Dear Pregnancy...Why have you done me so wrong?

It is about 3:00 a.m. (not my finest hour). This post is solely therapeutic, since I can't sleep and I feel like puking on the keyboard.  To all my friends and family this is an announcement, sorry if you are hearing this joyous news over the internet. 

Dear Pregnancy,
Why have you done me so wrong? YES I am grateful you knocked on my door 10 weeks ago but you tricked me.  You seemed so sweet and innocent but now you have taken off your mask.  You cast a sleepy spell on me that took away any last ounce of ambition I had.  Any dreams of working on my recipe project have been thrown in the trash and taken out with the garbage.  My passion and love for food....GONE! I can't even look at my recipe blog without my stomach doing back flips.  My kids are left to subsist on frozen pizza, and taquitos (food that never makes the cut on my grocery list).  You sprinkled some awful fairy dust that heightened my sense of smell. I feel like a basset hound sniffing out the neighborhood, stinky rags, smelly garbage, dirty public bathrooms and food of any kind have become my worst enemy.  How could this be?

All the things I love have turned against me.  Grocery shopping, looking at recipe books, cooking of any kind, checking my email, making lunch for my friends, even reading a book is a challenge.  You hid my patience somewhere and I can't find it.  I have looked high and low.  So lets make a deal......I will wait this out as patiently as possible and you promise to ease up on the morning sickness soon? deal?

Congrats!

Only seven more months and you'll be fine.

Well, plus three from all the healing.

Ahhh - congrats Ali! That is so exciting! Not the morning sickness but the baby part. I am so sorry that you are so sick. I totally feel for you. Hang in there and hopefully the second tri will prove better for you!

That is great news! Congrats!!!! Your mom told me on Sunday night while they were visiting Ryan. Hopefully it's a little baby girl :)

So congrats to you and the fam! I'm glad you can share my pain! I am not one who enjoys the 9 months and I absolutely get the whole "hound" thing and food just isn't as good as it used to be. But hopefully that will dissipate a bit after your first trimester. Happy for you guys though!

I'm sorry the nausea's hit you! I agree on the reading thing- strange how just reading a book or looking on the internet can make you dizzy. NO FUN AT ALL.
Hopefully it won't last toooo long.

Congratulations?! I know- I'm just barely starting to feel not so sick. I won't tell you how long I've been sick, it won't make you very optimistic:) I hope it goes away soon though. I totally know how you feel. Pretty much laying down is all you can do, and even that doesn't make the nausea go away. I wish I knew how you could fix it! Just keep dreaming of the day it goes away...

You just officially convinced me to wait another year before getting pregnant again. Thanks for reminding me. Tell your kids I am sorry they won't be getting any cousins in the near future.
