Pregnancy
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 I obviously don't have experience but from what my friends have told me, you tend to lose weight before you gain it. I had no idea how uncomfortable it was in the beginning - dang! I can't believe how quickly the kid grows!
Keep us updated!
I can completely relate to everything you said! We went on a cruise when I was 6 weeks along and I didn't eat hardly anything and when we came back, I was 3 pounds lighter than before! I could only eat milk and salads in the very beginning. Then, I only wanted weird things like cheese and crackers, pizza, and sour patch kids! It really does get better, so hang in there.
I know what you mean about being uncomfortable because everything is expanding ha ha! It happens so fast and the baby is so small! The fatigue part is one of the hardest things because you have no energy for anything!
You're gonna be a great mommy and I'm very excited for you!
Once you get through this sick feeling you will really start to enjoy being pregnant! I swear it's true. 2nd trimester you don't feel as tired or achey (everyone's different). Just remember how exciting it will be to have this little baby and it will take your mind off of everything else! Keep up the good work...keep eating WHATEVER it is that you can and don't get too discouraged. Call me anytime you want...LET'S DO LUNCH AGAIN!! What is your schedule? Love you, Carrie! I am excited for you.
Ha Ha! I feel like I just went through that... oh yeah, I did! Remember when you said you would eat so healthy when pregnant! Its hard to do when you can't stomach anything but weird things like puff cheetos. Don't feel bad, thats the way it goes for awhile. Let me give you a heads up, it won't go away magically once you hit 3 months. It's more like feeling less sick than before until all of the sudden you're like, "hey, I don't feel sick!" and then one day you might all of sudden feel sick again for that day! Gotta love it! Having children makes you selfless, even when that child is the size of a grape! You will do great Carrie... LOVE YOU!
Carrie! you might not even remember me but we used to be in Los Alamos ward together. My maiden name was Garrett. Anyways I wanted to clarify so i didn't look like a creeper. I found your blog and I am so glad to see you so happy, you guys are adorable! Congrats on the pregnancy and I hope all is well and you are feeling better!
