Whew. First trimester, my ass. I don't recall pregnancy being so hard. I know I have a toddler to take care of day in and day out, hour after blasted Dora-Super-Why-filled hour. But, still.
I'm 15 weeks now and only starting to feel better like, today. Earlier this week I was taken down by an on-the-threshold of a migraine headache that lasted intermittently for about two and a half days. Tylenol helped me as much as chewing a gummy-bear would help. I found peace in retreating to my bed with a massive cold compress wrapped around my head and covering my eyes. This rendered me semi-useful as a mother for a few hours at a time.
The nausea, oh the horrid room spinning nausea ended a few weeks ago, only to be replaced with food aversions to anything that could be called food. Eating was a miserable task. Feeding Noah was a miserable task. Breathing was difficult at time because every air molecule seemed to contain some hint of food smell.
Alas, that has passed. I ate a good sized dinner tonight and only burped about twenty times. Deep, chest-rattling, wake-the-neighbor's-baby, rumbling belches. Gross, yes, but it felt good.
I'm very often hungry and have no idea what it is that I want but at least I can eat food and it usually tastes pretty good.
I'm absolutely smitten with all the delicious local produce, tomatoes, squash, beans, berries, apples, peaches ... I can't get enough and I am thrilled to pieces with how healthy I am eating and how I feel.
I actually felt good enough to take Noah out yesterday, twice (!!). My return gift was that he slept through the night instead of blattering for me at the unpleasant hour of four goddamned o'clock. And this morning I took him to the playground and for a walk around the 'hood.
There is absolutely nothing else interesting right now to write about but I promise to upload some pictures very soon.
well i think this is very interesting...nice blog..keep it up
