Pregnancy Rules Reinstated

Every time I've been pregnant, I've had to initiate special rules so that I am able to survive (somewhat) during my morning sickness.  Here's the general idea:

  • The use of words describing a food's texture is strictly forbidden, especially words like chunky, gooey, and creamy.
  • The television must be muted during commercials so that I don't have to hear lame spokespeople describing how wonderful their food tastes to me.
  • Brandon has to keep his teeth brushed if he wants me to kiss him at all, and he is not allowed to breathe on me.
  • If I have any sort of traumatizing experience with potty training the kids, I am allowed to take the rest of the day to lay on the couch to recover.
  • Even if there are no traumatizing experiences, I am still allowed to chill on the couch and read to the kids or let them watch more tv/movies than usual.
So, if you come over to our house any time in the next 8 weeks (give or take 3 weeks), don't judge me because of all of this craziness.

  1. Love it and I totally agree. I think you have every right to make rules like this with what you're going through!

  2. I agree. Let yourself lay on the couch as much as you need! That first trimester is killer! And mine wasn't even half as bad as yours are! You're allowed! I hope you get through it okay!
