And so it begins...

The sickness was NOT due to lack of sleep...it is the start of the first trimester sickness! I have yet to share this blog with anyone yet....just logging my daily thoughts and emotions...but when anyone starts to read this I can describe what I'm feeling very easily.....the WORST HANGOVER EVER! At no point in the day does it get better. The only positive is that I have yet hugged the porcelain god, or get sick while out working or running errands...and I only hope that I don't! By 1:30 I am walking zombie. I am beyond tired and afternoon naps are a slice of heaven.

I am so glad I lost 14 pounds over the past few months because fast food has become a best friend (rolling my eyes & sticking out my tongue). My friend Skyla loved her some Chick-fil-a and talking to her today made me crave it. Thank goodness I have a mom that was two seconds from one and kindly dropped off some chicken nuggets, waffle fries and a large diet lemonade! (Thanks Em for the suggestion on the drink- it was amazing, after the first sweet-then-sour sip it was Mmm Mmm good!) Now usually people become obsessed with one place, but I do not discriminate....In the last 3 days people I have had taco bell, wendy's, jimmy johns ( deli meat is a no no but I could NOT resist), and now chick-fil-a. I laughed when I listened to my preggo friends when they told me all they wanted was greasy food or carbs...now it is no laughing matter. Well yes it is....they say you can learn a lot about a person by looking in their trash.....and that is a fact. As I went to throw away my chick-fil-a I laughed when I opened my trash can. On the top were two empty fast food cups and three crunched up fast food bags....can't wait until Mike gets home tonight and sees this...My close friend Emily shares the same OB and she is six months preggo and sadly still feeling like poo. Today she made me feel fabulous when she told me what out doctor told her..."If you can only eat twizzlers, then only eat twizzlers. At least you are eating something, it will pass".....I have less guilt as I shoveled my waffle fries :)

Today I ran by Babies-r-us to purchase some preggie pops. They are lollipops that are suppose to help with dry mouth and sickness. As soon as I got in the car I popped one in and it was a sad moment. I wanted to just cry. I was excited for it to work so I could be more comfortable while working. It was nasty! It made me want to throw up & I spit mine out....so back to the drawing board. Hopefully this stays as a first trimester thing!! Don't know how some of my friends had this longer than 12 weeks....

Just wanted to send a BIG THANK YOU to my sweet Emily Ley. She has been a source of information being 4 months ahead of me :) She also has been a great ear especially when I had my first of many crying sessions about my first doctor's visit. Emily was kind enough to give my little blog a much needed ELP/ELC facelift! You should have seen what the blog looked like before...so fuggly! Thanks to her fabulous eye and creative talent she threw together my blog design in a snap an I LOVE IT! Emily owns Emily Ley Paper and I highy suggest you look at her website as I am in love with her paper goods! And if anyone needs some branding help, Emily Let Creative has done some amazing work too! So Thanks again Em!! xoxo
