This may be too grahic for some...

I knew I was in for 9 months (well 7 months by the time I discovered my barren body was with child) of "morning" sickness. But really, in the whole scheme of things, this is something I can handle. Besides, I did 9 months of it before and look what I got - not to mention pregnancy seems to be a great weight loss tool for me. There are times that it's hard to keep that positive outlook when you've thrown up and peed your pants for the 3rd time as you're trying to get out the door. After one particularly nauseous day I returned to work and discovered these on my desk


After getting down my Lean Cuisine that I expected to come right back up I thought what did I have to lose if I tried one of these suckers? The taste was better than expected and surprisingly I began to feel much better. I'm not saying they make you feel like your old self again but they ain't too shabby sister!

So my outlook is much better, I had my first pregnancy dream last night ( I could see a little embryo rolling around just underneath my skin) and when I check out the development stage of my fetus right now, it's looking more and more like a baby instead of a zygote. My teeth may all fall out due to cavities from sucking on Queasy Pops for the next 7 months, but really, I can handle this.

So glad to hear you've found a little relief. Do you take Zofran or are you not a druggie? I wish they would have had a cheap generic of it when I was "queezy". I feel most of your pain. I didn't suffer for the whole 9 months. Only about 5 then I just gag on everything. When I think of this it doesn't make me as sad that those days are over for me. Good luck. Nicole

I remember waking up in the hospital the day after my kids are born and only THEN feel finally better. 9 months of throwing up just sucks. Totally laughed out loud when you mentioned throwing up and peeing your pants at the same time. How pathetic but true is that??? Been there, done that.

I'm with you, Nicole... Zofran is a miracle drug for me.

Doesn't Zofran make you sleepy??

Oh, good hell! I take a month-long furlough from the blogging world (as I've been sucked into Facebook) and look what I've missed! (really, it's OK: exclamation points are needed here) Congratulations! And I agree: soup is just a staple.

I've been slacking on my blog surfing for a few months. I'm so happy to hear you are pregnant! Honestly, the news made me teary-eyed.
