(Warning! Grossness alert!)
If there's one thing I hate (other than vomitting), it's burping. It totally grosses me out and, actually, kind of makes me want to puke when I hear other people doing it. Ew, ew, ew.
So what's my number one first trimester symptom (behind all-day nausea and fatigue)?
That's right, it's burping.
(Seriously, pregnancy gods?!?)
It's absolutely disgusting. I make these deep, puke-inducing burp sounds every few minutes. I am soooo gross!!!
I can only hope that this "delightful" symptom passes quickly.

In other news, I finally caved yesterday and bought some sea bands (i.e., acupressure bands for motion sickness and other types of nausea) and sea bands ginger-flavored gum. I don't know if it's a placebo or if it's just that I generally feel better on the weekends (since all I do is rest), but I've been feeling MUCH better for the past 36 hours. Still definitely not 100%, but at least approaching human. Yesterday I even made a pumpkin soup (spiced with lots of fresh ginger) and last night we went out for Vietnamese food -- not a cheesy carb in sight!!!
Let's hope the combo of acupressure and gum (and lemon drops and lemonade) will help get me through work this week...

Finally, just wanted to let you all know that we have our next doctor's appointment tomorrow. If all goes well, I'm planning to tell my boss on Tuesday. Fingers crossed!!!
