mark your calendars (not for the squeamish)
this is the day i officially start complaining about being pregnant. all it took was 7w4d. just pathetic.
but i have good reason. honest.
i just blew the biggest chunks of my life.
the vomit propelled itself up and out with such force it hit the toilet water and bounced back out on my face, my feet, and everything in between.
my egg sandwich, orange juice, ginger ale, chocolate soy milk, cream of broccoli soup, berry applesauce, peanut butter crackers, an m&m cookie, salmon, rice, seaweed, crab-stuffed inari, the half of a mocha mousse cup my mother got me as part of my sister's birthday yummies from my favorite bakery, the half of an apple fritter from the batch she got from the market today for our breakfast tomorrow that i "borrowed" for a bedtime snack - all gone. in pretty much the exact reverse order.
i'm already so tired of the nausea. i thought it wasn't supposed to be as bad the second time around. i have the drugs, but it takes a while for them to kick in, and i'm wary of taking pills all the time. i try to only take it when i absolutely must. but i can't always determine the must moments quickly enough.
on the bright side: i'm now all freshly-showered and brushed for bed. i noticed while brushing my teeth that my boobs have suddenly gotten bigger. and my puke-fest is a sign that i am still, indisputably pregnant. the tadpole lives.
but could nature give me a break? enough already with the nausea, okay? i mean it.

Ewwwwwww gross! Isn't amazing how you can barf up nearly two day's worth of meals? I mean, DIGESTION... hello?
So sorry you've got the queasies. Make sure you drink plenty of water so the mush isn't dry and pasty and you don't get dehydrated. (duh, you know that, sorry)
Feel better soon!
Let me just say, your description here was even grosser than the actual event. Which was sickness inducing enough listening to itself.
If this isn't enough motivation to get me to blog something, anything to get the 'vomit fest' off the top of the page, nothing is.
Feel better.

Well DUH! If you didn't choke a horse, you gagged the tadpole with all that!
Doctor, the patient needs saltines.
Take it easy, and feel better soon!
ps While you're at it, try to cut down on the fish. Mercury, you know.
:-) I say this 'cause I care.
i get so tired of crackers! and that was a whole day and i eat very, very small amounts of everything. if i ate full portions i would lose it, anyway. i was just trying to illustrate the rainbow of flavors i re-experienced.
and btw, i only ate about two ounces of fish, and i only eat it once a week. i'm trying to balance the good stuff in the fish that helps the tadpole with mercury.
I'm gagging just thinking about eating all that...let alone barfing it up. I'm sorry sweetie. I hope you're feeling better soon.
Mother Nature give you a break? ha! You're kidding, right?
Yuck. I was picturing that all in one meal... thanks for specifying it's all day!
I'm sorry for the puking, except for the fact that it means the tadpole's doing well of course.
There seems to be a good amount of vomit round bloglandia. *snicker* I'm sorry... really... but vomit is funny... as well as wet and runny... ;)
Hope you are feeling well soon and keeping the food where it belongs.
Triscuits! Better crackers...
It's so hard to stay positive when you feel so crappy. I'm sorry :(
I feel your pain!! I haven't puked yet but I feel sooooooo close to doing it, all the time. I hope we both feel better soon - but not so good that we have to worry.
Well, if you're like me, you can now cross all those items off the list of things you can possibly ever eat again, which will make good for post-partum weight loss...
Sorry about the chunks. Great job on identifying the contents though. You could work for CSI!
I know it makes you sad, but the big boobs and the hurling = your body making lots of progesterone to keep Tadpole happy.
I totally understand where you are coming from, where I haven't actually blown chunks yet...I feel as though I may at any given moment. Hope you feel better soon!
Wow, you eat a lot LOL:D I had hypermesis gravidum (however the hell you spell it) with my 1st. And you have every right to complain - it is NASTY.
Poor you :( (((((((hugs))))))
