Questions

So every since people started finding out I was pregnant, I feel the same two questions over and over. First, how are you feeling and second, are you having any weird cravings.

It's always very difficult to answer how I'm feeling, I mean how much information do people really want? Some days I feel very tired and nauseated but that seems to be getting better as time goes by. Sometimes I have abdominal discomfort that of course makes me very anxious and makes me analyze everything it could possibly be, so in turn I am probably completely distracted. Some days I feel fat because nothing I tried that morning fit the way it used to, and I'm still trying to adjust to this in between phase. I usually feel very excited and blessed to be pregnant at all and excited to see the ways my body is changing. However, I usually answer this question with a simple "good."

As far as weird cravings, I don't feel like I've wanted anything totally bizarre. My first craving according to Kev was fried okra, and if you know me, I very rarely eat fried foods. At first, I really liked sandwiches and cheese, but now I really don't crave either one. I can't tolerate coffee in the morning which makes me really sad because I usually drink coffee DAILY. Now I really love green tea (decaf) which I didn't really love before. I can't stand green onions, and I try to avoid anything with lots of onions and garlic. I have totally changed my morning routine from oats and walnuts everyday to Kashi cereal (1 particular kind) with 1 boiled egg.

So if any of you have been thinking of asking these 2 questions, here's your answers.

  1. It's really funny how things change when you're pregnant. I kinda thought people were making it up a little, but my baby is pretty opinionated in there. My decisions seem to be made for me on what I will or won't eat. I'm SO glad to get to follow your pregnancy!!!
