Oh, to be pregnant again!

Well to say this baby was a surprise is a total understatement! After three years of waiting and hoping we sold or gave most of our baby things away before we moved into our house. When another year went by I figured we were for sure done and got rid of the rest. Wouldn't you know it SURPRISE, we got pregnant! It's been 4 years since I was faced with some of the challenges that come with carrying and growing a baby so in an effort to help me be a little more positive, here is a tribute to the joys of being pregnant and all the grandness that comes with it.

Puking Quotes from my kids...

• As B is running from the room "Oh, no! I just can't listen to that anymore!"
• As she covers her ears "Mommy are you done yet"? Me "Can't tell"! B "Ugh! Well when are you going to be done"? Me "Five more months"!
• E as he is talking to a friend on the phone "I probably can't go because my mom will be sick"!
• E as he reports on his school day "We had to journal about someone who does a lot of service in our lives and I decided to do Daddy because he takes me to school". (note: Josh has had to take E to school a couple of times a week due to morning vomit rounds)

Favorite Things to Regurgitate... as long as I'm hydrated (note: if not hydrated the experience becomes more like a cat hacking up a fur ball)

• Bread ~ because when it comes out your nose you get that warm bread smell for a at least 20 minutes!
• Soup ~ because it is super easy to get up/out and you get to reenact horror movies where people projectile!
• Eggs ~ they are pretty soft and softness when you vomit often is definitely a key factor!
• Ewwww I was just going to say soft noodles but just the thought of it made me gag so it has to be removed from the list!

Most Heinous things to vomit

• Anything spicy! Burning all the way up and out is not happy!
• Chicken that has not been properly chewed!
• Peppers
• Acidic things like pickles
• Lunch meat! I still can't eat it and that was from 2 months ago!

I will add more to this list but for right now...I think this topic is making me queasy!
