Allllllllllllll-day sickness

I have NO IDEA why it's called morning sickness. I wake up, I feel fine. I take a shower, I feel fine. I eat breakfast, I feel fine. 20 minutes later, I feel like I'm on a 15ft boat on 20ft seas. Alllllllll day. Riding in the car is hell, which is not good as I have a 40 minute commute to my office. Walking helps, sometimes. When it doesn't, it's worse. Sea-Bands do help some. Ginger helps. Eating (weirdly) helps. But nothing makes it go away. Sigh. Oh, and I am so tired I can barely function. But I can't sleep when I want to throw up. It's not fun - like a three-month hangover without all the booze. BUT - baby looks good so far. We have another ultrasound on Thursday but here is a picture from last week:

Our little blueberry was measuring 2 days ahead and had a lovely heartbeat of 136bpm. So, my due date is Nov. 22.

E is thrilled, his parents are thrilled, and when I don't want to puke or sleep, I'm thrilled. More updates soon!

Ack, I feel you on the all-day sickness. I wondered if I was the only strange one who's MORNING sickness lasted through the night... sorry to hear that you're the same way. At least it's a sign that your blueberry is doing wonderfully! Cute U/S pic! :)

Ah yes, isn't the morning sickness FUN? lol I hear it starts to go away soon though, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel! =)

I'm sorry for the sickness - but at this point it means only good things - yay for all day sickness!!
