My Perch..

Let me just start off by saying I'm glad I'm journalizing (?) this whole experience. I feel like this pregnancy has sucked any alertness, intelligence, memory, and coordination from me. I feel like I have no brain left! When I say coordination I mean I have been nothing but clumsy (ask my poor bruised eye and how the fridge got in its way!) I'm very scatter brained. I'm making myself sound bad haha but they say its 'baby brain' and I am proof! Lord knows if I will remember these tiny details after cupcake is here, so I am very glad I am blogging this entire experience regularly to look back on!

Anyhow, this is a picture of me at home on my bed. This is my perch when I'm tired/fatigued/nauseous-which is still about 75% of the time one symptom or another. Notice my saltines and 4 choices of beverages. Bottled water, fridge water, sprite because the water wasnt tasting good at all, and orange juice to help cure that metallic taste I sometimes get in my mouth. I would have to say its the worst taste in your mouth. It tastes like I have a huge chunk of change in my mouth and the only thing to cure it is to keep citrus type stuff down- agh!) I havent felt completely good yet. If i dont have all of the symptoms hitting me at once I have a combination of one or two at once. I'm starting to see them ease away which is nice. I'm starting to figure it out to a T,  when I start to feel sick or wake up completely starving I snack on something and it helps a lot! My gag reflex still decides to creep up on me whenever it wants at ANY time of the day! Theres no predicting that one. Corey has been so patient and understanding with everything. He's been doing the grocery shopping because I cant even stomach the smell or be surrounded end to end with food! I'll be excited when I can get back to the gym and go with confidence knowing that I won't get sick mid way.

Haha it sounds like I've been miserable! Honestly I couldnt be happier! I'm just embracing this whole experience because I know how blessed I am to be carrying this precious baby cupcake inside of me. Knowing I am its sole caterer and "delivery woman" and it depends on EVERYTHING I do just puts a smile on my face and makes all of this so worthwhile! I often find myself waking up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep just thinking about him/her and so excited. It calls for a very tired day...but I'm perfectly okay with that:)
