I gotta admit... I do not like being pregnant. I have been told things get better the 2nd trimester, so I am looking forward to that! I have morning sickness. Not just in the morning, but all day. Yep, I feel like a cancer patient going through chemo. Hopefully by week 13 (I am at week 9) the morning sickness will go away like everyone is telling me it will! The other thing people do not tell you is how uncomfortable being pregnant is. Now, I knew I would be uncomfortable like at month 8 and 9, but I never expected to be uncomfortable right now! Never mind the fatigue and the feeling like a weakling... I'm talking about the aches and pains from things growing bigger! I know I should not complain... especially since I am lucky to have a baby growing inside of me in the first place! And I know it will all be so worth it in the end. I just want this dang morning sickness to go away. I've already lost 4 pounds since getting pregnant. Nothing under the sun sounds good to eat. I never know what to make for dinner (resulting in Dan starving). I just have to snack on whatever seems good at the moment. Here are some random things Dan runs to the store for so far...
The Velveeta is the only thing that I can seem to stomach more than once. The Lucky Charms are a no go since I threw them up on Sunday. And I am enjoying some Puff Cheetos as we speak. Do you really want to hear something crazy? I don't even want candy anymore! Sweet stuff never sounds good!
So at 9 weeks, my uterus is the size of a grapefruit, and the baby is the size of a large grape. Come on baby, grow, grow, grow!
