And don't forget your fabulous FREE GIFT!

Had the first doctor's visit yesterday. Went pretty quick, only like 25 minutes. We answered some questions, and got like 10 pages of medical/family history paperwork to fill out. Going to get an ultrasound next week some time. Doctor said that being tired and queasy were good things. Heather didn't quite agree. We got a gift bag, kinda like the ones you got on the first day of college or from your realtor when you moved into a new house: free samples, some helpful literature, and a lot of advertising flyers. I guess those three events are somewhat similar. For instance, each involves a huge expenditure of money. College and Baby mean late nights. Baby and house mean you will be now be worrying about strange noises and unexplained happenings about which you have little knowledge and hardly any ability to fix.

Anyway, the "morning sickness" nomenclature is a crock. More like "all day sickness." Seriously, if anyone has tips on combating this, I'd love to hear them in comments. Heather pretty much follows this cycle:
1. Be nauseous and not want to eat anything.
2. Get hungry enough that the nausea goes away.
3. Eat something.
4. Eating leads to nausea.
5. Goto 1.

This morning I found her on the couch. Every sentence she uttered toward me contained either the word "hate" or "fuck". But she said it in such an abused kitten, weak kind of way it was endearing. When she uses expletives, I know it really means love.
