Morning sickness…that stuff is no joke. At both my appointment with my family doctor and my appointment with my obgyn, I felt fine. Literally less than 24 hours after my obgyn appointment…BAM. Sick as a dog.
And ever since then? Sick, sick, sick!!! I’ve been feeling TERRIBLE!! All day long nausea. No throwing up…but that’s because I HATE throwing up. I’d rather feel sick than throw up. I’ve been gagging a lot too. It’s miserable.

I can’t stand any meat. I’ve been eating a lot of scrambled eggs and peanut butter and jelly. Pizza and quesadilla are also settling ok. And fruit is still good. But I’m getting really tired of eating the same things over and over and over.

At work, I’m miserable. At home, I’m miserable. In the morning, I’m miserable. In the evening, I’m miserable.

I’ve tried eating saltines right when I wake up.

I’ve tried ginger gum.

I’ve tried vitamin B6.

I’ve tried ginger ale.

I eventually broke down and called my doctor. She prescribed me some nausea medicine. Even it doesn’t help that much!

So I’m just miserable. I can’t even THINK about food. (This from a girl who loves to cook, loves to eat, and watches tons of Food Network and Cooking Channel.)

I can’t open my fridge – the smells make me sick.

I can’t go to the grocery store – too much nasty looking food and too much to smell!

I can’t even look at Pinterest because if I scroll by a picture of food, I gag!

Y’all – this is horrible. I’m praying it will only last the first trimester…

And on the bright side, at least I know that baby is still in there! Even if he is making me sick. 🙂

P.S. Please don’t give me suggestions – trust me, I’ve tried almost everything. Just commiserate with me. 🙁

Until my first ultraosund, this pregnancy had been a piece of cake. (Uggg…cake sounds gross…)

I really haven’t had any morning sickness.

The only craving I had was for jalapenos. (Which sound disgusting now…)

My vitamins haven’t made me nauseous.

And I haven’t had any food aversions….

Until yesterday.

Remember the story about the ribs? (Uggg…even typing the word makes me want to puke…)

Well the night after my parents came over, I decided we should go ahead and eat the ribs. (Bleck.)

Even though all day I was wanting a salad. A nice crisp salad with butter lettuce and real ranch dressing. (Which now sounds yucky…)

So even though ribs sounded a little gross to me, I got home and put them in the oven. (Thinking about the smell….ewwww!!!)

But I was fine. I ate the ribs. And I didn’t feel bad…YET…

The ribs were actually pretty good. (At least at that moment they were good…)

Well later that night, I was sooooooooooo incredibly nauseous. I couldn’t even tell Josh what was wrong. Every time I went to form the words in my head, it made me super sick to even think of the work “ribs.” I just lay on the couch and eventually feel asleep because I was so miserable. When I woke up later, I had to ask Josh to clean up the leftovers because I didn’t think I could look at the ribs again without throwing up. I went straight to bed. Even this morning when I woke up, I couldn’t think about ribs. Ewww!!!

So lesson learned. If a certain food seems a little gross to me…DON’T EAT IT!!!! You will regret it.

And I’m pretty sure I will not be eating ribs for the rest of my pregnancy.

Gross.
