Really?

I've read a lot.  Several pregnancy books and information online.


 Morning sickness...


It usually starts around 6 weeks and sometimes ends right around the end of the 1st trimester.  I've felt nasty since week 6, nausea wise, but I've never thrown up. I was thinking it was starting to get a little better.  Nope.  Apparently that was JUST the beginning.  I've been lucky enough to get sick two days in a row now.  At 10 1/2 weeks!  Crazy. I hope I don't have it as bad as my mom did, being sick all nine months long.


Problem is, there is nothing in my house that sounds even remotely appetizing.  It's going to be another long day.

Ugh

I woke up with what feels like a cold.  I can't breath, and I have a terribly sore throat.  Not to mention still feeling nauseous (thanks baby).  I can't wait until I can feel better!  3 weeks until the 2nd trimester and I will welcome the end of morning sickness and the increase in energy level!


Ugh, I hate feeling like this!

They lied

Morning sickness.  Really?  Maybe.  Morning and afternoon sickness?  Probably.  Morning, afternoon, evening sickness? YES.  Whoever named this "morning" sickness never had to suffer from it.


So that's how my day has been!  It's not too bad, yet.  Once I finally got some food down when I got home from work I started feeling a little better.  But it wanted to make it's appearance again when I was cooking dinner.  Raw chicken is definitely one of my button pushers.  Eww.  Just thinking about it is making me a little queasy.


I really need to get some saltines or bland crackers.


But I guess this means this pregnancy is progressing and that makes me happy!

Blah

I am 4 weeks tomorrow.  I figured I would have at least 2 weeks before I started having morning sickness.  I was wrong.  I had my first wave of nausea today.  I couldn't eat my lunch and smells really bothered me!  It lasted a couple of hours, but now I'm starving!  Waiting for N to get home from flying so we can go get something good! I'm craving wings. :)


P.S. I'm SO happy we told our parents! What a relief it was!  Now I can have their support through this whole thing!  Even though I still feel like I'm dreaming and waiting to wake up any minute now.


I've got to say happy birthday to my Mother-in-law! I hope you have a wonderful day!


Hi Mom & Dad! :)
