Felling very yucky today. I thought I was in the clear in terms of morning sickness and exhaustion, but I guess I was wrong. Yesterday, I started feeling really tired and the site of certain foods made me gag. This morning, I woke up feeling very nauseous, so I ate some toast only to throw it up minutes later. I feel so typically *pregnant*. I'm hoping it's a fluke and that I won't feel like this every day.
********************************************
I typed this a couple days ago and never got to finish it. The nausea, fatigue, and general yuckyness has *definitely* started. Maybe it's a girl after all? I'm feeling just like I did with Olivia. Of course, that's just an old wives' tale, but I'd be thrilled to have another girl.
I am wearing my sea-bands again and looking very silly, but I'm convinced these things work. Also, I haven't been able to wear my wedding band and engagment ring or my other ring since the second I learned I was pregnant. My fingers are so swollen and ugly. I don't want to look like an unmarried woman considering I have a toddler and another on the way. Call me old fashioned, but I still believe that people should be married when they have kids because that's what the bible says. I'd appreciate you please respecting my beliefs. My beliefs are not up for debate. Anyway, morality aside, it makes me sad to think that I'll have to go sans rings for 7 more months!
I still have lots of pictures to post and catching up to do, but I'm hosting a fall dinner at my house tonight and I have to get cooking! :-)
Posted by Hannah at October 26, 2007 02:23 PMI have the exact sentiments re: marriage/children so I completely understand about wanting to wear your rings while pregnant! You could get some of those inexpensive CZ rings from Target or something (I have a friend who did that) or get a pretty ring with rhinestones all around but is elastic so it will stretch to what you need!
Also, you poor thing having to cook for people when you're nauseas, I don't know how you do it! A huge kudos from me, there was no way I was cooking for ANYBODY in my first trimester!

Sorry to hear about the morning sickness. I hope it goes away soon!

Posted by: Jamie at October 28, 2007 11:31 PMI was going to say what Jamie said... just toss them on a neckless... that way if anyone gives ya an dirty look you can whip them out lol... but so many women get so swollen when they are pregnant most can't wear their rings...
Posted by: Shannon O. at October 29, 2007 10:36 PMI know this is late but I just had to comment on this post. I completely agree about the rings. I was extremely lucky when I was pregnant with my son - I didn't have to take off my wedding ring until I was 40 weeks pregnant. If he'd been born on time instead of a week late I wouldn't have had to take it off at all. I would probably go for the cheap option. Even just an inexpensive gold band for *Wal*Mart* would at least signify your non-singleness. :-)
Oh and I have to comment on the morning sickness. I had nausea and vomiting until I was almost 21 weeks pregnant and I had a beautiful, bouncing baby boy. So you never know!!
