...confessions of a pregnant woman...

I had my first full meal today in the last two days. The nausea has been horrendous! And I have only been able to choke down a few crackers or some kool-aid...and not really eat. I know Adam is totally tired of it, but it has been awful for me! So...around 3pm today, I enjoyed a yummy chicken and french fry dinner from Long John Silvers. I know, not the most healthy choice! But, I have resorted to eating anything that sounds good as soon as it sounds good! So...chicken, french fries, hushpuppies, and mozzarella sticks! After about half of the meal, I was done, but some is better than none!

I have to work tonight, and plan to break the big news to the girls I work with. If they know, then it will be easier to explain the nausea and yuckiness that I will have going on! I'm excited to see their reactions!

Hey, congrats, by the way!!! Steve's and my 9 months has flown by and Little Baby Fortune will be here any day.

I had AWFUL morning sickness....lost 20 pounds over 4.5 months. Forced Gatorade for hydration purposes. I found that a weight-loss shake every 4 hours at least provided nutrition when no solid foods would stay down. Even though they're "diet" shakes, they're almost exactly the same as Ensure shakes nutrition-wise.

Take heart, it will all get better. Even the morning sickness is part of a wonderful journey.

Here's a hug. Eat whatever sounds good, whenever it suddenly sounds good!!! Good luck!!
