I love our media!!!

Actual headline on MSNBC at 3:59 am:

Inside the hunt for bin Laden Storms slammed rain-soaked Ohio on Saturday and hundreds of thousands of people in the Midwest were without power after their homes were battered by lashing winds and flooding rains.

When did bin Laden move to Ohio? ;-)

Drugs are good... disneyland rocks... and work sucks

But you already knew most of that, right? My OB gave me Zolfran (i think) for the nausea. YAY!!! The lil pill dissolves in my mouth and I am feeling slightly more normal again in about 10 minutes. Go me! This was an invaluable tool while vacationing this week in Disneyland. We planned this trip months ago and were a little worried how I would handle it in my first trimester of hell... I mean, pregnancy. But I think I did OK. It was killer hot, but we would just go back to the hotel and blast the air conditioning if we got really uncomfy or tired, and being night owls we mostly slept in and did our major park visiting at night since they were open till midnight. And we know all the good places to eat after the park closes so we would be up for hours munching and watching TV and just hanging out on vacay. So Fun! I did pop a nausea pill a few times just to keep things civil, and there was a lot of sitting and resting, but we had a blast.

Here's a hormonal emotions update... it is possible to cry over a salad while sitting in New Orleans square. I really couldn't tell you why I was crying over the salad. And it was downright tasty after the Zolfran kicked in. Hubby just hugged me tight, and then bolted for the nearest pin trading store whilst i finished my meal. Such a good guy! ;-) He really is sweet about the random crying jags. I think I just get tired and sick and fed up, and hafta release that all somehow. Then, I get hungry and eat and everything is A-okay.

We both hafta go back to work tomorrow. I think I associate work with feeling morning sickness, because pre-drugs that was where I felt the worst of it. So now I just dread work. I associate it with being tired and throwing up a lot. But everyone there is SO nice to me, and the other registrars are so sweet and so much fun, I don't know why I can't just enjoy myself and move on. Will continue to work on it.

Surviving

No one tells you pregnancy is hard. But I think they all knew it, and were hiding it from me. Those bastards. Laundry needs done, or else hubby will be forced to endure another day of taunts and jeers at work in wrinkly (and by next week, smelly) scrubs. And Dishes. And the floor is fast accumulating a pile of dustbunnies that have taken to following me around the house ala Snow White. I figure another few weeks and they can do the dishes and the laundry themselves.

Amazing thing, though. I always left work every night with a long list of "To Do's" for the next day, all things i thought needed done around the house. Now, I realize that if the dishes are done, and we have clean, non-smelly clothes to wear, nothing else seems all that important. Besides, the kid will need a bunny-like cuddle toy, right? ;-)

33 more weeks of this?! Kill me now.

Morning sickness sucks. Oh, yeah, btw I'M PREGNANT!!!!! It sounded like such good news two weeks ago when I wasn't suffering any morning sickness. I was a little tired (Ok, A LOT tired) But nothing big. Nothing I couldn't handle. Now, yesterday, I was nauseous but still managed not to throw up. This morning we officially broke the morning sickness barrier I tried so hard to avoid. I'm miserable. I'll pay any amount of money if you just make it stop. And it's only been a day. Why does pregnancy take so long?!!!!

I don't know if this is the reaction of every pregnant women, but in week 7, I already want it to be done and over with. Or at least to progress a little faster. Everyone at work last week said, "Oh, you're only 6 weeks, it's too early to feel all that." Well, I feel it now!!!!!!! While I appreciate that you expect me to fell oh so much worse later on, I fell like shit now too. (Lets see how pregnancy affects my G Rating, shall we?) Yesterday, I took an afternoon nap and woke up nausea free. Here's hoping for a repeat performance. I gotta work tonight.
