Update

So I thought I would do an update. I am still sick and it seems to be getting worse. I am hanging on to the little bit of hope that during the second trimester (that starts in just two-three hopefully short weeks) things will start to be better! the only upside is that its only a few more days until I get to hear my baby's heartbeat and the ultrasound will show more than a speck! We are very much in the process of moving and I am stressin more and more everyday about the move and getting everything done in time. I stop working December 23rd. Unfortunatly, I work everyday until then at least eight hours. This put my stress at a whole new high. Not only does that cut time short for packing, that means after working an eight hour retail holiday busy shift, I get to go home ad continue to pack up my home until who knows when at night. Boo. On a better note, Mike graduated this last weekend and although I am still tired from staying out late- we had a great time! I am so proud of him and admire him for all of his hard work and ambition. I am glad graduation is over it was definatly a snore and a half but Ms. Paula (my fantastic mother-in-law) fed me peppermint sticks the whole time and we people watched so it was much better than it could've been. I can't wait until its January, because that means all of this stress and work will be behind usand we can get started on our new life!

I Am Sick of Being Sick!

I am so super excited to b e having a baby! BUT I am no longer excited about the naive thought that I would look forward to all of the funny little symptoms that go along with it. To them I say BOO! While I am truly enjoying my beautiful ahem new rack, the joy only lasts a few minutes while getting dressed in the morning because then I realize that I can still smell shampoo and thought of just that smell makes me want to yak! I know it's all worth it in the end, but I want the sickness to stop. I want to be in the "fat, happy pregnant stage" not the "same chunky as I've been perpetually sick phase." Nothing except mac and cheese, oatmeal and cereal taste good and none of that is healthy all the time. The only other thing that sounds good is the Salmon crepes from Double Eagle and I can't even have that! I know, I know, woe is me, millions of women have been through this and more over centuries, but they're not me and I am ready to embarass myself and throw a fit about it if it will stop! Everyone says the second trimester is better and I only have a few weeks until then. I hope it goes by fast!
