Feeling Not So Hot :(

Well I must have spoken too soon. I've been having the worst nausea of my life :( I've been eating crackers and bread - anything that will help, but nothing is. I haven't really been vomiting but I dry heave quite frequently. Certain smells make me gag, like if Grant just smoked a cigarette and I smell his clothes or breath I get sick to my stomach.

Also yesterday we were grocery shopping and the sight of raw meat literally made me nauseous. I don't know what it is but there is something about meat (especially chicken) that has been making me sick. I can take a few bites and be ok, but then it's like I can taste iron or something in the meat and I start to get grossed out. Plus I start to think about these cute feathery living chickens and I feel like I'm eating a child's pet or something.

Grant said that its a sign of healthy pregnancy if I'm getting sick. So he basically told me he is happy that I feel like crap, ha ha. It's just hard to focus on work or school. I really hope it's not like this for my whole pregnancy. If it is, chances are I will get fired from my job. I feel like I have the attention span of a toddler. It's so hard to wake up in the morning too. Or let alone keep my eyes open all day while I'm at work.

I really want to get Jenny McCarthy's book - Belly Laughs. It has gotten really good reviews. I think she has a personality similar to mine, so I'd imagine her writing style is very blunt, to the point and not with the use of medical terminology. :) I guess she touches on all of the things about pregnancy that some women are too embarassed to talk about. Like constipation! What a pain in the rear (literally!). Well I should probably try and concentrate on getting some work done.

Until then... Queasy Mom-To-Be
