I guess it must be a little of both. Now, for posterity's sake, and my own "looking back" enjoyment, I will tell you about how I'm feeling lately... yuck. That can describe it...You name the symptom, I've had it--to varying degrees. There was a while (fortunately, it's getting better, so this isn't as often) where I would come home from work, and just lay down on the couch ALL EVENING. It was pathetic, and my house was a disaster. (goes to show I'M the one who does the cleaning--sorry honey..hopefully he won't read this entry, but I'm just trying to be truthful) I was craving citrus and salt (but when do I NOT crave salt, may I ask??) because that kept the nausea at bay a little... or maybe citrus and salt just sounded good at the time.
Jordan actually did clean the house a couple of times during those weeks, for which I am truly grateful, even if he doesn't believe me! Now, there haven't been crazy moments like "honey, I know it's 2am, but I need some...pickles and ice cream" or anything like that, but some foods just seem to appeal to me more than others, to be honest. Who knows, maybe later on in my pregant life, I will crave something crazy like olives on cheesecake (makes me want to GAG right now!!! I heard a lady who craved this on babycenter.com. GROSS).
I've only tossed my cookies once, when I didn't eat enough and took my vitamins anyway--BAD idea. I haven't started working out yet, because just being awake and doing something other than lounging on the couch is work out enough for me these days--I know, pathetic! I've also taken two full days in the past few months and SLEPT through the whole of them...I've never done that before. This baby-making is hard work, I guess!
Some foods that always sound good:
*smoothies
*fruit--any kinds, but mostly peaches and oranges
*toast
*crackers & cheese
*yogurt
*potatoes
*steak or pork chops
*Italian: lasagna, pizza, stuffed ravioli
Tonight is a ward dutch oven cook out, and Jordan's doing his dad's chicken and potatoes thing, and that sounds pretty good to me right about now!
Anyway, that sums up my first trimester. It was hard to get a picture in which I don't have a double chin--yeah, it's pathetic--being fat is NO FUN!! This picture was taken by my coworker, Amber. She's great, and helped me kinda get a good picture, even though I had to not smile so I wouldn't have a fat face...

Your bump is so cute! If you are like me, you will eat ANYTHING when you are pregnant. Except hummus. That was the only thing that made me lose it. See you at the party tonight!

congratulations on being pregnant!!! you look as beautiful as ever!
Finally! My goodness, that took a while. You were probably too busy laying on your couch after work, huh! I remember doing that. Andrew didn't have a wife for a good 4 months. I'm sorry your still feeling yucky-no fun. Hopefully you'll have a normal pregnancy and start feeling better in a couple weeks! :)
What a cute little bump! And it IS little, just wait until you're about to POP! HAhhhaa, I'm sure that made you feel great!
Sorry you're not feeling good. That's the worst part.
Oh, and your little munchkin is ADORABLE! Isn't it unbelievable to see ultrasound pictures???!
P.S. Did you ever get the email I sent you?
Kathryn, I finally registered on your blog so I can begin to comment and stuff! Your little boy Zach is SOOOOOOOOOOO cute!! I hope I have a baby that is half as cute as he is!!
Yes, I was a little... in sickly land for a while, but feeling MUCH better the past few days, so I'm hoping this trend will last!
Yeah! I'm glad to see your new posts. I love your picture! You look SO cute! Reading your post brought back so many memories from when I was pregnant...most of them bad memories...but the good ones are incredibly good! Hope you are hanging in there. Miss you!
You look great! I also craved citrus - one time I ate grapefruit for a week, sometimes three times a day. Now I don't want to eat it anymore though, but I still love fruit. Keep up the good work (baby-making...) :)
The crazy thing is when you are in the thick of it you think what have a done to myself! But, than after a couple of mon. (after baby is out) you think, oh it wasn't that bad. A couple of years you start thinking things like, oh it was actually kind of fun, than you get pregnant again and think, what have I done to myself!! You DO need to call me. I've left a couple of messages! (:
Vixe am I going to be tia together with Kika eh? That's AWESOME! Menina we have to get together and have billions of FUN :) Beijao
