Mind if I vent for just a brief moment...?
I've spent this whole trimester mad at [biblical] Eve for eating the fruit from the Garden of Eden way back when. I know all it says in the Bible is that God punished her by causing childbirth to hurt but I'm convinced that God said "childbirth is going to hurt, etc, etc...basically you're gonna be sick and stuff". The first trimester of pregnancy is laaame. My second trimester begins the first week of April and I'm counting down the days. I recently purchased a book called "Belly Laughs" by Jenny McCarthy. She candidly explains her first and only pregnancy and it's so refreshing to hear someone else verbalize exactly what I'm thinking. It's especially nice to read after you lie to people about how you feel..."I feel great! [only not really, I feel like crap], this is such a blessing and I'm super excited! [only I'm faking this bubbly mood right now]...everything's rainbows and sunshine!...[only without the rainbows and more like black clouds and hurricanes]". My food aversions have consistently remained difficult and Italian food has always sounded capital Deee-sgusting. I cannot STAND Olive Garden commercials. What sounds good today will be completely different from what I'll want tomorrow. It goes like this:
Monday: Macaroni and cheese
Tuesday: Burritos...forgot the lettuce...
Alex: "I can't have burritos without lettuce! I have to have that lettuce!" [and I made a special trip back to the grocery store for $1 lettuce while Isaiah looked at me like this...]
Wednesday: Isaiah names off whats in the pantry..."macaroni and cheese?"....
Alex: "YUCK!...how bout BBQ"
Thursday: Breakfast food
Friday: Isaiah mentions the left over burrito fixings...
Alex: "SICK! How about Red Velvet cake?"
Saturday: Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans
Sunday: Isaiah...afraid to ask..."Sunday morning breakfast...?"
Alex: "Biscuits...but only with Apple Butter...please :)"
It's not entirely worth it for me to go out to eat anymore. Since I haven't felt good, I haven't been eating normal portions [and I think my stomach shrank]. I've always been one to pile a mountain of food [I can't eat] on my plate but now I have to remind myself that I can only eat 1 egg and 1 piece of toast when I feel like breakfast food. Quick story: One night Isaiah brought home a pizza [funny how all of my stories about Isaiah begin that way], I had one slice and didn't want any more and he goes "YES!" excited that he had an entire pizza all to himself :)
I had to ask my doctor at my first appointment if I was allowed to have caffeine and she said it was completely fine as long as I limit myself to no more than 4 glasses a day [1 or 2 being ideal]. I thought "oh good because I was going to drink sweet tea anyway"...haha!...not really...but seriously....
My child is going to come out Southern whether he or she likes it or not!
My next doctor's appointment has been changed. It's now March 16th. I'll keep you guys posted! :)
