Lets just say I have a greater appreciation for mothers after experiencing my last 3 months. I never knew I could be so sick for so long. Its finally starting to let up which im so happy about! Im not 100% but anything is better than what I was feeling. I couldn't keep anything down. I would take zophran to help but I would still throw up multiple times a day. Some days I couldn't get out of bed because I was so sick! My doctor ended up giving me phenagren so at least I was able to sleep through the night.
Ive come to realize I also have a nose of a blood hound. I can smell things that no one else can I swear I can smell things from china. Speaking of which I can NOT stand the smell of Chinese food. I don't know whats in it but even writing about it makes me sick. I also cant stand the smell of fast foods or Mexican. It makes me so sick. For the longest time I had to take the long way home because I couldn't drive past the fast food restaurants cause I seriously would have to pull over. Did I mention how fun it is to pull over on the side of the free way, in parking lots, on the sides of busy streets and throwing your guts out! Its real fun the looks you get from people. The best is when your at school and you have to run out of class into the hallway to the nearest garbage can, then walk in like nothing happened (even though they heard everything that took place out there). ITs great being in the car with Glen or friends and start dry heaving and telling them they need to pull over quick! Its really quite a rush... LoL. NOT!
I haven't had any crazy weird craving but when I do crave something I have to have it! Im on this egg kick right now along with breakfast foods I love omelets and egg's with toast. I eat it everyday for breakfast. I also love apples and watermelon (which im happy about). Like I said before I cant stand the smell of chinese or mexican food, which also means I cant eat them either! I also cant eat Alfredo or ranch dressing! My two favorite foods! If I eat anything I have to brush my teeth. Sometimes I can't stand the taste of my own mouth. LoL. I have to gum with me at all times or I get so sick!
Im not showing yet, just losing any short of shape that I had in the past. I wish that I would get a little bump so I didn't feel so huge and more that I was pregnant. I know its early but I swear I can feel my little munchkin moving around in there. I get these weird fluttery feelings like a butterfly is inside my stomach. Its usually at night, if im laying on my stomach. but im not sure, everyone says it could be who knows! Im super excited that im out of my first trimester and starting to feel better. Im so excited to find out what were having my doctor in Arizona is making wait til im 18 or 19 weeks. Im sad because if I was in Utah I would be finding out in about a week and a half! I guess it will be an even bigger surprise!
There is definitely nothing like being pregnant, that is for sure! I hope you enjoy your 2nd trimester like I always do! It makes you feel so much better about being sick for so long when you can see the ultrasounds and it looks like a baby, when you feel them kick, and when you do start growing. Being a mother is not easy, but is the best thing in the world! Thank you so much for the birthday cards for my kids, they enjoyed them so much! That was so sweet of ya'll to think of them. What is the town that you will be living in called? Take care and keep smiling!
ReplyDeleteThat is very true, I've never felt anything like this before! I cant wait to have a little bump and feel the baby. I'm glad the cards made it to the kids this time. Sorry two of them were late. I had sent them on their birthdays but they got returned and I forgot to send them out again. Sorry about that. We live in a town called Buckeye.
