Ugh. Again with the ridiculousness of calling it “morning” sickness. I am sitting here at 11:57pm trying to ignore the nausea and the unbelievably sensitive gag reflex. The Zofran helped, for a while. But then a hideous side effect overtook me and I realized I needed to cut back and perhaps go without for a day or two at a time so that I could manage the other issue. Of course then it’s back to the constant nausea and being completely unable to make myself throw up. I took one tonight with dinner and am praying it has kicked in by morning because today has been unbearable.

At least with my previous pregnancies I would throw up and then feel relatively good for a while. This time it’s just constant queasiness that doesn’t go away. Yuck.

And perhaps the worst of it is that I have a huge bag of tomatoes that my sweet sister-in-law (who hates tomatoes herself, bless her heart!) sent back with me yesterday. These particular tomatoes are from Grainger County, Tennessee and they taste the way God meant for tomatoes to taste. There really is no comparison to tomatoes grown anywhere else. I had been craving them and now can’t even bear to look at them. If I’m feeling better tomorrow, I may just eat the whole bag before they get rotten.
