A nice routine

Finally.  I've finally gotten a handle on this stupid morning sickness.  It's not over, oh no, not by a long shot, but I have managed to work out a nice system that seems to make the whole ordeal much more bearable.  It goes something like this:



  • Wake up, walk sleepily to bathroom sink, dry heave


  • Walk to kitchen, make Alex a breakfast shake, vomit bile into kitchen sink


  • Sit on couch and watch Arthur


  • At some point before Curious George comes on, dry heave into kitchen sink one more time


  • Eat a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles


  • Sit completely still on sofa until the end of Clifford the Big Red Dog (or if I'm feeling particularly sick, until after Super Why) while sipping ice water through a straw


  • Start day making sure to eat something every hour on the hour until 6PM at which time eat nothing but Popsicles until bedtime.


Needless to say, Alex has become a television addict and I have gained back that five pounds I'd lost.  The good news is, I'm whining a lot less.  It's a worth while trade off I think.
