Today was the first day I used Preggie Pops. There were two of them that came as a free sample when I ordered the doppler and I figured I might as well try them. They seemed to work alright, but only for the brief bouts of sickness. I managed to go all day without feeling too bad and so by the time I got home I was feeling pretty confident that maybe I was getting over this sickness stuff.

For that reason, when Jake called to ask if I wanted to watch fireworks on the river from his friend's boat I agreed, thinking with a few crackers and a couple of licks on that lollipop I would be fine. He said to meet him between 6:30 and 7:00 at the boat ramp because he was going to go water skiing and wasn't sure if I would want to be on the boat with it jerking around.

He also asked if I could bring him some food. I agreed, but told him I couldn't wait that long to eat so he would have to eat alone. As it was I had apparently waited too long and had more faith in those Preggie Pops than I should have because when I headed out to get myself some food at around 5:45 I didn't even make it out the front door and too my car before I ended up getting sick in the yard. One more thing I have done because of this pregnancy that I thought I would never do.

After that, I figured that going back inside was not going to make me feel any better because I still needed to eat so I sucked it up and went and got myself some food. I brought it home, at a little and then headed out to the boat ramp to meet Jake. Of course in my haste I forgot to grab any sort of snack food. You see where this is going don't you?

Riding in the boat it's self was not bad. The wind was whipping and the waters were not to rough so it was pretty enjoyable. However around 8:30 we parked the boat down stream from the bridge where the fireworks were being shot from and that's where things took a turn for the worst. The only thing I had to calm my stomach were those stupid lollipops and they were NOT working.

Luckily Jake's friend had some cheese crackers with peanut butter so I didn't end up getting sick. I downed a few of those, watched the fireworks, and then insisted that it was time to go home.
