Throwing up

I find I now have to eat every two and a half hours or I am really in for it. I start to feel like I am either going to faint or throw up. The bad part is, after I do eat I throw up anyway, so it is a lose-lose situation. I can't eat just anything either. It has to be a half a bagel with peanut butter on it, a peach, a cup of pineapple, or canned pears. And not all together, just one little snack at a time. Every once in a while I am able to stomach a yogurt. I see people all around enjoying meal times, oh how I wish I could do the same.
This is us at the Fair- Me, Michael (pooring water on Matt)
Drew, Brooke and Jill.


I was suckered in to going to the Iowa State Fair by Michael on Saturday night with a couple of our friends. Michael had been talking about the fair since June so I figured I could tough it out. I had been having a O.K. afternoon so I gave it a go. WRONG DECISION. Those smells were too much- way too much, the walking was too much, and then when I did get hungry (that need to eat now hunger) the one thing I thought I could stomach, which was a baked potato was SOLD OUT. I did manage to make do with a pretzel and it made me feel better for about an hour. After that hour the rest of the night was awful. I didn't sleep a wink on Saturday night and I had a horrible day all day Sunday and Sunday night. What I am trying to say is that I will never go to the fair again, no matter how many times Michael begs me this year. If he wants to experience the Iowa State Fair with me he will just have to be content in seeing it in all its glory on Iowa Public Television. So that is what we did last night, we watched the fair on IPTV.

On another note, I am going to be 14 weeks tomorrow so the end of the sickness should at least be in sight by now. My mom was extremely sick when she was pregnant until about 16 weeks she said.
