A Trip Down Memory Lane

I forgot how much "fun" the first trimester is. Actually, I don't even think I forgot. I am almost positive I wasn't this nauseous with Lincoln. I remember being tired out of my mind with Lincoln. Right now I do get tired more quickly yes, but not like I remembered. Instead I just feel like blah.


I feel the worst when I'm hungry. Usually if I'm feeling nauseous and I eat something within a few minutes my tummy settles down and all is well for awhile. But have you ever tried to eat when you feel like puking? And so I find myself standing indecisively in front of the refrigerator looking at what we have to eat. I run through the options in my head, but all the options make me want to vomit. I'm not joking. It's so ridiculous because I know that the one things that will make me feel better is eating something...anything. But I can't do it because everything sounds gross, or the smell of it is gross.


So what do I do? I put off eating as long as I can, which is brilliant (please note the sarcasm and the eye rolling) and when I'm desperate I end up eating about 4 pieces of toast, because it is the only thing I can attempt to choke down. I can't even tell you how much bread we've gone through in the last two weeks. But I guess I should be grateful because I haven't actually thrown up yet. I just feel like I'm going to most of the time. Maybe it will be better when we get away from the heat. Who knows.

getting away from the heat will help lots. Keep crackers with you always and nibble on them always. I never had morning sickness but I nibbled on crackers all of the time.

I got sick of crackers but found something that worked and provided some nutrition as well. Subway sandwich, Turkey breast with lettuce on Honey oat bread. Nothing else, the lettuce was the best part and I never got sick when I ate this.

Unfortunately I have no advice for you because I never had morning sickness. I think because when I was pregnant with Logan I was working 12 hr shifts as a nurse. When I was pregnant with Ben, I was busy chasing Logan around(he was two). Keeping my mind off of it and taking a daily nap helped me a lot!!
