This week all of the more classic pregnancy symptoms hit me like a ton of bricks. I was so tired one Saturday that I barely made it out of bed the entire day. Sleep has never sounded so sweet. Also, I got a little of the morning sickness. It wasn't terrible. I never ran to the bathroom to vomit. But I definitely did not feel good. Along with the morning sickness came some pretty strong food aversions. I cannot pinpoint any one food in particular, but all of a sudden, just the thought of certain foods would make my stomach turn. For example, Daddy R and I just went to Trader Joe's to buy some healthy pregnancy snacks. And almost everything I bought--especially the wasabi almonds--make me want to hurl. When I told Daddy R that I needed all new snacks he looked at me like I had gone completely insane.
On the other hand, some foods sound absolutely amazing. Again, I cannot pinpoint any one food. Instead, I am having STRONG cravings for elaborate meals. For example, I do not want just a piece of quiche or some macaroni and cheese. No, that will simply not cut it. I want an appetizer, a main course, lots of perfectly suited side dishes, and dessert. Man, this baby must has some seriously high standards already.
The strangest thing I ate this week: a raw tomato with balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and chocolate truffles. Yes, tomato and chocolate=classic pregnant woman. Thankfully, the horrible cramps are continuing to lessen. We have also been thinking about nursery themes and we are continuing to work on the never ending task of better organizing our house before baby comes.
Here I am this week. Still not obviously showing, just looking kind of fat. You can't really tell because I am wearing a baggy outfit and was too tired to change the outfit.
