Below is an email I wrote to my parents and grandparents in early January. I was still feeling very very sick with "morning sickness" (that by the way isn't just in the morning- for me it was all day long!). I thought it was funny and I should share.

Ewww I feel so gross today. I ate 5 pickles (like huge pickles not to mention I had a big pile of Florianna's pasta before that) last night when I was watching American Idol. I knew it was a bad idea about 10 minutes after I finished the 4th one, however I went ahead for the fifth. I was up all night peeing, thirsty, and feeling like I was going to vomit while Dino and Drexie snored peacefully sleeping next to me. I feel horrible today-- needless to say do not even say the word pickle around me today. I will probably throw up on you.
I can still smell the pickles this morning. I even ate a blueberry muffin this morning and I swear it tasted like pickles. Until further notice, do not say pickles, talk about pickles, eat them in front of me, think about them, or allow the smell to linger in a room I might be going to. I will most likely be sick. Sorry for the trouble-- I loved pickles once too.
