Morning sickness at night I suppose

What gives…I feel so queasy after I put Elijah to bed. Last night we BBQed with the neighbors and we also used our fire pit (just for fun and ambiance). When we were done, smelled a little smoky between the pit and grill, but nothing too overwhelming. Anyway, I was so sick once I laid in bed. It felt exactly like morning sickness – I had it only one week with Elijah at the 12ish week mark, but I never threw up.

Last night I did. phew…I hate puking. I am so bad about it, I don’t know how to not make it come out of my nose ---yea, I’ll spare the graphic details. It was terrible though.

My dad told me that my mom has a sensitivity to “smoke”. I clarified with her today, that if she eats smoked foods (even grilled things) or is around fires it makes her sick to her stomach. I thought that was pretty interesting. It made me hopeful that maybe that “morning sickness” was just a weird, hereditary thing I got from my mom.

No such luck. It’s 8:00, half of the clean up is done around here…and I don’t think I can do anymore because I might be sick.

::What’s the deal you little sesame-seed-sized trouble maker?? You haven’t even been around long enough to cause me trouble::

Let me tell you something weird. Really weird to me. So I love milk. Always have.  But after I had Elijah I somehow became lactose intolerant in a bad way. Like, hold-the-cheese-on-EVERYTHING-or-else-make-me-a-clear-path-to-the-bathroom kind of bad. Anyway, yesterday I had a little dairy…nothing, no problems. Today, I pushed my luck and drank some chocolate milk (mmmm by the way…) – NOTHING!! What gives? I have to be pregnant to drink milk? I asked my OB a while ago and he said that it happens to post partum women occasionally. Strange, isn’t it?

Chores can wait I suppose. I’m trying to not be so anal around here. Rest for a pregnant, nursing mother is more important than Elijah’s bouncy balls sitting under the couch. I’ll get them tomorrow. I gotta go to bed with my little trouble-making baby pea inside of me.

speaking of trouble makers though….take a look at this one!

aaahh…my heart melts at the sight of him.  :)

On a different note:

Χριστός Ανέστη to everyone if I don’t blog before Sunday. Before I head off to sleep, let me just be thankful for the gift given to me so many years ago on Holy Friday. –You should be thankful too. Goodnight everyone.
