Okay so the books really weren't kidding when they said that "morning sickness" kicks in around the 6th week of pregnancy. Lucky for me, I proved them right! Literally 6 weeks on the dot! The one discrepancy I DID find in my reading is that there are two other types of "sickness" associated with early pregnancy that they fail to mention and that would be "Afternoon sickness" and "Evening sickness!" I won the prize of having ALL 3!!! They do however mention that sickness in the first trimester is a sign of a very healthy little bean (well they say baby, but I prefer bean) so there are some positives to the constant queasiness and inability to smell or even LOOK at certain foods. It's amazing how sensitive your sniffer gets! I even made Rocco bathe the dogs and clean their ears because I could have SWORN they didn't smell right and it was making me sick. I think they can tell momma doesn't feel good because they have both been following me around all day (even more than usual) and literally trying to sit on my lap the minute I sit down. It's pretty cute. So thanks to a wonderfully doting husband, good books (thanks mom!), a DVR, preggi pops, phone calls to friends and family, and the Internet, I have managed to stay somewhat positive through my first week of the ickiness of my first trimester. Don't think I am not counting down to my second trimester and hoping that I get lucky and start to feel SOONER rather than (God forbid) later. Well, I think I am due for another satsuma (the one food that seems to slightly settle my tummy) so I better sign off. I hope you all had a wonderful New Year!!!

With love amongst the queasiness,
