There is a peanut sized creature in my abdomen wreaking havoc. This thing is sucking the life out of me. Sleep, sleep, all I want is sweet slumber on soft pillows. I am a ravenous wolf. I feel as though I've been deprived of nutrients for years and my body is demanding payment in full. I can't believe that there was a time when I lived with this hunger and actually enjoyed it. Now it is gnawing, distracting, all-consuming. The nurse said, "Eat carbs". I'd be saying "God bless her" if it weren't for the fact that I'm nauseous 24 hours a days and then vomiting ingested carbs. So gross. So my life right now. I want to curl up in a ball and sleep. Wake me up when it's over.
If it seems like I'm complaining, then I'm sorry. I realize that there are a lot of people who would do anything to be pregnant right now.

Honey, I'd be complaining, too. The reason everyone wants to be pregnant is so they, too, may bitch without censure.
ReplyDeleteJust find yourself some heavy things for men to pick up for you. That would be oh, so much fun. Like obligatory Whack-A-Mole in reverse.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! And, well, condolences, too, on the oh-so-misnamed morning sickness. I have great sympathy for that. I threw up every-freaking-day for nine months with BOTH of my pregnancies. And still, in retrospect, it was all worth it. Hugs to you andthe little peanut. :)
ReplyDeleteOh yay for you Gwen and the husband's whose name I can't remember. Wait...it's Tod, right? Due date please.
ReplyDeleteWow-- great plot twist! :) Congrats-- I have to say I never got morning sickness and felt really awesome while I was pregnant. And, I didn't have to suck in my gut anymore- yay!
ReplyDeletecongratulations and lots of luck.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, and I hope so hard that the morning sickness shrivels up any time now.
And "bitch" away. I wish like hell I'd had a blog when I was pregnant!
Congratulations YAY...
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of being an eight year old girl...
ReplyDeletezOMG!!! That is awesome!
Congratulations on your acquisition of another short-term parasite. :)
Wonderful news - oh, not about the vomiting but about the baby! Try cloves. Put a couple in a cup of tea - I discovered this when my kids were small. It always soothed an upset stomach. Then I learned that my mother used to chew Clove Gum (I don't think they make this anymore for obvious reasons) through all of her pregnancies to help w/morning sickness.
ReplyDeleteoh what do I know. I hate people like me.
Wow.
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
Congratulations! Lemon water ice worked wonders for me with the nausea.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, what wonderful news! I hope you start feeling better soon, though :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Apparently sour candy helps with nausea, which to me is the BEST NEWS EVER since sour candy is my favorite thing. When I get pregnant I'm stocking up and eating it without guilt.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! For me, ginger ale is the go to thing for nausea. The carbonation helps settle the tummy and ginger is also a natural anti-emetic. I figure at the very least it's tasty. :-) Hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both! I hope the nausea subsides.
ReplyDeleteLemons worked for me as well. I used to slice them up, put them in a ziplock back and take them everywhere. Everytime I would feel sick I would smell the lemons. It actually worked but now I can't stand lemon smell. It brings back bad memories.
ReplyDeletebags not back!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how happy your puking makes me. You go Girl!
ReplyDeleteCongrats girl! Hope the barfing subsides quickly!
ReplyDeleteHey, Congrats! I have [only] 8 more weeks to go, yo. I hope you feel better soon because The Sickness? Is the SUCKIEST.
ReplyDeletelove to you.
Babies are so weird.
