Not I

I wrote this blog back in May or so and forgot to publish it.

After we got home Tuesday, I think we were both relieved and excited and decided to announce our news on FB. Wednesday came and went with nothing more than the usual nauseousness and cramping. Thursday we go out to Texas Roadhouse with some friends for dinner. I have 2 of their super yummy rolls, a side salad and order the grilled shrimp skewers. When they deliver the food it looks delish. When the waiter slides my plate under me I catch a whiff of the shrimp and almost lose everything I've already eaten. I quickly have David put my shrimp at the end of the table and just eat my green beans and dirty rice that came with it. I'm beyond frustrated because it looked really good and everyone else had some and said it tasted as good as it looked. Oh well. I still haven't been back to the gym since Monday but am leary anyway since I'm not supposed to get the heart rate over 140. Note to self, get something that measures heart rate. However, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. For those that know me well, know that I like to be on the go. And that feeling like I won't be well if I leave the house is sucking the life out of me. The good news however is that I am feeling better. I'm learning how to control the nausea by just eating small snacks all day, nutrigrain bar, 1/2 a PB&J, crackers & peanut butter, etc. The cramping is mostly tolerated with just tylenol. But the thing that is keeping me happy the most is my amazing husband. He knows when I'm not feeling well, can see it in my face & mannerisms and he just steps up to the plate every time. I normally love to cook dinner at night for my family, but I think in the last month I've only cooked twice. Mostly David and Taylor are taking care of things and I'm forever thankful! He genuinely cares about my well being and that gives me whatever strength I need especially when I'm only feeling like 10% of my normal self. My sister made pregnancy look easy! She had a few food aversions but that was about it. My friend Amy loved being pregnant! Not I, so far I can't say that I do. Now I'm excited that I am, what a miracle, but haven't had enough good days yet. I keep getting told, you should enjoy your pregnancy, relax. TRUST ME, I definitely WANT to and hope to get there soon!
