I’m still feeling worse in the evenings, but the yuckiness has evolved into more of an exhaustion and weird motion-sickness feeling vs the previous regular ‘ole nausea and food aversions. There are plenty of foods that just plain don’t sound good, but I’m not having any very strong food aversions right now. Which is good I guess. (Sorry, I’m less than enthusiastic about anything right now - feeling “bleh” the majority of the time will do that to ya.)
And speaking of food, nausea, etc… I weighed myself last week and have a couple of times since. As of this morning, it appears that I’ve already lost 4.8 lbs. This is common for me, I lost around 10 lbs in the first trimester of both of my previous pregnancies, so I suspect I might lose a little more. I feel like I’m able to eat more of a variety this time vs the last 2 times when I was this far along, but I feel really sick if I eat more than half a portion or so of any one thing so I imagine that’s the culprit.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what we will need for this 3rd baby already! We threw away a few things after Kat was done with them, simply because they were worn out after 2 kids. There’s nothing on the short list of any large expense except maybe a new upholstered rocker. I’m still on the fence about that though. Shopping should be fun this time around!
And speaking of purchases, I’m hovering over the Checkout button at Pottery Barn Kids. They have some sweet, cold-weather, gender neutral newborn clothing on clearance. I’m trying to talk myself into waiting until after the appointment on Wednesday. If everything goes fine and my items are still in my cart then, maybe I’ll make the purchase.
That’s really about it – it seems like there’s not a lot of excitement during these last weeks of the first trimester. Just hoping to get through the yucky feeling and looking forward to feeling good again!
