leave all your toxins at the feet of the porcelain god

Morning sickness is crap.

It's like being hungover on a daily basis, except I didn't do anything fun the night before.

I got sick for the first time yesterday morning, after composing my post.

Then, this morning right after I woke up, I had the urge to dry heave. Blech!

Yesterday, when I told hubs I'd gotten all pukified, he said, "Good."

I was all, "Padon?"

Hubs explained he learned on the internets that morning sickness means mommy-to-be is expelling toxins, so that it is a good thing for me to be praying to the porcelain god right now.

I don't know his sources -- hubs isn't really a senk-ya-the-link kinda guy. However, two evolutionary biologists from Cornell agree with him.

(I'll bet they are dudes.)

Telling pregnant people morning sickness is good... bravespice. Now, where the hell are my saltines?!

In other news, I had a strange dream last night. In said dream, I was driving around Pennsylvania with my parents looking at a college. There was something to do with a book that another student? woman? someone left behind in a cab.

Also, all the houses and buildings were very boxy looking. Modernized.

In part two of the dream, I was in a newly-opened Chinese restaurant (I knew the owners) and a group of people at the next table had a movie I wanted to borrow. In order to borrow it, I had to go over to the woman in their group and breathe hot air onto her neck. Then, it turned out we'd gone to middle school together.

Don't ask.

In the last part of the dream, I was working at the bank drive-thru, but I got to sit in bed and all the tubes just dropped right down on the pillows next to me.

Now that would be fantasticspice.

LOL... love the dreams they were funny, especially you having to blow hot air on your old middle school friend, talk about weird. I would love for my job to happen while I'm in bed!!!

You're right, the morning sickness being good must come from men!

I am sorry for your morning sickness! I live the hungoverness quiteoften, so we're kinda there together in a way. And dude, my dreams have been cray cray lately! I want a funny one, let me borrow your head!

Apparently your dreams are directly related to the said toxins you get rid of in the morning.! lol ;) Hope you are feeling better soon.
LOL, sorry about the morning sickness. Get used to weird dreams, they are a side effect of pregnancy. The good news? If you keep a dream journal you may end up with some awesome story ideas. Strange is in!

Good luck. My sister-in-law stays sick her entire pregnancy (hoping you don't) but there are vitamins, prescriptions to help with that. I'll ask her what it is called.

hope the morning sickness doesn't last too long! i don't care what if it's 'good', it sure as hell isn't any kind of fun to puke all the time!

My DW never got morning sickness, per se, but when we lived in Philly (were you driving around there in your dream? cuz that'd be odd) it was rather amusing to watch a bus go by and see her retch at the exhaust smell. I mean amusing in retrospect. I didn't say it at the time. (Naturallyspice.)

I had terrible morning sickness...for the entire first two trimesters. It was evil.
I remember puking Junior Mints and Doritos in the movie theater. The smell of that buttered popcorn made me hurl.
And I could NOT go to Target, the smell of their hotdogs when I walked in the door, well, you get the gist.

Yeah, and no blaming the lemon drops the night before isn't fair.

Lemonade, which I don't like, but it worked for morning sickness (for me).

Good luck!

So sorry that you're having to experience that vile side effect of being preggers. My wonderful ob-gyn gave me a prescription for Zofran (I think that's what it's called) and it worked wonders to take it all away.

It gets better around week 14. Or it should. Which is like telling you, "Just 37 more days of getting hit in the nuts with a hammer and then you're done." But, hey, that gives me an idea: let's call it "empathy training."
Sorry to hear about the pukification, but welcome to the first trimester. :) I hope you feel better soon. And btw, your dreams rock.

sorry you've been sick! It's sweet that your hubby is doing research about it all, he must be excited!

Your dreams are hilarious!!!

Toxins? I just thought it was the withdrawal symptoms, now that you've given up bar-hopping.

Don't worry about snide hubby. You'll be getting back at him soon enough, once your prego-flatulence lets loose (and believe me, it will).

Closing Arguments, Trial 3. The Defense: Closing the Case of Adnan Syed v Alice LaCour and Brett Talley

  Would Hae Have Liked Pineapple on Pizza? If it Pleases the Court... Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I want to start by thanking you for your time. It is no small task to put your lives on hold and focus in on the details and particulars and specifics of this case, and it may be a struggle to focus when you have to think about what you're missing at home. Your civil duty - and your willingness to fulfill it - does NOT go unnoticed. I mentioned "time." It's a relative, term, right? I had to wait in line at the post office for 15 minutes. I waited for the checkout gal at Wal-Mart for 20, because they didn't have enough lanes open. I don't know about you, but I try to be patient. Sometimes I fail to wait gracefully, but I really do try.  So. Look at Adnan. For over TWENTY-THREE YEARS he has been waiting... patiently. 23 years ago, I was about the same age as Adnan. I graduated high school in the spring of 1999, just like he did - or would have - had he not bee

20 Points in a Basic Story in the Botched Case Against Adnan Syed: I Must Be Insane as that's 5x More than any Other Basic Story Presentation I've Ever Seen

  Basic Story With 20 Points:  Could Adnan be Innocent? "It's not a cop-out; it's case law." ~Bob Ruff, host, Truth and Justice Pod   1 Adnan was the main suspect - Hae's family passed that along to Officer Adcock on the afternoon she disappeared. Originally, they suspected she might be with Don, even though she had to work at 6pm and had never once NOT brought her cousin home. Does anyone know how old the second cousin is? Two cousins lived with Hae. And Officer Adcock's Supplemental Report dated 1/13/99 states that Mr. Lee advises that she "did not pick up his two cousins from school.") Did they go to the same school, these cousins? Another question that could be explored is why Hae's uncle is the only immediately family member who doesn't live with Hae.  Another pain point for me - I'm confused as to why the cousins did not live with their dad, Hae's uncle... but look. Every family has different dynamics. I mean, I gues

Not The Nisha Call: Other Things to Consider in the Case of Adnan Syed

"If there is anything about my case, man - I want to know... I want to test it... There's nothing about my case that that I'm afraid of." - Adnan Syed Serial, Episode 12: What We Knew Instead of focusing on a flower and Jay's Changing Stories, Consider This: A) The policemen handling the Missing Persons Investigation did sloppy and lazy work. They back dated reports and failed to interview multiple people  thoroughly enough. B) The police did not interview the family robustly enough to understand what else might have been going on in Hae's life. They, to my knowledge, did not find a translator and instead relied on the guidance of her younger brother. C) A computer, a floppy disk containing electronic diary entries were noted and later went "missing"  D) Hae's email and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) accounts were never researched thoroughly, and her online activity is relatively unknown, outside of her newly updated "away message" which s
