Curious are you? Well, when following this routine with exactness I almost always avoid throwing up. If I ignore, neglect or try to alter my routine I will pay for it.
First, I must not miss a dose of medicine. I have been on prescription medication for nausea this time around, which does help a lot, but is still not quite enough.
Second, I must eat 3 feet of sandwiches every day. This sounds crazy, but I will do whatever it takes to keep my head out of the toilet. I eat one 6 inch every two hours beginning at 10:00 am. I have a sandwich at 10:00, 12:00, 2:00, 4:00, 6:00 and 8:00. I must also have breakfast when I wake up, snack throughout the day, drink soda and have 2 bowls of cereal right before bed.
I know this raises questions. Where do all the sandwiches come from? Where do all the sandwiches go? Are they all the same? What kind of sandwich does the trick? How long has this been going on Bekah?
The sandwiches come from the nearby grocery store. Every morning I walk there and head straight for the deli. Everyone knows me and what I will order. The sandwiches are always chicken breast (my deli slices the chicken really thin which is easier on the stomach) on white (also easier on the stomach than wheat). Lastly, I have been doing this almost every day for 2 months.
To be honest I have often been able to replace the last sandwich for a regular dinner. I still have to eat dinner twice, but I am getting some nutritional variety in my body.
This leaves one last question: What does eating 3 feet of sandwiches daily do to a pregnant woman, or a fetus? I don't think anyone really knows yet.
My favorite thought on my sandwich eating came from my Mark. I am truly fearful of Luke being even larger than Russ at birth. I am afraid that if he is any bigger he seriously will not come out. I was telling Mark about this fear one day, and I hopefully said, "this one will be smaller." He laughed out loud and said, "Honey, you have been eating from my foot to my waist in sandwiches every day for two months, I don't think this baby is going to be smaller than Russ." Puts 3 feet in perspective doesn't it?

I'm so glad you found something that works! I still can't believe we had the same size boys and I gained like 300 more pounds than you did! I miss you lovely!
i too am relieved to hear that you have found a way too feel kind of good during this pregnancy. what i am really wondering is if you are going to actual get fat this way, because you certainly did not with Russ!
oh, man! doesn't sound like fun, but I'm so glad you have a system that makes you feel better!!
TOO funny that it happens to be so many sandwiches! :)
Good luck!
this is seriously one of the funniest things i have ever heard of. glad it is working. and considering your entire pregnancy weight with russ was baby and placenta only, you will probably be fine.
I'm a little concerned. I'm not one to go crazy about all the insane pregnancy safty precausions but I know not eating cold deli meat is one of them. I still ate deli meat when I was pregnant, but not in such insane quantities. Poor Luke is probably going to hate sandwiches:)
I'm glad you are feeling better. Also deli meat is fine, I ate it all the time while preggo. Experts have had concerns that deli meat could have listeria. If you microwave the meat it kills any potential bacteria. Sometimes I did.. sometimes I didn't...it's really rare. Anyways, hope you continue to feel better!! :)
Real quick on the deli meat: It's rotisserie chicken which they slice right in front of me. I don't think it really counts as sandwich meat. But if it does than I most definitely have listeria.
Nice Bekah...nice.
Wow...somehow I missed your last post and I feel like I'm so out of the loop because NO ONE told me you were preggo. I'm so, so, so happy for you guys! Perhaps I'll use the sandwhich theory for my next pregnancy...I'll try anything! Lucas was on the top of our baby name list, good choice!
So this seriously made me laugh out loud! I hope you are doing better and feeling good. We miss you guys.
Oh, good humour! I love the sandwhich fetish.
I read this when you first posted it and I told Tom about it. I get SOOOOOO Sick and my only problem is that I can't keep anything down even if I wanted it so dang bad just moments before. About 3 minutes after food hits my stomach I throw it all up. Ahh, it's so frustrating and I feel like crap even after throwing up so there's no good that comes from it all. Between all 4 pregnancies I've tried numerous different things and nothing has helped. I just might have to try your idea even though I doubt it will work. I'll try anything.
Oh and my blog is tomtaralee.blogspot.com
Didn't you email a while back asking for the addresses you lost or something?? I can't remember, but if you did I never replied, woops.
Bekah- I have been so buys for the last three weeks, that this is the first time I've had a chance to take a glance at your blog. I love your entries. They are cracking me up! I also love your interviews with Russ. They are so cute, and give such good insight to your little man. He looks so happy in the recent pics. We miss you guys!
