For anyone who has every been pregnant (except for my friend Wiley who is a freak of nature,) morning sickness is a joke. It is all day sickness. Don't kid yourself, you will wake up fine and dandy and then 10 minutes later you are rushing to the bathroom. Rinse and repeat.
So since this isn't my first pregnancy, I took my previous experiments and put them to good use. I eat. I eat all the time. I am literally shoving something down my throat every 10 minutes. This keeps the nausea fairy away and adds about 10 lbs to my rear end. This is a concern for me because I've lost about 15 lbs since before I got pregnant with my oldest son and I would like to maintain that weight. Still I don't want to puke all over my second period either.
I also drink enough water to drown a fish. This is both because I am thirsty and I got used to it when I was on bed rest. Dehydration leads to contraction (but not necessarily labor). Which leads to the second reason I love my bathroom, I have to pee. I have to pee all the time. I mean all the time. It has gotten so bad, the teacher across from the bathroom asked me if I was still teach in my classroom or did I move rooms to the bathroom. I kid you not! (He's a guy, he doesn't understand)
So why am I telling you all of my bodily functions? It is proof that I am indeed, still pregnant. I hate waiting until Feb 2nd to see my doctor. I want to know now. I want to see an ultrasound with a tiny sack and a little beating heart. Then I will feel confident that this is truly about to happen. I'm about to become a new mom for the second go around. I guess what I am saying is, I'm glad I have to pee and puke 24/7 because that means new mommyhood is just around the corner.
By the way, my baby is as big as an orange seed. He he
