable, wrote a post for my masters class, and just took a shower at 7:30 pm. The best part of my day...Neil came home an hour early, looked at the pile of unfolded laundry, dirty dishes in the sink, our unmade bed, pregnancy books scattered across the floor, me still in my pjs, and he said "I love you" and gave me a hug!

Sorry it gets the best of most of us. Hope it gets better before you start school. Babies are so worth it!
SO glad you have a sweet husband to take care of you! You'll get through it, and have a beautiful baby to show for it =). Hope you feel better soon!
Congratulations Kimberly! Just keep eating what sounds good frequently. Don't listen to those crazy pregnancy books about what you are supposed to be eating, it will only make you crazy and if it doesn't sound good, then it will only make you feel worse! Try sucking on candy, gingerale, ice cream! Hopefully it passes soon!
So sorry, babe. Hope it passes soon! The good news is that the reason you feel sick is because the baby is growing and developing the way he/she should. So in a way, it's good news!
I know, that's the last thing you want to hear when you feel icky :( :(
P.S. I love the new blog background!
