I don't know how they do it....
bullemics, that is. I have now moved into the next phase (and hopefully final) of morning sickness. I just don't know how these girls can voluntarily make themselves throw up. And yes, I'm a total baby and whining is making me feel a bit better. *crossing arms, stamping foot on ground*

Still green
WAH!!!!!!!!!!!
I have become such a whinger (Ihope I spelled that right)! Getting through class feeling this way was a major accomplishment, so I can't even imagine getting through work. I'm at 7 weeks and my appointment is on the 31st.
Today we took a ride down to UPenn. John has an interview down there and we wanted to check it out. Ya know, I say some of the dumbest things. As we were walking, and I was already feeling gross, I stated "I smell Chinese" as we were walking through a campus tour of chinese people. Now, I didn't mean that I smelled chinese people, but I could smell the restaurant that was a block away! John thought I said that just because I saw Chinese people and was cracking up. But, honestly, it was the horrible smell from the restaurant wafting through the air.
I'm gonna have to download my pics sooner or later. I took a pic of a cuddly toy that John bought the baby, and I'm trying to figure out what it is... is it a horse, reindeer, donkey, or some sort of platypus type animal. Its cute anyway, but I just can't figure out what its supposed to be. I'll make sure I post a pic.
Time for a nap (again)

constant shade of green
6.5 weeks and counting...
Oh boy.... Where to start.. This week I am in a grad class called "creativity and composing in the music classroom". I love these kinds of classes, but on Saturday morning sickeness kicked in. The minute I open my eyes, the nausea kicks in. Thats all it is too.. nasty nausea. It lasts from morning till night, and goes from mild to bad in waves. Did I mention the hot flashes?? yikes. They're loads of fun in 100 degree heat! I'm also amazed that my clothes are still fitting. The bloating is bad, but at night, I look more like Buddah, than myself!
Other stuff...
my nephew went on a trip with a group called "people to people" to AUSTRALIA today! I am jealous, but I don't relish the thought of that plane ride. 17 hours from LA to Sydney.. then however long to Brisbane. I think its pretty cool, and I think my sister was okay at the airport. The last thing a 12 year old needs is his mother freaking out at the airport!
Not much else going on, except we have a visiting fox every morning and I always seem to miss it. I caught a glimpse of the tail running by, but John's seen the entire thing run up and back!
Hopefully, I'll have some news on John's interview next week..
Okay.. we're geeting a storm and the electric is dimming... :( I can't be without my AC (with these stupid hot flashes)!!

Hormones and food aversions
6 weeks
Hormones:
I have to remind myself not to watch the news. As I was laying in bed (sooo tired) yesterday, news of Barbaro's (the race horse) condition came on. Turns out he has that horrible hoof infection in his good foot and his chance of survival is poor. Well, I am an animal lover, and am always touched by animal stories of survival. I practically lost it when the news of Barbaro came on. More because he was doing so well for the past 6 weeks, and then thinking about how his owners have spent so much time and money trying to save him. I read today that he had a good night last night, so maybe he'll pull through.
Now I'm getting teary eyed over global warming and the doctors/scientists who are trying to save the polar bears. Right now they are showing a sedated mom, but with all of her babies in a wiggly pile , and the chance that they'll make it until next fall isn't good.
Okay.. enough of that.
Food aversions so far:
Peanut butter (used to love peanut butter on toast)
hamburger/ground beef
hot coffee
hot tea ~ I really thought I'd have trouble giving up/limiting my tea and coffee.
chocolate
cookies
sweets in general
creamy things (cream of anything soup)
smell of toast
smell of any tinned fish (blech.. don't eat it anyway!)

ZZZZZZZZZ.......
They (all those pregnancy book authors/ moms who remember being pregnant) aren't kidding about the tiredness. John and I went to King of Prussia mall today, and after having lunch and some shopping (I got a book - he got clothes), I found myself leaning on a clothing rack while John looked at shirts on sale. Those who know John, know that he examines every garment thoroughly. Next thing I know, I feel a tapping on my shoulder asking if I was ready to go. Yes, I fell asleep in JC Penney.
Thank God, I don't have to work right now. I can't quite see myself dancing around the room with a bunch of first graders waving scarves to "Lets Go Fly a Kite". I love my naps, but my mom tends to ALWAYS call me in the middle of my nap. Today, John actually gave me the phone, so I never really got a nap.
It was so hot today, that I didn't get up for my morning walk. My legs were really stiff anyway, and my back was sore (from John and the cats hogging the bed). I can justify this by knowing how much we walked in the mall, and John parked his car in the FARTHEST parking spot available. In his defense, it was under a tree and nicely shaded. The walk from the car to the mall wasn't bad going in, but coming out (after my JCPenney nap) felt like miles.

How cool is this?
This is the actual size of the baby! That little speck is giving me the worst heartburn and gas of all time! I am certainly giving John a run for his money. LOL!!!
Oh, the heartburn!!! 5.5 weeks along
At just over 5 weeks, I am having nasty heart burn, and horrible gas.. yeah, tmi, but thats whats happening. I am a huge fan of Tums and GasX. I don't have any specific cravings, but peanut butter, hot drinks, and chocolate don't taste good to me at all. Haven't decided to get any books yet, but probably in a few weeks.
Adding onto my last post about being moody... well, I've decided that there needs to be a moody pregnant woman day at any store that requires a cart. Yesterday at the Giant, I thought I'd kill the next big butt woman who stopped short in front of me or took a nice leisurely stroll down the middle of the aisle. Now, I am not a girl with a skinny butt at all, but for crying out loud!!! Move your spandex ass a little bit faster down the aisle. Don't even get me started on my Target experience.. All I wanted was my Tide laundry detergent that was on sale, and I found myself trapped in the laundry detergent. Blocked in on all sides. It was pure hell.

Who's a moody biatch???
Ooh, pick me! pick me! I've never been so cranky before! All I want is to turn my Air conditioning on. its just too muggy in here. John doesn't feel the heat at all, but I sure do. Its on now, but this is after I gave a few snide remarks...
Today, I had a brief sick feeling, but I'm fine now. I find it odd that I also would rather have spicy food than sweet. My morning cuppa just doesn't taste the same, as it does in the evening. I have to have it in the evening to truly enjoy it. Now, if I only had a custard cream biscuit to dip in it!

I suck at keeping secrets!
I really do!!! So, here we go..... Sometime in March, 2007, our little "thingey" will be arriving!!! We're absolutely thrilled, and so far, I feel great, outside of going to the bathroom every 10 minutes!!!
