Oyster Crackers are my Friend

Morning sickness is in full swing. Getting up and going to work on the bumpy El seems next to impossible every morning. Not to even mention the smells I encounter on the way. The smell or even thought of eggs makes my stomach clench. Raisin Bran? Forget it. Peanut Butter? Don't even think about it! In fact, it seems completely impossible to eat anything before noon, except water and oyster crackers.

Yes, oyster crackers are my friend. In fact, considering the rate at which I consume them, and the rearranging I plan to do in my pantry to make room for a 9 month supply, perhaps I should buy some stock. I have to be effecting the supply chain somehow. Now if they only made them in whole wheat!

Either way, I have a feeling that after February, I won't even be able to look at those things anymore, because I will have completely depleted my lifetime's allowance of oyster crackers.

In the meantime though... bring them on!

Public transportation is not a good place for the onset of nausea

In the past few days I have been feeling the symptoms of pregnancy more and more. I have been completely and totally exhausted. Like I was forced to stay up all night standing on my tippy toes, exhausted. Like I need tools to pry my eyes open, exhausted. Beyond any exhaustion I have ever felt before. You all know how I like to be the very last person to leave a party? I had to leave my brother's birthday party just after midnight! What? Who am I? But it was the very best I could do. My hair is also falling out. Like in hand fulls. What is the deal with that? It also turns out that when you take an already emotional girl, and add the emotions caused by pregnancy hormones, you get a complete mess. Me. And then today, I was reading my book on the El on the way to work, and then... BAM. Nausea. Luckily, after a few deep breaths I was fine.
Still, something tells me this is about to get interesting....
