"every mother is like moses. she does not enter the promised land. she prepares a world within her that she will not see . . ."

- pope paul vi



i was completely unprepared for the amount of puking i would do during morning sickness. my mom never told me that she actually puked; she just told me about the nausea. my whole day is consumed by me either telling myself, 'don't puke. don't puke. don't puke.' or i'm just puking. it's pretty much the worst feeling i've ever had. and i feel really bad for ariel, because i'm such a boring person right now. but i think he might be secretly enjoying the fact that now i'm the one saying, 'let's just take a nap, let's not do anything.'

on the plus side, i was in disbelief that i was pregnant. needless to say, i believe it now. and i guess i would rather feel like crap than feel great because then i would worry. so keep those prayers coming.
