Maybe it’s the ginger snaps?

Or the lemonade, or the potato chips I’ve been inhaling, but whatever it is, keep it coming because I feel so much better today! After 11 and a half weeks of nausea and vomiting and nausea and more vomiting I am finally beginning to be able to relax and it is glorious. I don’t feel like I need to pull the car over to puke or hide under my desk and hug my trash can, it is such a nice change of pace.

But in return for this queasy free feeling, comes the inability to button my pants or wear any of my bras. It’s a trade-off I guess. All-in-all things are looking pretty good. I have also discovered that I work in the most family friendly, super flexible, baby-loving place ever!

Because I’ve been missing some work due to that “so yesterday” morning sickness, I decided to fess up to my boss and our department director. They were so excited!! It made my heart swell up. I was a little nervous to let people at work know that I am pregnant, but that quickly went away when I heard things like, “take as much time off as you need,” leave early, come in late,” work from home,” and “do you want all my old maternity clothes?”  It was really refreshing to realize the support I have at work.

So needless to say, I am feeling alright. And to add the cherry to this sundae, next Monday we get to hear the little one’s heart beat, I cannot wait!
