LOL Jen, I was just thinking that I ought to post.<\/p>\n
The reason I’ve been so quiet lately is that I don’t want to sound like I’m constantly whining. This nausea shit sucks. The past two nights I’ve slept with an extra pillow under my head – which isn’t all that comfortable – but it kept the midnight sickies away. I was so happy!! And then I got to work today and promptly felt nauseated and puked. I threw up yogurt, which I have decided doesn’t taste so great coming up.<\/p>\n
The list of what I can eat without feeling yucky is getting smaller by the day, it seems. I’m down to… let’s see. Bread. Crackers. Cheese. Milk is still fine, strangely enough… I didn’t have ANY milk until this evening (we were out) and I felt sick all day, so it’s not milk related (thank the light!!!). Some soups are okay. Apples. Peanut butter’s a good one. Spaghetti was okay when I had it. So basically, carbs and dairy are okay. And peanut butter.<\/p>\n
Everything else…. iffy at best. All those little microwave dinners I bought for us… can’t touch them. All the nuts and chocolate at work? I don’t even bother trying, the thought of them makes my stomach go ugh.<\/p>\n
So I’m kind of… eating what variety I can in my little bubble of happy foods. Like tonight I ate a peanut butter and banana sandwich. For lunch I had a chicken caesar wrap from Blimpies, but it wasn’t nearly as good as I was hoping. And the caesar dressing didn’t really go down good. But oh well.<\/p>\n
Peanut butter cookies however? That’s a YUM. I should restrict myself to just one at a time, though.<\/p>\n
Thankfully the nausea does not appear to be smell-induced. I have not had any problems with grocery shopping, not even walking through the fish department. Today I didn’t really feel like buying much because everything I passed totally didn’t make me hungry, but no nausea or anything. Yay.<\/p>\n
I’m up to week 11 in my belly pictures, and I’m continually amazed at how much of a baby belly I’m carrying already. I mean, I certainly was looking forward to having a bump and every week I eagerly look forward to seeing a change. But yeesh, I’m only 11 weeks! I wouldn’t really expect to be showing this early with my first pregnancy and all. But hey, I love it. :)<\/p>\n
I’m tired and sleeping a lot… but not the so exhausted I feel like a Mac truck just hit me kind of exhaustion that I hear most pregnant ladies talking about. Just normal tired…. and lacking the energy to get much done around the house.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately just this past week two of my friends on one of my forums found out they are miscarrying. I just wanted to cry when I found out, both times. It’s not fair, not fair at all. One of the girls is an IVFer, got pregnant…. and now is losing the baby. I’ve seen too much loss lately. It just makes me so sad… and so thankful for my own little miracle. It’s hard to navigate this pregnancy thing when you’re so aware of everything that can go wrong. But it makes you much much more thankful too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
