With the second trimester on the horizon, things are becoming decidedly better around here. I still have some nausea, but I'm only throwing up if I'm not diligent about not letting myself get hungry. If I get hungry I will throw up whatever I ate last. This makes no sense to me, but at least I know how to control it. I get sick of eating all day so after dinner I'll usually take an anti-nausea pill which will usually help me get through the rest of the evening.
I've gained two pounds, though I look and feel like I've gained at least 10. My clothes are getting uncomfortable and my wardrobe now consists of pajama bottoms and sweat shirts. Like last time, I just can't stand having anything even remotely tight around my middle. I was in maternity clothes at 14 weeks with Alex, mostly because I was working and I couldn't get away with wearing sweats all day. I'm no where near ready for maternity clothes, but my current fashion statement isn't working for me. I'm going to buy a bella band this week and see if I resurrect some of my old pants.
My energy is slowly returning and I'm now able to play with Alex more often. Since it's so cold outside, we spend a lot of time building elaborate cities out of his mega blocks and driving his toy cars around. I can tell he's thrilled to have his mommy back. I'm thrilled to be back too.
