Week 12: Oh, now I get symptoms?!?!?!!?

11 weeks, 1 day.

Ok, maybe these aren’t symptoms. Maybe I have some sort of a virus. Seems doubtful, though.

Guess what decided to show up last night? That’s right. Morning sickness. Well, evening sickness. As in, “Get out of bed and run to the bathroom and retch” sickness. The nausea came out of nowhere, just as we walked in the door from sitting on the porch. I figured it’d pass, and I headed to bed. 15 minutes later, as I was settling down to sleep… off to the bathroom with me. I figured maybe my stomach was too full from the piece of fruit and crapload of water I’d just had, but who knows.

Today it’s coming and going – I haven’t been sick and I can eat, but my stomach is fussing and it’s sort of a mind-over-matter thing at the moment. I’d rather it be morning sickness than, say, food poisoning from the eggs or spinach yesterday, but it still sucks. I basically feel pretty damned yucchy today.

If it is morning sickness, it’s morbidly hilarious. Outside of some queasiness, I’ve been good with the stomach so far, and at this point in the pregnancy, the morning sickness usually disappears. Most pregnancy literature I’ve read says that if you haven’t gotten it by the 8^th week or so, you probably won’t, so if that’s what this is, I’m sure it’s some sort of a karma thing…

Anyway, that’s what I get for complaining that it doesn’t seem like I’m pregnant! Bah! I’ll try to keep my mouth shut next time.
