Oh, yeah, by the way...

So, once again, I have fallen off the blogosphere. My last post was in March, how sad is that? Granted, I've gotten hooked on Twitter in that time, and as Roz pointed out, microblogging can make regular blogging seem less important.

But I have another good excuse: I'm pregnant! I'm due November 24th, so right now, I am currently 12 weeks and 5 days along. I'm doing...okay. So far, the baby seems to be in great shape. We had an ultrasound at 9 weeks and saw a good heartbeat and exactly-on-target growth. The bad news is, I'm pretty sick. Morning sickness is a misnomer. I feel queasy all day, especially at night, and it's hard to control. I've been throwing up on a regular basis. I get a lot of headaches and I'm tired, too.

It's hard to explain how exactly this all feels, as even female doctors say that they didn't fully understand until they experienced it themselves. Here's my best analogy: Imagine a bad hangover. Now imagine feeling that way for 7 straight weeks and counting. That's pretty much how I feel. Only hangover foods aren't the lifeline they once were.

It's supposed to get better soon, and then I should be a relatively happy pregnant lady. Until then, how long do you think I can live on Wawa milkshakes? :)
