I think the past week or so has been pretty much trial and error here. I was fine (no real pregnancy symptoms) up until the end of last week; around Thursday or so. That tired feeling hit me like a train. Regardless of going to bed early, I'm still freakin' tired! NOW I know what they mean when they say in your first trimester you get REAL tired all the time. It just doesn't seem to go away. Well the weekend wasn't so bad mainly b/c I took four hour naps. But getting back to the norm of the week is tiring! This morning I got up, took a shower, lotioned up, changed clothes, fixed my hair, grabbed a little breakfast and when I sat at the table, I was tired! Like I ran around the block or something. sheesh!
I've also noticed taste preferences. My normal breakfast is usually half a cup of yougart mixed with some bran cereal and almonds. Been eating that for a while now. Well come yesterday I'm eating and I don't like it like I usually do. but I convince myself that it's psychological. I just THINK I don't like it b/c I always here of women suddenly likeing and disliking certain things cduring their pregnancy. So I force my self to eat it... very reluctantly so. At least until half way though, I just can't. I'm borderline pushing myself to that point of vomiting. So I stop b/c I REALLY don't want to ever have to do that during this pregnancy. But now I'm hungry, damnit. And if there's one thing i'm so paranoid about, it's being hungry. It's one thing when you are hungry and maybe starve yourself until you get a chance to eat. you are only depriving yourself. Now if I get hungry, I fear that I'm depriving the baby and the baby won't develop well and healthy! So I HAVE to eat when I am hungry.
So what do I do? I up and leave work to grab a chicken bowl. How crazy is that? But now, I came right back and ate it while I worked. Oh I felt SO much better AND felt more energized. Guess I needed some calories!
