We bought our first baby item (well my mom did :) – baby bassinet we got used (but practically brand new!). Who knew a bassinet could vibrate, play music, turn a mobile and turn on a nightlight all using a remote control? LOL I’ll be the first to admit, I am not very baby-knowledgeable. I know, this will be quite an adventure (in many ways I’m sure). Nathan & will be discovering a lot along the way. I plan to be bugging my mom, my friends and using Google often ;)
Symptom-wise I have been so-so. This last week has been the hardest. I haven’t been sick, but already feel like a wimp. The biggest thing for me has been Food Aversion 101. I even have a hard time looking at the Sobeys and Superstore fliers! The sight of food just makes my stomach turn. It’s turned into a struggle, as my metabolism has increased so much so I have been needing to eat more, but it seems like I can only think of eating one or two items each time. And they change constantly! Really hoping this only lasts a few more weeks. Talk about total opposite from what I am usually like! LOL I read that pregnant women often get food aversions to the foods they enjoyed before they were pregnant. Well for me, I LOVE just about every food, so now the opposite of that leaves me with so little choices. Maybe I should try eating cow tongue and chicken hearts. Hehe
My super-sonic smelling doesn’t help either. I can smell the ‘impurities’ in the air everywhere. Most food smells rotten to me. At night I have a hard time sleeping because the air feels so stuffy and unclean. Sometimes I need to open the window and just take deep breaths or go outside for a bit. So strange.
But the good news is, I haven’t had any morning sickness. So I know it could be much worse. My pants don’t fit, but I haven’t gained any weight yet. I swear my stomach has grown quite a bit but I think I might be just examining it too much. Hehe I’d have to say Nathan has been phenomenal. I couldn’t be more supported by such an amazing husband.
Well last night we raided Nathan’s grandparents freezer for rappie pie. Does that count as a craving? It was the only thing I could fathom putting in my mouth for some reason. Good thing for great neighbors :)
Our ultrasound is on Monday so looking forward to that! Will post again with our experience!
