As as this pregnant thing is, I never knew that I would be having an OUT-OF-BODY experience. That's seriously how I feel. I do not feel like myself at all. My mom tells me that every time I'm exhausted or feeling sick to just remember that my baby is needing the energy from me and growing. Ok mother, but easier said than done. (:
So....other than sleeping 15 hours a day and feeling car sick 24/7, I am experiencing some other lovely things. My food cravings are OUT of control, I crack myself up! The first week I couldn't eat enough sandwiches. I was addicted. After 7 days of sandwich lovin' I moved on to soups, because I started to feel extremely nauseous and that was the easiest to get down. The sad thing about this whole food cravig/nausea thing is that I am definitely not craving the veggies that usually consists of 65% of my daily diet. Not only do I feel very un-healthy not getting my greens down, but I do feel a huge difference in my daily health, so I am trying to work on getting them in....which brings me to another thing. vitamins, I take a lot of them each day. But I know it's the #1 thing that I should feed my baby and myself.
So back to the whole 24/7 carsick feeling... I feel like I haven't really brushed my teeth in about 3 weeks, because every time I try to brush, it triggers the gag reflex and you know what happens with that... one morning all my fiberblend came right back up...not good. So, I try to just use mounthwash, and very lightly brushing my teeth.
So with all the complaining, headaches, throwing up, feeling fat because I can't eat m veggies, I wouldn't change any of it for the world. I know I will look back one day and laugh!
