I was hoping I'd get away with avoiding morning sickness this time around. Since most of my pregnancy so far I've thought I was way further along than I actually am, I really thought it was possible that I avoided the nauseous danger zone, but... as of yesterday, NAUSEA has landed.... hard. Like a lead zeppelin. And unfortunately "Whole Lotta Love" doesn't play in my head while I'm vomiting into the toilet.
Thanks to the Motherisk website I have discovered that Gravol is safe for pregnant women, so I took some today and after lying as still as possible on the couch for 45 minutes to avoid bringing the Gravol back up I felt right as rain. If you're wondering, yes, I have tried ginger and peppermint and neither work for me. They only result in the worst, most stingy throat pain imaginable on the way back up. You're welcome, by the way, for all the vomit talk! I know how you love a good couple paragraph's worth of vomitous discussion.
Other than that, things are pretty normal. Lent began on Wednesday, and rather impulsively I decided to give up sugar for the full 40 days. I decided this on Tuesday, after I was reminded Lent was about to start by reading various Facebook statuses about it. I'm soooooooooooo devout, obviously.... but actually, sugar is a huge downfall for me, so this will really be a struggle that is worth it for me to go through. I really think I am physically addicted to sugar, if that's possible. I can't count the number of times I've mindlessly scarfed whole bags of candy without even stopping to taste what I'm eating. Not good. Especially for those WITH CHILD. Here's to avoiding gestational diabetes! Or as I like to call it, dya-bee-tus.
