Cruddy Day

So yesterday when I said that morning sickness was getting better, I spoke optimistically and far too early. Today has been the day from hell. I wasn't able to keep anything, even water, down until about 4:30. I had a chicken burrito from Taco Bell and then fell asleep. I got to keep it until about 7:30, but then it too departed from me. I'm laying in my bed now trying to fight the urge to go do what is now so normal for me. Is it bad that I've actually turned a five gallon bucket into a stool so I don't have to sit on the floor in the bathroom? It really does make throwing up much less nasty. Firstly, your face is above the bowl, not right smack in it. Also, it can be very helpful when you want to just sit there and feel miserable. I also think it helps clear everything out easier. I'm working with gravity, not apart from it. I have placed a hand towel over the bottom of the bucket, so I even have a slightly padded seat. Today I have been using a dark red towel. I feel like royalty! Anyway, all this to say, today has sucked. If tomorrow is not at least somewhat better, I'm going to just cry. But! I have an appointment with my OB tomorrow. Should be exciting!

Pregnant again

So I have felt like I couldn't blog adequately until I could freely admit that Mike and I are expecting again. We hit 12 weeks this past week, so we are pretty much in the clear as far as first trimester difficulties. This pregnancy has been as different as night and day from the last one. Firstly, I've been horribly morning sick. Luckily this has been getting much better. Its pretty much just settled into throwing up some time after dinner. I can handle that! I'll chronicle more of the differences soon, but for now, I'm going to go visit the porcelain throne and see if I can maintain my raspberries and grilled cheese.
