Where have I been?? The first trimester has gobbled up all my energy. I feel like all I do is work, eat, sleep. As soon as I am done working all I want to do it eat dinner then go to sleep. Or at least lay in bed and watch TV till I fall asleep.
The so-called morning sickness (better known as 24/7 feel like death sickness) lasted from about week 5 – week 8. Since then I have only had some off and on heart burn and nausea. But not nearly as bad as before. The tiredness isn’t quite as bad as it was before, but still prevalent.
The hunger, oh the hunger. It never ends. I don’t think I’ve felt full since… well, I don’t know when. It’s ridiculous how much I can eat. Unfathomable even. My stomach just feels like a bottomless pit. I keep putting things in but it never gets full. And I can eat an entire large meal then feel hunger pain 15 minutes later. Makes no sense. This scared the crap out of me at first. I thought for sure I would weigh 500 lbs by the end of this pregnancy, but the doctor told me not to worry and to keep eating when I was hungry. Although she did mention eating healthy food and not junk food. I’m trying, but healthy food just isn’t very filling. It’s like my stomach laughs when I feed it apples. Then it gets pissed off at me for only feeding it apples and increases the hunger pains ten fold, demanding an entire large pizza instead. My husband finds it amusing. He told me I look “sexy” eating like this. Surely he has lost his mind. I only hope he finds it before the baby arrives.
