The afternoon nausea of last week has upgraded to pretty constant nausea that is especially bad from the time I wake up until about dinner time. At least there's one meal a day I want to eat! I've been trying to eat in spite of the nausea because I read it's better to get some food in your stomach but I've been really disinterested this week. The only thing I consistently want to eat is spinach, I'm guessing because of the iron and folic acid. For some reason all my previous breakfasts disgust me so I've been eating only Kashi's version of frosted mini wheats. I'm also disgusted by desserts and chocolate, which is completely bizarre for me. I went to a wedding this weekend and when someone offered me a cupcake the thought of eating it made me sick. I have not gotten sick though, so I feel really happy about that.
It's getting a little more real every day. We had our first, "Oh my gosh! What were we thinking?!" moment this weekend. I imagine those will come and go with regularity. We didn't really think we'd get pregnant after only 2 months of trying but, here we are! I know we'll be fine but the thought, "How can we take care of a baby?!" run through my mind every now and then.
Little Blum,
As much as being nauseated pretty much all the time is not fun, I'm glad for the sign that you're in there. I think of and pray for you every day. Your dad is SO EXCITED, he asks me about you all the time. We can't wait to see you for the first time in only two weeks! I'm glad you like spinach. Keep up the healthy cravings.
Love,
Mama
