Hello World! (I feel Yucky!)

I was hoping to escape this “morning sickness” stuff as I was feeling so great earlier. Though for the past few days I have just been feeling down right crummy! My stomach says “feed me” but my appetite doesn’t think anything sounds remotely good.

I will get moments of “this sounds good” and it absolutely stinks when you don’t have it in your possession. The latest foods that are typically okay with me is brown rice and multi-grain english muffins (even though they are tiny) with Bummel & Brown’s Strawberry Yogurt spread. (Oh that’s good) So – I’ve pretty much gone through a pack of English muffins since it’s one of the few things that sound good. (One is in the toaster, right now)

I guess the positive note is that since I’ve  “Been there. Done That.” I know what to expect with this so I’m doing it. If I don’t eat or drink, it’ll just make things worse and I’d rather not have a hospital trip like the many (I think at least 3-4) I had with Carli due to dehydration. Though to be honest, I have to force myself to drink because nothing seems all that thrilling.

On a positive note, our first appointment with ultrasound is in just six days! I am super excited for it.. to finally see Bug’s first picture! I will be about 7 weeks, 4 days by then so there should be a definite little being in there with arm buds and legs (and a big fat ol head).

Forrest’s birthday is tomorrow and we’re not really doing anything special. I want to cook him a delicious meal at home but the yuckiness feeling makes what I can be around unpredictable. But hopefully I will be fine tomorrow – because it is a special day.

Sometime next week we are taking Carli to see Mickey at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas. I anticipate that with both excitement and dread. Excitement because it’s Carli’s first time at Disney, but dread because I feel pretty (blah). But I am sure it will go fine.

It’s a good thing that this morning (all day) sickness is all worth it in the end. Also, if it’s like last pregnancy then I’ll start feeling fine around 15-16 weeks and feel great from then on out. (So how many more weeks to go? 9-10?) *sigh*
