My husband is such a dork. Yes, that's an umbrella....
Feeling: Still nauseous, but thankfully have medication now for that. Not AS tired but still fall asleep easily. I have these random spurts of energy which have been super helpful with packing a couple of boxes every night for our move. I was also able to go for a walk with Andrew and the dogs on Wednesday night and even though I felt like throwing up by the time we were done, I was glad we went.
Weight: Still haven't gained a damn thing. (SO HAPPY). I know that it will change once baby starts putting on more weight but I'm happy to say that I've stayed the same weight (or lost) and don't feel so bad when my clothes are so tight around the middle!
Cravings: ALL THE PICKLES. I thought that was always such a funny stereotype of pregnant people. It was always "You'll eat ice cream and pickles." .... no. Just the pickles please. I go through multiple jars of pickles in a week. In fact, it is Friday and I had to pop open my third jar. I'm also craving V8. I cannot, CANNOT, eat breakfast right now so I drink about two huge glasses of V8 in the morning to get me going and that has helped with the sickness tremendously. I really crave fresh foods too. Raw veggies, cucumber salad, pasta salad, sushi (veggie only).... really anything cold and made with fresh ingredients. I made homemade salsa the other day with farmer's market tomatoes and cilantro from my own herb garden and basically ate it with a spoon because I ran out of chips. I have NOT craved sweets very much and when I do I usually want froyo or ice cream of some sort. Oh, Wendy's vanilla frostys are my current lunch time obsession.
I have not hated pregnancy so far but I have had my days where I thought "Why did I do this to myself?!" This morning was one of those days but after some V8, crackers, and cheese sticks I've started to feel a lot better.
Here's hoping that I have at least a partially fabulous second trimester!
