Will this ever end?

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 ….

They are so yummy! Sweet and refreshing!  I’ve been eating lots of fruit.  Apples, oranges, and mixed fruit cups.  Even though I never have an actual HUNGRY feeling, it seems that fruit sits well in my stomach.  Yay :)
A friend posted this video on my Facebook wall the other day.  It looks so funny!  I can’t wait to watch it!

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! :)

11 weeks…

I am FINALLY starting to feel better!  This past weekend was pretty good.  NO nausea!  I am still feeling tired, but I would rather experience exhaustion instead of nausea any day!  I put up my Christmas decorations this weekend, and I even went to the mall to do a little Christmas shopping.  It felt good to be out somewhere else other than class or work.

I am feeling a little nauseous tonight, but not as bad as it has been.  I still have no appetite.  Eating is not really enjoyable yet, but at least I’m not puking it up!

I won a contest from George Street Photo!  They are the company that did my wedding photos.  I wore customized sneakers that I made for my Wedding.  Here is a picture of the winning photo!

I have to share this amazing video I saw.  It’s about what babies actually learn before they are even born…

Here is my belly pic of 11 weeks!  Still not really showing yet …

And here is a video of baby’s progress!

10 weeks …

I stayed home this Thanksgiving.  I haven’t had an appetite for food in weeks.  My nausea seems to have plateaued, but it still feels like a chore to eat, and the smell of certain foods still upsets my stomach.  Aaron went to his parents for Thanksgiving dinner.  I stayed home and put up my Christmas tree :)  I haven’t yet put the ornaments on, but the tree and lights are up!  Aaron put up the outdoor Christmas lights the other day.  I love the old fashioned look of the large Christmas bulbs outdoors.  I would like to get a vintage plastic Santa Clause for outside, too :)  I will post pictures of my Christmas tree and decorations soon!

I was able to make Aaron some Thanksgiving side dishes, and turkey breast.  I have to say, I really really love my stuffing and deviled eggs :)

Oh I hope and pray that by Christmas I will have an appetite!  A huge appetite so I can make lots and lots of holiday food!  Christmas cookies!  A gingerbread house!  More stuffing and deviled eggs!  A honey baked ham!  Crescent rolls!  Goodness I wish I had an appetite for this stuff NOW!
Here is baby’s progress this week! …
Here is my 10 week belly pic.  I know there hasn’t been any difference in tummy size yet :(  Hopefully once my appetite comes back we will start noticing a difference!
