Puking in the work garbage can . . .

It went just like this, find out I'm pregnant, deal with major shock for two days and then BAM, I was hit with morning sickness.  I don't know why it's called morning sickness when I had it ALL DAY!  

I could never eat red meat, on rare occasions I could eat chicken.  I would crave some things and the same things would make me want to vomit.  I tried plenty of things to keep me from getting sick.  Auntie A brought me ginger pills and morning sickness elixirs.  I searched for items called preggie pops and reviewed home remedies on google.  One thing that saved your Auntie A during her pregnancy was mixing chocolate milk with Vernors.  This did work but only momentarily, eventually the cure-all make me start to feel ill.

Your father and I were supposed to drive up to Oscoda for a family reunion one Sunday afternoon.  I had not told any of the family that we were expecting you and was suffering from major morning sickness, I didn't want my symptoms to let our secret out.  Your father convinced me to inform you grandmother that he was feeling ill and we were not going to make it.  Instead your father and I went to visit is old school, home of the Wolverines.  I had no clue how I was going to walk around feeling the way I did.  

We stopped at the pharmacy to grab a prescription for your father.  While waiting for him I decided to seek out an item that had been suggested on one of my many google searches.  I was unsure if these things were going to work but I had already spent a small fortune on items to cure my morning sickness, anything was worth a try.

So I bought these items, ripped them from their packaging, and slipped them over my wrists.  Sea-bands, brought me back to the world of the living.  The stormy seas that had been thrashing about in my stomach had quickly been calmed.  I still had minor residual effects of morning sickness such as being achy and fatigue, but eventually when we hit 11 week gestation, morning sickness disappeared.
