More crackers. Eriko is more tired these days, so she doesn’t wake up until the alarm goes off, at 6:30. We get out of bed about 7, when we hear the computer turn on. She isn’t any mood to make breakfast, so I fix myself something small. I’m afraid my health is going to suffer if I continue to be left in charge of my own meals. ;) We walked to work, and I got busy right away.

It is 6:30 and the alarm goes off. This morning I feed Eriko crackers, because it is better than lying there trying to stay in slumber land. My stomach was a little uncomfortable (because of the ice cream?) so I didn’t fix much of a breakfast. I spent a little time preparing the AOS and finding headphones (the ones at work were reclaimed by my co-worker) before we headed out to work.

I awoke to more crackers being munched on. I think I’m going to have to get used to this. ;) Eriko wasn’t up for much of a breakfast, so I ate some cereal. We walked together to work, and my day began. I had a tough time with a problem at work, so I had to do a lot of fruitless investigation. This particular problem forced me to go to the lab to do testing, so I had to frequently leave my desk.

I was woken up several times by Eriko going to the bathroom. Each time, I wondered if she had done the pregnancy test. I worried that the lack of urine in her bladder would give us inaccurate results. Sometime far before the alarm clock went off, I was woken by the crunching of crackers. Eriko ate for a while and eventually we got out of bed about 6:30. She went in and took the pregnancy test.

I woke up to the sound of Eriko munching crackers. I read online and it was confirmed by Katrina (about Melissa) that eating before you get out of bed might help prevent the initial morning sickness. After that, a constant intake of food is necessary. Of course, I can’t sleep with crackers being munched so I was awake. Eriko didn’t feel like making breakfast so we ate cereal. She felt good enough to walk me to work and then we hung around the 1st floor until the ob/gyn office opened.

We woke up really late today. Eriko’s back was sore, which she suspected was because she was a little too rough with a massage tool. Her stomach was also a little queasy. My back was a little sore – I had cuddled with her in the night and woke up with my chin and arm numb. I’m sure that didn’t help me sleep well. ;) Although she wasn’t feeling good, Eriko wanted to make Udon for breakfast (instead of my offer of french toast).
