13 weeks, 2 days...

i have been feeling better over the last few days. i can slowly but surely see the light at the end of the tunnel. i have even had some spurts of energy here and there. and i have even started to feel more like "myself" - whoever that is!

this afternoon, i took a nap and was hungry when i woke up. i have a really really hard time eating. nothing ever sounds good. especially nothing we have in the house. i thought hummus and pita bread sounded good - but we don't have any. then i started thinking that a salad sounded good. rarely do i crave a salad. so i fixed a salad, ate it and now 45 minutes later - it is not treating me very well. i feel really sick. so frustrating. i had a list of things to accomplish this afternoon and i am too sick to move off the couch - for the fear of throwing up. gross, i know.

i guess this week i enter the second trimester - wow. this pregnancy is going super fast. although, i must say i will not be sad to leave behind the yuckiness of the first trimester. i have been the sickest with this baby. i have been very emotional too. i easily cry. easily get angry. easily run out of patience. easily snap and say not nice things. i don't like feeling this bad. so i welcome the second trimester and pray that i will be cured of the yuckiness.

i really want to enjoy every second of this pregnancy, but so far i haven't because of being sick. don't get me wrong it could be way worse. i am ready to feel good and enjoy this life inside of my belly - which is really showing. well, it is my fourth.
