Morning Sickness...

and afternoon sickness, and especially evening sickness.

I don't know who came up with the term "morning sickness", but I think a more appropriate name would be "anytime it feels like coming sickness" because it definitely doesn't do its job leaving once the morning is over. I have noticed, however, that I tend to get sick more often when I am tired(which is alot!) and/or hungry. One of Tom's coworkers told him an old wives' tale that if a pregnant woman climbs out of bed over her husband, she won't get sick that day. Most days I don't even think of that but occasionally Tom will say "wait honey, crawl over me to get out of bed so you won't get sick" and I have to say as crazy as it sounds, I did NOT get sick on those days! Some may say it's a psychological thing, and I don't really care what it is...but it works! So needless to say, when I am out in public or anywhere really, I am always scoping out my nearest escape route to the bathroom just in case, because I just can't predict it.

I'm so thankful that I have Tom here to help take care of me with his seemingly endless patience. He's really helped me out so much when I am tired by cooking dinner and bringing me home cravings and sweet surprises, and he's always there to hold back my hair and rub my back when I get sick. Thank you Tom for being so awesome!

  1. Oh, you poor thing! I guess you couldn't get away from the sickness since you're related to me! Sorry! But, look at what wonderful children I have birthed, and so will you. I love you and wish I was there to watch you grow.
