Pass the ginger, please...

Morning (all day) sickness has hit me!
Now, I'm fortunate I know that I'm not actually throwing up. But the all day nausea is kinda difficult with 2 other young ones running around.

Thank goodness that Millie is old enough to understand about me not feeling 100%. I've already explained that sometimes momma will feel sleepy and like throwing up, but it's ok- that means the baby is growing big and strong. She totally gets it. And today she comes downstairs with her stuffed moose exclaiming that "Olivia (the moose's name) has a baby in her tummy and she feels like throwing up", I cracked up!

So, I've been sleeping with my crystallized ginger next to my head, when I wake up, I immediately pop one and wait a few minutes to get up. I totally believe ginger is the nausea miracle food!

With my previous pregnancies, the nausea lasted from 6-11 weeks.
1 day down, 34 to go!

It's a mixed blessing, isn't it? Too cute about Millie... so sweet. I, for one, am glad you feel a little sick - it is such a good sign!!

I have to agree Char, Morning sickness, no matter how horrible it is, is a wonderful sign! With my miscarriage I NEVER had morning sickness, so I was thankful to be throwing up, ok at least for the first day or two! I feel your pain, hope you feel better soon!
