Gummi Worms + orange juice do not equal to a happy tummy

Mood: happy
Cravings: saltine crackers
Morning Sickness: moderate

I am moving along at what seems like a snail's pace into my ninth week of pregnancy. The baby has made a drastic change in physical appearances from last week to this week which is something quite amazing. I am certainly feeling more pregnant with every progress the baby makes. And I swear that I'm getting sick more frequently - which does not make me a happy camper in the mornings.
And this morning was tough considering I'm laying in bed and the crackers sat on the kitchen counter approximately 35 feet away. But I mosied out of bed at 7:18 this morning (when I should have gotten up at 6:45am), nibbled on a cracker and got ready for work. Before heading out the door I figured I could easily eat a bowl of bland Smart Start cereal. I held that down (Yay!). Once I got to work I drank some orange juice and snacked on a couple of gummi worms that seemed to tickle my craving spot. Ooohhh, was that a bad choice!
Let's just say no one should have that kind of sugar early in the morning. And I'm not really sure how I thought that eating gummi worms would improve my stomach since it was already nervous the moment I got up. But I guess I didn't really think it through before I began chowing down on the gummi worms.
Now I'm stuck huddling by my trash can at work and fighting the battle with my gut to keep my cookies (so to speak). I am not touching gummi worms ever again. You can count on it.
