Guess what I got???

That stomach bug that's going around that makes you throw up everything that you've eaten in the last 10 years. It was awesome. The toughest part of having the stomach flu when you are also first trimester nauseous is that you never quite know what's up. A couple of days ago, when I was throwing up my innards, I was cursing pregnancy and the small alien that has inhabited my body and taken over all bodily functions. Turns out I should have been cursing my seemingly inability to wash my hands every other minute and/or not lick said dirty hands throughout the day...who knew?
Anyway, just when I thought I would never be able to enjoy food again (really the only highlight of pregnancy so far), my head finally came up for air out of the toilet only to discover that...I felt a little bit better. Since then I've had day to day improvement resulting in this morning where I was able to eat eggs and toast, orange juice and just a little bit of chocolate....ahhh, all is well in the world...maybe tomorrow I can go back to eating grilled cheese sandwiches for breakfast...then I'll know that the alien inhabitation has resumed and I no longer have to worry about throwing up my pineapple and jalapeno pizza that calls me at lunch time.
I'm totally joking when I tell you my breakfast and/or lunch choices...no I'm not....yes I am...no I'm not (yes I am).
