Overall the nauseousness really hasn't changed....still there. Unfortunately, it's pretty steady unless I eat a meal and the bummer is that a little snack doesn't cut it. I've tried crackers, a banana, granola bar, etc... and it won't touch the nausea unless I actually have some real substance like a meal. That unfortunately means that I'm eating...a lot. Eating on a vacation certainly didn't help that at all either!! :)
The pregnancy insomnia has started to kick in. I usually go to bed and don't wake up until morning. Now, I'm up 2-3 times for the bathroom and usually at least one of those I have a terrible time getting back to sleep and toss and turn for an hour or so. I guess I can be thankful that it's helping me prep for not having such an uninterrupted nights sleep when baby comes!
On the bright side of all of this, we're getting sooo close to 2nd trimester. I can't wait for some energy to return and to start feeling better. I've been feeling really tired and I've had a few times this past week where all I want to do at every opportunity possible is take a nap. Poor Mark got to experience it a couple days ago. First off I was just tired all day. The sun was shining but it was too cold to be out doing much of anything and I really didn't have the energy even if it was nice enough. Well we were sitting in Adie's room and I was telling him that I wanted fruit - a nice fruit salad, fruit smoothie, something fruity. He said that he thought it would be good for us to get out of the house for a little while so he suggested we run out to a couple places and stop for a fruit smoothie and from out of nowhere, I started crying. He looked at me with a smile and asked what was wrong and all I could say is "I don't know!!!!" We sat and laughed about me crying for absolutely no reason at all and that I must have gotten a fresh batch of pregnancy hormones all of a sudden! We ended up making it to the car and got a fruit smoothie....much better :)
Cravings....so far I'm loving chicken ceasar salads like I did with Adie. The chips and salsa aren't doing anything for me this time around though. I'd say my biggest thing this time is chicken salad sandwiches. We've had a few deli trips for that so far. The other thing is the fruit lately.
Adie and I went to a mom to mom sale this morning for something to do...crazy to think we're going to be back at baby stage before long. We didn't buy anything since we don't know the sex yet but it was still fun looking around! Adie has changed her mind recently...she's sure it's a girl now :)
Think that's it for weeks 10 and 11. Next week is our first midwife appointment. I was supposed to have my surgeon appointment this past week for the hernia but our prayers have been answered and it really hasn't been bothering me. We'll see what the midwife says next week.
