I am back to feeling nauseous.  I threw up this morning while brushing my teeth.  My stomach is still sour even though almost 12 hours have passed.  I really wish I would start feeling normal again.

It’s strange.  Even when my stomach feels ok, I still feel bad.  Even when I sleep in, I still feel blah.  I never have an appetite, even when my stomach feels ok.  I never seem to have energy, even when I’ve slept for hours.   It seems like I can’t shrug off this yucky feeling, even when I’m physically feeling ok.  I can’t get relief.

I’ve learned that eating fruit doesn’t make me feel nauseous.  I am in love with Mandarin oranges!  I’ve been eating lots of those.  And these ….

I have some good news! … This will be my last week of the semester!  I have been studying for my Biology final, and I can’t wait for it all to be over!.   I am getting A’s for the semester. Yay!  Studying hard, and never missing class, no matter how bad I’ve felt, really paid off!

Here is my 12 week belly pic.  Still not much change, although I can’t comfortably button my jeans anymore…

Video of baby’s progress … and the last week of the 1st Trimester!  Woo hoo!  Last week of the school semester, and last week of baby’s 1st Trimester! :)

I am feeling ok this morning!  I had some fruit that Aaron’s parent’s gave me.  Really yummy.  Cantelope, pineapple, and grapes.  I also ate some watermelon and clementines; a pancake and one sausage link.  And my stomach still feels ok!  Yay!

I still haven’t gained any weight.  Initially, when I started feeling nauseous during the beginning of my pregnancy, I lost 5 pounds.  I haven’t yet gained that back.   I am now officially into my 2nd trimester.  Hopefully I will get my long lost appetite back, and start gaining weight!

The semester has officially ended, and I got all A’s! Yay me!  I am off school until January 9th.  I also will be off work for 2 weeks starting Wednesday!  Wow… no school, and NO work.  I will have so much free time!

Since I have this small window of opportunity to do other things.  This is the best time to begin preparing for the baby.  I have someone interested in buying my waterbed.  Once it’s sold, Aaron and I will be getting a king size storage bed.  Here is a picture of what it will look like…

Today is my first day of vacation.  I won’t be back to work until Janurary 3rd, and I won’t have to be back to school until January 9th!  I took a nice hot bath, washed my hair with that Suave apple scented shampoo (love that stuff) and slipped back into fresh jammies.  Ahhh :)

I felt miserable yesterday after coming home from work.  I felt like I would feel better if I put something in my stomach so I ate some mashed potatoes, and a few spoonfuls of Aaron’s chocolate ice cream.  Still didn’t feel any better.  Aaron started to make me a grilled cheese sandwich while I went to brush my teeth.  Well, I threw everything up, but dammit I ate that grilled cheese sandwich, and two pickles afterwards!

I am just so so so tired of this nausea.  The first trimester is OVER!  Christmas is only 3 days away!  I guess I won’t be having a nice Christmas feast afterall :(

I went to Kohls today.  Where are those pregnancy parking signs when you need them!?  I had to park at the end of the parking lot, and seems I walked a block to the store in the freezing cold. Yuck.  I found a couple pairs of maternity jeans.  They seem to fit pretty well.  I like them.  It feels good not to have my regular jeans unbuttoned and still digging into my waist.  It’s really strange though… I haven’t gained any weight still, but my waist is bigger.

I saw this AMAZING flash mob Christmas video that I just have to share…

I cried when I saw this. It’s just an overwhelming feeling when you’re in the midst of people worshiping God!  I keep watching this video over and over!

 Belly pic at 14 weeks …

I bought some of this…

Does anyone know if this works well in preventing stretch marks?  I know I have nothing to worry about right now, but I just want to be prepared for when I’ll need extra support for my skin.  Does anyone have any suggestions on anything better?

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS! ♥
