You seriously consider asking your boss to institute a 'no fish in the microwave' rule.
we had to institute a "no kim chi- or other questionable Korean food- in the main office" rule at work... not even pregnancy related (I'm the only female there anyways) but one of the people that had to visit our office a couple times a week couldn't stomach it lol
Maybe tmi? I'm always vomiting and always have to pee, so much that sometimes when I vomit violently, I pee my pants! Thank goodness I'm a stay at home mom or these wardrobe changes would be much stranger!!

When you sleep with a body pillow between your self and your husband because your always way to hot and couldn't even think about having him touch you!
Or when puking is actually a good sign that your doing just great.
U can't walk into the kitchen for fear of smelling something nasty (and by nasty I mean something delicious that is just turning your stomach now!!) or the dreaded fridge smells...
When you sleep walk to the bathroom across the hall instead of the one in your own room, wake up mid pee and think "why am I in this bathroom?" Then 2 hours later you wake up in a sweat because you're having a nightmare about your husbands brother turning into a serial arsonist who is trying to burn your house down and kill you... Mind you, my husband doesn't have a brother.
When you seriously consider not brushing your teeth and just letting yourself have dragon breath all day because brushing your teeth makes you puke. X_X
When you email your midwife about your morning sickness that has decided to kick your ass this week and has had you in bed all day today (missing work) and she responds saying this is a great sign of a sticky baby and you start bawling.
Ladies, this made my day. It's nice to be able to laugh about some of this ridiculousness! And I keep reminding myself, this is the very best reason in the world to not feel well.
You wake up early to eat breakfast to combat ms. But then you puke all over your kitchen sink cause the bathroom is too far! I say mornings like this I take the struggle bus to school!
Re: You Know You're in the First Tri When...
(I realize it's irrational, but all I want is lemon, and all I can stomach are crackers.)
Trader Joe's has really thin lemon biscuits!
Looks like hubby has a stop to make on his way home!
