Aversions

I'm still pretty sleepy. But now I can at least make it through the day without a nap. You better believe though, that when my head hits anything, pillow, book, table, I'm out! haha!

I haven't been able to eat anything except for saltine crackers. It's the only thing that doesn't make me gag when i think about it. Nothing else sounds good, which is hard because I'm hungry!

I made breakfast this morning; Portuguese sausage, eggs and toast. It smelled so good as I was cooking, and it actually looked good on my plate! I got the first bite down alright. Took the second bite and nearly threw up! Ugh! So irritz! Good thing I have a house full of boys, they ate that right up! So I just had my usual saltine crackers and oj.

Oh, drinks are the only other thing I can have plenty of and not get nauseous. I've been getting a lot of oj, apple juice, milk, and coconut water.

I've figured out though, that I tend to enjoy food that isn't overpowering in taste. The blander (is that a word?) the better. Things with distinct flavor usually make my stomach turn. So stuff like broth, plain scrambled eggs, yogurt, and string cheese are all staples for me right now.

I haven't gained weight yet (thank you!) but my waist has expanded about a half an inch (frek!).

Exercise usually helps me to feel more energized, but I've cut back on the intensity of my workouts (I'm all about High Intensity Interval Training-love it!), just until I get clearance from the Doc next week.

I feel like the only things that sound good to eat, I can't have, or at least I shouldn't have. Like medium done steak, poke, over medium eggs with toast, and a big fat tuna melt.

I'm pretty scared about motherhood. All my inadequacies seem magnified right now, and although I'm excited about holding my child, I'm scared.to.death. I've always held motherhood in the highest esteem and I just worry that I'm not cut out for it.

I love seeing how excited Misi is about the baby. He loves sharing the news with everyone, and he honestly just glows as he tells people he's going to be a dad. It's the cutest thing ever.

It's so crazy to think that next Christmas we could have a little 5 month old celebrating with us! It all seems so surreal.
