Weekend Update

I haven't blogged anymore until now b/c I would have sounded like a broken record saying "I'm so nauseated today!" over and over and over. I never get sick, I'm just so nauseated! And dizzy. My mother passed out all the time when she was pregnant with me, so I've been wondering if that was going to happen to me. I've come close many times lately! And I really didn't want to complain all the time because I wanted to be a happy mommy-to-be... But it's really been kicking my butt. However, today the Tadpole has been good to me . From the minute I woke up this morning, I was feeling better. I looked at Hubby and said, "I'm not sick!" There have been a couple of times today that I might have felt a little queezy, but I've felt like a real person today! Praise the Lord!!!

Everyone always asks if I've started craving anything yet. Yes. Carbs! Carbs! Carbs! And chicken. Mainly chicken. Sometimes milk. Yesterday was mashed potatoes. I have no idea where the cravings come from, but nothing satisfies me until I get what I'm craving.

I was expecting the cravings. What I wasn't prepared for was the severe aversions I develop at the drop of a hat. When I'm hungry, it's not that easy to find what I want. I have to think about what I don't want and go from there. And smells are the biggest deciding factor in my aversions. There's no rhyme or reason to it either. Stinky people are the worst! I'm so glad that I quit smoking!!! And I sincerely apologize to every pregnant person that I've ever been in contact with while I smoked. Ugh!!! The smell of smoke on someone is more than I can bear. It's so awful!

Other than the yuckies, that's about all to report on up until this point in the game. Here's hoping for more good days!!!

I'm so excited that you quit smoking! That's one of the first thoughts I had."I'm glad Stacy quit smoking before this!" I'm just excited for you in general!

I feel for you...the smells can be so hard (and the nausea and vomiting that goes with it.) They were so bad for me with Brooke that I couldn't function, so I had to go on the meds even though I hated to. Hang in there...of course, it's all worth it, and they say it means a healthy pregnancy.
