Sick Again
I am sick...again...with a bad cold, plus my morning sickness today was the worst it's been so far this pregnancy. Fortunately, Hubby and Baby Boy seem to be staying healthy. I feel a bit discouraged because my house is a mess and I have no energy to clean it; the kitchen is the worst--there are (nonperishable) grocery items from Hubby's shopping trip today still in bags on the counter, as well as unwashed dishes (although not too many, as Hubby has been helping a lot with dishes). For the past few days, the smell and sight of dirty dishes has made me feel nauseated....I can't even go near them. Blech.
Morning sickness stopped with my last pregnancy around week twelve, so hopefully I've just got to hang in there for a few more weeks!
I haven't gained any weight so far this pregnancy, which is fine with me. I think I started packing on the pounds almost immediately after I found out I was pregnant last time--I craved carbs and freely indulged in eating lots of bread products. This time, I'm trying to only eat one or two servings of grains a day. It is strange being pregnant and yet not feeling (except for the morning sickness) or looking pregnant.
Anyway, please just say a little prayer that I will feel better soon so I can take care of my family the way I want to!

Oh, I remember those days and I know more will come for me! Try not to stress about an undone house. If you're anything like me, the 2nd trimester nesting insticts are so strong, they more than make up for the lack of housework in the first trimester.
I had horrible morning sickness. Peppermint really does work for any upset stomach. I used those striped peppermint candies because it was the least expensive alternative at the time, but have had equal success with altoids and peppermint gum.
