We're Preg-o and Blech-o

By the time anyone reads this the posts that I post between now and October they will be much much older. We have decided not to tell anyone that we are having a baby until that time when we can surprise our parentals. BUT I wanted to document weekly happenings, so all readers will have a little bit of catching up to do. First off we found out we were pregnant on August 27th, 2011,  and to date are about six weeks along. Today  I had my first bought of morning sickness, and it was a doozey. Never been so embarrassed in my life:

WARNING, if you are easily sickened, this is not a story for you

So I woke up not feeling the best today, sent my boss a text letting her know I wasn't feeling too good and that I would be in later. Slept in, woke up a few hours feeling much better and proceeded to get ready for work and then ate reheated macaroni that I had for dinner last night. Head out the door, jump into my little Camry, get on the highway, and progressively start to feel sick again. By the time I get to the Bangerter exit I am to bursting point. I try to focus on my breathing and stay calm, I have been sick before, I handle myself very well, and I can wait until I get to work. Not so. It is coming. I pull into the Harmon's parking lot that is about a block from Auto-Owners Insurance and rush inside, the vomit is sitting in my throat at this point, just begging to come out. I rush to the nearest employee, proceed to frantically ask for directions to the bathroom, and start to lose it. I cup almost all of what is ensuing into my hands as the now desperate employee is screaming for someone to get her a trash can. She locates one from the man behind the Gelato counter, rushes over to me and I continue to hurl up the half digested mac and cheese (side note: I really don't remember eating as much mac and cheese as what came out). After I seem to finish up the store clerk pats me on the back and asks me if I am okay. I proceed to tell her that I am having morning sickness and she adequately sympathizes with me and recommends ginger pills. She walks me to the bathroom where I finish up my sickness for the day. I smelled less than awesome, so afterword I bought Listerine along with my ginger pills and whole wheat crackers, which have now been my entire sustenance for the day.

I have now whipped up a light rice dish that I hope won't upset my stomach, but only a few hours time will tell. 

Update: the rice did very well, thank you.
