Morning sickness sucks

[callistra]

I am going to go lie in bed and cry and try not to vomit and hopefully sleep.

*sniff*
Maybe I'll take a bowl with me.

This will all be over in ..... how many fucking weeks??

*wails*

I didn't know you were pregnant.

Congratulations to you and John!

[capnoblivious.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly.

I mean, the vomiting's kinda rough, but, yay, developing offspring!

*sends you ginger beer and ginger snaps*

i'm sorry you're feeling so vomitous - I hope that it passes quickly, both this afternoon and as morning sickness.

::ba-blink::

!!!
Conga rats!

::Huggles:: and bounces!

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks!

[leahcim.livejournal.com]

I guess this counts as the official announcement then. :P

*congratulates*
*hugs carefully*

[callistra.livejournal.com]

I spose.

You tell those wretched hormones to give you a break, y'hear?

[callistra.livejournal.com]

I don't think they are listening
:-)

[mortonhall.livejournal.com]

well.. congrats! but bummer about the morning sickness. Have some ginger tea :)

[callistra.livejournal.com]

I have some ginger beer! It's completely fake, probably never even seen a ginger root, but it seems to help. I'll buy some ginger tea and stuff tomorrow I think.

Yay on news! Nah on morning sickness!

baby dribble

As someone who just had a baby boy about 2 months ago now, I can say that it is worth it, he's smiling and talking (in his own way) already. A cheeky grin is one of the best rewards for all the crap the little bugger angel puts you through. Of course I've tried to put the experience of morning sickness out of my mind, but it does eventually stop. 'Have' cravings even if you dont really have them, it's your best excuse to eat whatever the hell you want, if you dont do so already.. ;)

When I am pregnant, I get a sweet tooth. So far today, I have wanted bread and butter pudding, icecream, cookie dough, cookies, shortbread, chocolate and sugar and butter mixed together.

I've had cheese and savoury shapes *grin*

When I was pregnant with Vinnie, I remember eating those scary chinese dumplings with sweet chili sauce at about midnight every night for a looooong time. You know the sort; if you read the ingredients list, it says "Beef OR Mutton.' Gotta love the way even the manufacturers are unsure.

See I read about the morning sickness and immediately went through a five second panic of:

1. Morning sickness?
2. Pregnant?
3. Pregnant!!
4. I didn't know that.
5. Did she ever mention it?
6. Shit, did she mention it and I didn't notice?
7. Did she mention it and I just forgot?
8. OMG did I forget one of my friends was pregnant?!
9. OMG I am the worst friend ever.
10. I suck so much!!
11. How the fuck did I manage to- waitaminute, that's a lot of comments.
12. Ready read read read.
13. Hey! OK, cool! I wasn't supposed to know yet.
14. Relief.

LOL
And I thought this was all about me!!

On most cases, people don't even tell any one until about 13 weeks. I am 6.5 weeks. I have been telling people I see face to face, in case I need to nap/throw up/eat everythign in sight and then want more, and then I started posting weepy wussy posts and lots of them, so I figured I should warn people. Plus, I went and read when i was pregnant with Vinnie, and I was up at night a lot then too, so there might be a lot more virtual room parties to come.

You're pregnant?????

Congratulations!!!

You and John are fab parents. Your new child = very lucky.

[callistra.livejournal.com]

awwww shucks
:-)

[nephron.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

Hope the nausea calms down soon.

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I hope so too! LOL

[baby-elvis.livejournal.com]

Oh that's just wonderful. Not the sickness, but it's cause, I mean.

I always found that having a dry biscuit or two around to nibble on BEFORE I got out of bed made a big difference. It was keeping my tummy full that helped me.

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And sometimes it works - I have savoury shapes and ginger beer on hand. But not always.
;-(
I just had a full meal and a cup of tea and still wanted to chuck on the way home! I do wonder if it is related to blood sugars. I dunno. I've got it much worse this time around than when I was morning sick with vinnie.

[meljane.livejournal.com]

Congrats from both of us *hugs*

I thought I'd wait until you commented before I sent a congratulations just to make sure you really were sick from pregnancy .

[callistra.livejournal.com]

:-)
Thanks!

[willowgypsy.livejournal.com]

Congratulations and well done!!

You guys rock and that was a fun way to announce it!! :p

I know the sickness sucks but spare a thought for those of us who would just like the chance to experience it once :)

[callistra.livejournal.com]

LOL
I keep myself happy thinking of the baby, and that the more morning sickness you have, the less chance of losing it. But I knew I wasn't going to lose this one!
:-)

So happy, just hanging out for the nausea to go away! I had icecream! And brussel sprouts! Er. Not at the same time.

Congratulations!

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you!

[punkrocker1991.livejournal.com]

Yay! congrats!

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Aww thanks!
:-)

[ariaflame.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, hope all goes well, smoothly, and that the nausea becomes something bearable.

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Ginger Bears !

[lilysea.livejournal.com]

You can get them at Woolworths. (I was in Woolworths last night and thought of getting some and posting them to you, but I'll be in Perth on Sunday night!)

They also do Ginger Marmalade; Ginger, Lemon & Lime Marmalade,
& a ridiculous amount of other ginger-containing stuff stuff.

Yes, I adore ginger. *grin*

Re: Ginger Bears !

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Cool! I do love ginger. Have you had their ginger cordial too? That was also particularly yummy!
:-)

[kbpenguin.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the cause. Hope the nausea fades, especially so you can enjoy Swancon.

[callistra.livejournal.com]

:-)
Are we seeing you this year?

[valeskah1.livejournal.com]

Yay congrats! *hugs*

Those ginger jubes LilySea was posting about are FAB. I've also just found ginger beer with ginseng, which tastes lovely. Look for Tiger brand.

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Love ginger
*grin*
Thanks!

[foamiethegreeny.livejournal.com]

So you decided to tell the world, congrats again. I would suggest ginger & lemon grass tea ( but make sure it hasn't got peppermint in it) raspberry leaf tea is meant to be really good but i'm not sure if the tinder box does one or not.

See ya soon

[lucretiae.livejournal.com]

:-)))))
You already know how excited I am for you :-D

You know I said I'd race you, well I'm supremely pleased to announce you the winner! *giggle*
In the last week I've sniffed a pregnant woman and some babies, then last night to top it off I went out and got very trashed with the EDS guys from Melbourne so with a bit of luck I should be knocked up real soon, hehe!

I'm sure you've worked out by now that you're probably cooking another Saggie. Go Saggies!

Talk to you soon :-)

[nightmancyr.livejournal.com]

I'd love morning sickness right now. It would mean I'm no longer an empty-bellied, pointless creature which vaguely resembles a woman but hasn't yet been able to prove it.

Congrats *hugs* :o)

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Gee, you have a fun way to look at yourself.
:-)
Thanks for the congrats.

If you really think bearing children is your entire purpose in the world, I need to re-educate you. And the times when I have conceived and been stressed and anxious, I've had miscarriages. And it sounds like you're stressed and anxious about not having kids yet.

Congrats
