After two pregnancies, I thought I had encountered some of the worst things to throw up. And while my morning sickness wasn't as bad as a lot of women's, it wad still a solid 80 weeks (total and yes, to the day) of hell.
I'll spare you the details.
Just know that we have what appears to be a quick moving tummy bug in the house and so far, there is no end in sight.
With pregnancy, there are several things to can do to alleviate nausea. Preggo Pops, C-bands, snacking, laying down, ginger tea or gum... My secret was eating whenever I started feeling sick and a cup of coffee every morning once I hit my 3rd tri.
None of those tricks work with full on stomach bugs.
Other things that don't help include ( but are not limited to):
- toddlers
- toddlers throwing up
- toddlers pooping
- smelling the toilet
- cooking with onions
- The Hobbit
- texting
- eating
- drinking
- sitting
- laying
- standing
- walking
- baths
- sleeping
- Advil
- checking the mail
- Pink Floyd's "Stairway to Heaven"
- fuzzy bathrobes
- thinking
- and, apparently, blogging
Ugh... Excuse me while I try to sleep and then wind up in the bathroom. Again.
Oh, and Happy Barbershop Quartet Day! I leave you with the Peep I plopped in my coffee yesterday just to see how quickly it was stripped of it's gritty blue skin. Pretty fast, by the way.
