Awe… I feel it! No, No My Dear You Don’t.

So symptoms. Holy symptoms. I am a barfy zombie as of late.  I know I experienced some symptoms during fertility treatment, but nothing like these.

Morning Sickness  all day sickness -  followed with nightly barfing. Luckily my doc started me on a new medication that seems to be stopping this. Whew!

Fatigue insanely tired narcoleptic -   I never nap and now I am obsessed with naps. They are awesome

Gas- not the booty kind… I have the belching kind.  I think I burp a million times a day.  Yes pregnancy has made me a gross-o.

Constipation – the latest symptom to be added to my list. I am taking a fiber supplement to no avail.  It had been 4 days since I had a bowl movement. Lovely I know.  I was actually at a wedding and one of my sweet little friends wanted to feel my belly even though she knew there isn’t anything there yet and then she says… oh I do feel a little bump… no no my dear that’s not a baby bump, that’s a poop bump.  I am MISERABLE and soooo bloated. I have had Thanksgiving during which I ate half of my own pie. . There is no more room for anything to go in until something comes out.  Trying some new things this week.

Food Aversions - Just about everything sounds sick right now. I will say eggs, peanut butter, anything bbq and Chipotle DO NOT work for me. I know, my beloved Chipotle. Baby W will just have to learn how awesome it is later.

Food Cravings -  As the thought of food and any of the cooking shows make me feel queasy, there aren't many of these yet.  Orange anything juice, oranges, cuties... LOVE.  Blended DECAF snickers latte drinks from Scooters. I went through a Wendy's chicken nugget stage until I threw it up so this is  pretty much it at this point.  No these things are healthy and yes, I am eating other things, but these are only things that don't make me gag so I call them my special treats...even though I get special treats every other day.  I guess baby gets what baby wants right now :) 

Yes, most of these symptoms are gross and a little sucky, but I will gladly experience them.  They mean things are going well. They mean I am growing a human.  I never thought I would be thankful for barfing and yet, here I am beyond grateful for my time spent over the toilet. J

Baby updates: at 9 weeks we got to hear baby W’s  heartbeat. Coolest thing ever!  Yes, I cried again J I may cry at ever appointment and I’m ok with that. 

9 weeks (pre poo problems)
