* you'd kill your husband if only you had the energy.

This one came from my dad! I thought it was pretty funny.

the cherry red of the "morning sickness" lollipop
or
the chicken yellow of undiluted intestinal bile

You know you have HG when...
~ The rest of your house looks like it hasn't been cleaned in weeks/months, but the toilet and bathroom floor are spotless.
~ Any time you get within six feet of the kitchen sink or toilet, your three-year-old asks, "Mommy, are you going to throw up again?"
~ Your three-year-old tells you, "I don't want to watch TV anymore" and you pull your head out of the bucket and tell her, "Sorry sweety, now hush and watch the Wiggles"

When you have heard your husband say, Hey, Don't puke on the worker bee.

When giving your homecare nurse an inventory of your supplies over the phone, you had to explain that you had to change you IV tubing yesterday because you cat walked into the room and bit a hole in your tubing while the fluids were running. (The cat now resides in the basement, as yes that sounds dangerous)

These are so funny!!! I laughed so hard I almost peed. I just had a couple more.....

1. You have ever wanted to cry but didn't because you knew you couldn't afford the fluid loss.....

2. Your midwife looks at your UA results and says "well it's not bad for you only +1 keytones!!"

3. You have to go shopping post baby because all your old clothes fall off.

4. You have ever had to buy maternity clothes in a smaller size because your old ones are to big...

5. You have ever avoided a public place because of its smell.

**when you can't wait to have a newborn so that you'll have more energy for yourself and your toddler.

Years later, you get the stomach flu, and you think "seriously? people complain about this? I barely noticed it."

You want to kill someone for saying 'Oh, I was soooo sick during my pregnancy too', only to find out they vomited once and were nauseous for two days.

I love these!

You know you have HG when....

You become ecstatic when the sun goes down, because you can go to sleep and know that another day is over.
When people ask, "How are you feeling?" you just stare at them.
You have a toothbrush and mouthwash in every bathroom in the house.
If you have the energy to shave your legs it is a GOOD day.
You purposely "unsubscribe" from your normal pregnant friends' facebook pages, because you so do not want to see their weekly bump picture update.
You have the most vivid dreams about eating all the foods you wish you could eat, and when you wake up you are pissed that the dream wasn't real.
You love rain, because it makes outside smells go away!

This one just popped into my head as I was remembering my last pregnancy...

You know you have HG when you open your fridge and the majority of it is taken up by zofran vials and your weekly supply of D5LR...oh the memories. :-)

when.... you know those kneeling pads people use for weeding the garden? You have one in front of the toilet. And you are thrilled it's made of plastic, because you can just throw it in the shower to wash the pee off of it.

All of these are so true. In my case the smell at my parents house is Wood stove and I can not stand it, my boyfriend has dogs and that makes me sick, and his mother smokes in her house so my saying is you might be an HGer if you become a house hopper for 9 months. Thank god for good friends who are helping me prepare for baby and taking care of me during this time of sickness.
