It has started...

Morning sickness has officially set in. I don't know who came up with the term "Morning Sickness." Obviously someone who never went through it. They should have called it "Whenever-it-feels-like-it sickness". Morning? Yes. Noon? Yes. Evening? Yes. Middle of the Night? Sometimes. The nausea has woken me up twice so far in the middle of the night. The doctor gave me a pill that is supposed to help keep it at bay since it was sticking with me all day and it has been my friend until today. Today I think my body figured it out!

I spent the last three days at a training class and it's difficult to walk in in twenty minutes late. It's not like I can say "Sorry, everyone.... I just spent the last twenty minutes puking up every last ounce of liquid in my body and then I had to re-do my makeup because it smeared all over my face!" Instead, I just had to slip in quietly and try not to interrupt as all of the women in the class stared at me with knowing glances. Everyone was very sympathetic to my "delicate condition," as one friend termed it, but it's kind of embarrassing.

Most of the moms that I have spoken to have told me that it will be over soon and then I will hardly even remember it. I sure hope so! I can't wait for the fun things - feeling the baby move and seeing him/her in a sonogram (looking like more than a piece of rice!). I hope this yucky part passes quickly and the others take it's place.
