What's something new you are doing to get ready for baby: My crazy husband just bought $125 worth of Mario related plushies. O M G But for me, nothing really.
Rant/rave/symptoms: I'm learning why they call it morning sickness. Yes, it lasts all day...but when you first wake up, its a truly icky feeling. I've been calling it the morning ick. I walk from the bed to the sink for a glass of water. Then I sit on the couch for 30 minutes trying to get the water to go in. I'm super thirsty, but it feels heavy on my tummy, so its difficult. Then I'm hungry, but nothing sounds edible. I usually make something and sit at the table and stare at it for 15-30 more minutes before going back to the couch.
The interesting thing is, I don't need an alarm clock anymore. I've been waking up 1-2 hours before my alarm for two weeks. So there's time to get my morning ick overwith.
EVERYONE stinks!
Oh, and I've been craving MUSTARD for two days. That's so weird. Luckily, its pretty good for you.
