I miss coffee.

Although all that coffee over the years is probably the reason for my extremely sour stomach during pregnancy. Swimming, Tums, and finding that box of my maternity underwear (!) has eased (ahem) my discomfort in the past two days.

Emily tagged me for this, so now I HAVE to do an entry. Here ya go!

Bear with me

I was going to keep this under my hat for another week, but I need some sympathy vibes. I'm a little over 8 weeks pregnant (again), and this time -- luckily, I guess -- I'm sick as a dog. I get about 3 hours in the middle of the day where I feel okay (if I eat a decent breakfast, and snack every hour on the hour -- bland foods only), otherwise I'm shakey all morning and sick again in the evening, into the night. Yeah, I don't even get a break when I'm sleeping.

So, you can find me on the couch, in front of the TV, for the better part of any given day. This is the first time I've been online all week. Thankfully, all of Tess's activities are in the afternoon (school, ballet) except for Kindermusik, and since I feel pretty decent right after breakfast, even that is doable one day a week.

I've watched more TV in the last two weeks than I have in a year. Not a big TV fan. Anybody else hate Santino and wish him gone on Project Runway?! Ah, but that would kill the drama, wouldn't it? I've learned more than I ever wanted to know about the Hilton sisters, Brooke Shields, and Karen Carpenter, thanks to THS on ET.

And, who knew America's Funniest Home Videos is still on? News to me.
