I’ve been hiding from the quease for the last several days now. I’ve managed to keep it away by almost constantly eating. 😀

Granted, I’m not talking meal after meal’s worth, just a little something here, a little something there.

Many mini meals, if you will.

Like a small bowl of cereal first, then a little later an apple, then some water, then some hot chocolate (because coffee is still mad at me) then a little after that, maybe a handful of raw almonds and walnuts…

Any way, you get the idea. Keeping the hunger at bay helps keep the acid down which heads off the quease. Granted I feel like I just happen to catch it just right, because this whole getting through the day without wanting to puke just came upon a midnight clear…

Christmas puns in September, oh boy…

Today I woke up feeling great! A little tired, but no nausea! I even had scrambled eggs, sausage with cheese, and hot chocolate!

Is it too much to hope for that the morning sickness is over? I mean I’ve only been up for four hours, but… *sigh*

Besides that, I’m feeling a little squeezed into my jean capris that I had had to take in twofold (I took them in properly but it wasn’t enough so I added another button to tighten them perfectly). Well, now I have to use the old pony-tail-holder-extender trick.The one where you loop a hair tie around the button hole and then put the loop around the button. I am able to loop to the smaller button, but I’m running out of time to surprise my besties. :-0

I’m thinking of getting them a little something and signing the card with Baby’s name- tricky thing is, obviously, we don’t know if he’s a he or she’s a she :-/

Ok, so the quease-factor so far this pregnancy hasn’t been bad- pretty normal for me. It’s just been a constant feeling of nausea that makes nothing sound good but I can still function well enough to homeschool the girls, prepare meals, lead in the clean-up, etc. It does, however, make reading difficult and the only thing I can really stomach is water and tomato soup. Still, I know it could be worse!

But yesterday, oh boy! I found myself having to stop going to the bathroom to curl up on the floor taking slow deep breaths until I could stand up again. Then I was able to make it to the living room where I had to grab one of the girls’ bean bag chairs and I lay down on that for several minutes to breathe through it.

I figured that maybe I needed to eat something to calm my stomach down so when I was able to, I slowly made a small bowl of cereal and ate it practically laying on the table. When I finished, I was able to take my vitamins and then promptly needed to lay down in bed, but on...
