However. There&#8217;s this little thing called heartburn that can cause the most hellish episodes of throwing up that I have experienced, as instead of throwing up food I&#8217;m throwing up stomach acid. It&#8217;s pretty awful. They happen in the middle of the night, usually eating something that my pregnant body does not agree with. I&#8217;m still trying to figure out the eating rules of this pregnancy. No chinese food and no apples before bed, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve got so far.<\/p>\n<p>But this morning I had slept well, no heartburn, no problem. Somewhat gaggy, but that&#8217;s not unusual (still). As I was leaving for work I realized I hadn&#8217;t taken my vitamins and medications the night before, so I quickly took them as I ran out the door. It was about an hour later, after I had arrived at the office, when I realized my folly. I had half a mind to go to the bathroom to go pee, but very quickly my stomach turned and up came those damn vitamins. But the <i>worst<\/i> part was that horrid dissolved-pill taste that was stuck on my tongue, which made me keep gagging and throwing up again and again. I just couldn&#8217;t get that awful taste out of my mouth.<\/p>\n<p>And that is why I ended up in a quiet corner on the phone to my husband, whispering, &#8220;Honey, I have a very strange request&#8230; Can you bring me some clean underwear?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thank the light I was wearing a pantyliner, or it would have been much, much worse.<\/p>\n<p>::<\/p>\n<p>But regardless of the not-so-fun and definitely not-so-glamorous aspects of pregnancy, I find myself enjoying it more and more. I love how I feel when I am pregnant. I feel beautiful. I feel peaceful. And I feel totally in awe every time this little one squirms and kicks me from within.<\/p>\n<p>And if it comes along with throwing up, heartburn, and peeing myself&#8230; well, then at least I have some funny stories to tell later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The normal morning-sickness nausea has gone.
