How dare they. Shame on the Texas Legislature. Again.

Posted on September 23, 2016 by SP

The Texas Legislature has done a number of despicable things under the direction of Greg Abbott, but this is their current atrocity. I’d like to give a little background on myself: I miscarried a planned pregnancy in December, 2008. Before losing … Continue reading →

Difficult pregnancies and becoming a mother or: How I became more pro-choice

Posted on July 10, 2013 by SP

To say that I have difficult pregnancies is a gross understatement. I’ve been pregnant three times, twice with planned pregnancies, and once a total surprise. Through all three pregnancies I suffered a debilitating condition called hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Some people dismiss … Continue reading →

The not so bad news

Posted on February 29, 2012 by SP

Misha’s still in San Francisco, so today Avi & I went to see Dr. H. He (Avi) was very good and was flirting with every woman there. He had one small meltdown when I wouldn’t let him go in the … Continue reading →

My so charmed pregnancies

Posted on January 16, 2012 by SP

I suck at being pregnant. My body just does not handle pregnancy well at all. My first pregnancy was a disaster from start to early finish. I had nausea from 2 days after finding out I was pregnant to 3 … Continue reading →

It’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)

Posted on January 4, 2011 by SP

Well… maybe a little exhausted & covered in spit up, but mostly fine. November 16 at 2:01 pm our lives were turned upside down (in a good way). The baby formerly known as Boyshteyn was born and we officially became … Continue reading →

Will I ever learn?

Posted on April 22, 2010 by SP

I decided to try eating soon after I got up today. The nausea was semi-mild, so I thought I’d give it a try. Bad idea. Like really stupid. Now I’m sitting in bed willing myself not to throw up. I … Continue reading →

Each morning I wake up, before I put on my make-up…

Posted on April 9, 2010 by SP

I spend a little time with my head in the toilet. Mostly gagging, wretching, stuff like that. Funsies. Still, it’s nothing like having hyperemesis, so I can hang. Things I’m looking forward to this week: Lunch & pedicures with Tara … Continue reading →

So… dinner. That didn’t go so well. I went to the kitchen quite hungry & with only mild heartburn thinking I should make some dinner. I decided to just make some Quorn nuggets & green beans. Easy right? No reason … Continue reading →

Caved

Posted on April 3, 2010 by SP

I gave in & took a Zofran tonight. I was determined not to take any unless I wasn’t able to keep anything down. After flushing my dinner (& continuing to feel so queasy that the room was spinning) I gave … Continue reading →

Isn't that a contradiction?

Posted on March 30, 2010 by SP

I am craving hot chocolate yet at the same time the thought of it makes me want to puke. I mostly feel okay unless I think of food. I was telling Misha that I was going to make potato salad … Continue reading →
