Well the first trimester has come and gone.. wowsers! I seem to be one of those mama's that gets blessed with the extreme nausea.up-chucking mode while I'm preggo. Sure, they like to say it means your kid will be a genius... (and I'm not going to say that Azriel isn't).... but really? I think it's just a statement to justify feeling like junk for months. Anywho, I am still super thankful for a day and age where they have Diclectin (the wonder drug of anti-nausea for pregnant women)! I keep trying to just get by on the minimum dose (I don't like meds in general)... but this baby insists on making me hate eating. I know one key is to have a continual series of snacks on the go - but the very thought of any food makes me start to heave. One of my midwives said Almonds have a good amount of Vitamin B - the anti-nausea trick... so I'm eating those like a chipmunk!
I hope I'm not complaining, I know things would be a lot worse if I couldn't keep my meals down at all. So yes, I'm thankful for even this stage - since it marks the miracle of new life.
