This morning I woke up with (among other things) an inspiration to write a parody of “King of Wishful Thinking” called “Queen of Morning Sickness”! I have to dedicate it to people like Amanda S. and Wendy H. who seemed to have it pretty bad. I have a pretty good case of it, but am psyching myself up that it won’t be for too much longer.

Here’s the words, and here’s my fantastic karaoke to it!

I don’t need a second preggy test
‘cause I have these other signs
New set of breasts, dry heaving in the toilet
food aversions of many kinds

If I read all these pregnancy books
Then maybe I can convince myself

I’ll get over this… after the first trimester
I’ll wash my hands of this business
And I’ll tell myself – ‘I won’t throw up’
Cause I’m the Queen of morning sickness
I’m the Queen of morning sickness

I refuse to swallow this horse pill
That’s not how it’s gonna be
I can’t deny I need this prenatal vitamin
But just watch she how it gags me – NO,
I need that Iron calcium and folic acid
I can’t fool myself

I’ll get over this… after the first trimester
I’ll wash my hands of this business
And I’ll tell myself – ‘I won’t throw up’
Cause I’m the Queen of morning sickness
I’ll get over this… after the first trimester
I’ll wash my hands of this business
And I’ll tell myself – ‘I won’t throw up’
Cause I’m the Queen of morning sickness

I will never, never, speak badly of saltines
I’ll get over this

If I read all these pregnancy books
Then maybe I can convince myself

I’ll get over this… after the first trimester
I’ll wash my hands of this business
And I’ll tell myself – ‘I won’t throw up’
Cause I’m the Queen of morning sickness
I’m the Queen of morning sickness

OK, an update from me! So, May 2010 is our big month – and we are going to go the surprise route! So far I’m feeling alright. I have missed some work because of morning (noon and night) sickness. BUT, it shouldn’t last forever, and every day this week has gotten a little better than the last. God has really used other people and their experiences/expertise to provide me with a lot of peace – very thankful for that! My favorite thing is telling people and enjoying their reactions – Very fun! That’s the update for now!

Jill is pregnant

That is all.
