I find myself praying for a speedy next 5 weeks to get us past the first trimester. You'd think this is because I want to spread the news of our pregnancy, but no, it's because I'm hoping the nausea will pass!

"They" lie when they call it morning sickness. The only time I'm not nauseous (though thankfully not throwing up... yet?) is at lunchtime. Otherwise, morning and evening is filled with a feeling of inappetence and no desire to cook. Poor Craig! (Or maybe it's good for him, since I am not the World's Greatest Cook anyway!) The only foods that go down easy are fruit, dairy, and eggs. I've managed to swallow a few carbs and veggies, but meals are definitely not "balanced" at the moment. I've lost 3 lbs in the last 3 weeks, which is good for me and probably isn't bothering the baby.
I'm still experiencing the frequent urination and exhaustion symptoms as well, but everything else feels wonderful. I just really dislike when anything comes between me and my meals, so the nausea is frustrating! But it's a reminder that we're expecting!
I also had a "craving" for Craig's Swiss Rolls yesterday - and I made the excuse that "Baby wants one!" to get them from him - but wow, were they sickly-sweet processed baked goods! Good thing that's not my usual craving; I much prefer plain applesauce currently.
But, hello? Where is my increased cup size? I was really looking forward to toting around some great looking "girls" for the next few months - I hope they catch up!
