"...over the rooftops of the world."
i am not a fan of the first trimester.
some people might say i have nothing to complain about. that may be true. nevertheless, i will complain and i will like it.
saturday was pukesville. highlight: forcing down soup at panera because i couldn't bear to be in our kitchen, even after hubs cleaned it up while tending Little while doing his own work from home while i lay sprawled alternately on the couch, the bed, and the hardwood floor.
my dear hubs, ever speedy with help, saw me start to throw up and grabbed the first thing he could find to put under me: the diaper pail. to provide more detail would be unkind to us all.
(see next post if you're the type who insists on a happy ending.)

Oh Kirsta, you make laugh. Big belly laugh in the middle of all these shy Thais in the middle of this internet cafe. The first trimester sucks and I am empathetic from afar.
I didn't know you had gone public with the first trimester, so let me just say CONGRATS!! I'm sorry that saturday was pukesville. I HATE that part. It's rough, that's for sure. Go ahead and complain all you want. It's even so much harder now that you have the one with the many names!! Take care of yourself grilly gril!
You have every right to complain. I support that right, and am willing and excited to listen. In fact, everyone is required to listen and should listen and like it. So keep it coming!
I hate first trimesters...and frankly, I've not been a big fan of the second one either...what's with the marshmallow feet?
Many congratulations! I am very excited for you. I don't know much about trimesters, but I do know that I hate throwing up, so I am sorry about that.
I enjoy reading your blog, and seeing how you are doing.
i don't feel so good. i think i . . . whooarf!
poor krista. bring little over so you can have a break.
ha ha! what color is it??? Green, red, or my personal fave BLUE???
By the way,"Pretend I didn't tell you," post? I laughed 'til I cried. For you, for Little, and also for myself and Max because we have THE VERY SAME ISSUE. It must be in the genes--to whom should we send our thanks?
I read somewhere that beans help to soak up the excessive hormones and make it so you won't be so sick. Haven't had a reason to try it...yet. My heart goes out to you. I've been there, twice. Not so fun. Here's to feeling better soon.

I'm sure you have already heard of the half a unisom and vitamin B6 is a helper for sickie mommies. It's worked for me. Hopefully the sickness will all end soon. If I were there, I would so watch little so you could rest!
And if I were there I would hold you hair as you puke and make you laugh so hard it would come out your nose. Which, incidentally hurts a lot - stomach acid is not meant for nasal passages.
Oh, dear, this is too funny! Megan, you're a hoot!
Krista, love, the diaper pail image, ESPECIALLY without details, is potent to a reader, pregnant or not--even an empty diaper pail with lingering scents of...diaper ammonia. I almost lost it vicariously. Yup. Less is more.
Wish you felt better, but alas...
One of my darling Arizona neighbors (whom I consider to be an expert because she ended up having twelve children)suggested I sip room-temperature Diet Coke when I was pregnant with Abby. It worked...on a number of levels! I still use it for medicinal reasons.
Bim's the Bomb! Wild applause and trophies to him.
great advice from all, as usual. i love my online support group! love you in person too.
to answer abby's question: GREEN. oof!
A little note on my mom's advice: I have been addicted to DC nearly my ENTIRE adolescent life, and the addiction continues to linger a bit still...not pointing fingers, of course. Just thought you should know.
Once when I was new pregnant with Sabine, I was eating pasta. I threw up a lot with Sabine, mostly in the middle of a meal. Anyway, I threw up the pasta and sauce. A few hours later I had a stuffy nose and when I blew my nose a macaroni noodle came out. It had gone into my nose when I threw up. I had a good laugh about that. Hope you do, too.

arghhh!!!!!! first trimester blues! What a good guy bim is! I was laughing so hard about the diaper pail. Your blog kicks!
Earlier in my pregnancy Ian and I were driving and I had to toss my cookies sooo badly but there was nothing to catch it with! So we had to use a newspaper... uggh. Those don't work so well (although a diaper pail... yikes!). It wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for the fact that everything I had eaten that day decided to call it quits. When we finally found a McDonald's I rolled out of the car. It was the grossest day EVER!
