I think thing about getting this for my bathroom... what do you think?
I just thought, since I spend much of my morning here... on my knees... that it would give me something to look at while emptying the contents of my stomach.
Oh the joys of pregnancy!
In all seriousness though, "morning sickness" ... which is a stupid name for it if you ask me, considering it lasts ALL DAY... is kind of awesome. Yes, I am strange... but it gives me this sense that everything is ok! Whatever works!
3 cheers... or fish... to morning sickness!

Oh by all means, why not decoupage a new scripture of the week to the floor beside the toilet - then you can memorize a page of scriptures each week as you worship at the throne.
P.S. When I was pregnant with Andy who is almost 14 - I had awaited him for so long that I never even told my OB that I was morning sick. Finally at 7 months, when she asked me why I had lost 40 lbs. I quipped - well this morning sickness hits me after each meal and then I have to eat again with my insulin. She gasped: 7 months? Well, I was so grateful to be pregnant finally, I just endured it with a joke each time. At work. Publically. She gave me a medicine combo (vit. b6 and doxylamine - Unisom) to take the night before, and voila' the next week - no more morning sickness). I gained 17 lbs in the next 3 months so probably good I waited to tell her.
My only advice is to avoid eating your favorite foods right now - there are some things I still won't eat because I remember too vividly the after-eating part. This is a challenge though because the stuff you don't like to eat REALLY doesn't sound good.
Also, milk is awful coming up and grape Kool-aid isn't bad at all.
Good luck and congrats - I hope this doesn't last excessively long but I do understand the being grateful for it part.
Can I add a tip? I was craving hot dogs so bad that when I got them I ate 3! Hot dogs are not good in reverse! Oh and the Unisom is what Jen Baker was always telling me about, but I never tried it as you know, I was stuck being sick the whole time. I hope yours isn't too bad!!! Oh, keep a travel size bottle of mouth wash in your purse! Helps when you aren't home to brush!
Well, I'm thrilled that you're puking your guts out all day long! I hope I'm not far behind. =)
:) Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the tips! Anneke... you are RIGHT on track... I too am THRILLED to be puking... I am not sure I want something to make it go away! It is reassuring to me is some creepy way! And I hope you are not far behind either!
