see, sometimes i get sick. and usually i convince myself that it's not going to go away just because i go home. and it's not like i can get anyone else ill (at least, i don't think that's where babies come from...)
and then all my books and web sites and silly pregnancy e-mail updates convinced me that i should be starting to feel much better. so i told everyone i was starting to feel better. and for a few days, i was.
then this week happened. and though monday and tuesday can be attributed entirely to the little wild thing, today showed that sometimes baby growing + diabetes = no bueno. and without being too graphic, just trust me. it was no bueno.
so for today, my big prayer is that i will actually be able to work my full nine hours tomorrow. it would be a first for the whole week. and i am reminded (yet again) that sometimes a little humility is a good thing. but i'm going to keep hoping that when my second trimester starts on sunday that illness will listen to all of my books and web sites and e-mail updates, and it will kindly stop for me.

no bueno, maybe, but still up on your literary allusions. very nice.
I empathize with you Becca. Severe morning sickness was my companion for many months.
I love you and know you have the strength to get through this difficult stage.
Congratulations on making it to your second trimester! It's a victory for you. This illness stage is SO WORTH IT!
bummer becca. i hope you start feeling better soon.
I feel so bad for you. I know morning sickness. We became good friends...especially when I was pregnant with Oakley. Gag.
Hopefully the 2nd tri is much better for you. If not, it will make having your little babe that much sweeter.
I know nothing about pregnancy sickness and diabetes, but i do know something about seclusion. So, when you feel better and the wild thing settles down a bit (or gets more active, whichever), wanna play?
hope you feel better! (but now that i've mentioned a play date, you might wonder if my desire for you to feel better is completely selfish. I'll trust you to give me as much credit as i deserve.)
everyone: you'll be happy to know that the first day of the second trimester has been just swimmingly smooth. let's hope it keeps up!
zan: i think you hit the nail on the head! a play date is EXACTLY what i need. goodness you are intuitive.
