I've Got The Blues
These past few weeks have been rough. Lately I have been feeling very sick and I think I have been consuming only milk for about a week now. Every smell makes me queasy and even just the thought of food....no way.
I try to eat as often as possible but my body just doesn't want it and I find myself vomiting more than I originally consumed and then I just feel nauseous all the time. TMI....I know.
On the bright side- I never get sick of milk and so I've come to rely on that tasty treat whenever I can't handle anything else. Milk is very good for the baby so I am glad that I can handle at least that.
An unfortunate side effect that I have come to know from growing a baby is that this little one needs so many nutrients to grow and happens to take them all from my body. Thank you little one! Because of that I am always exhausted and weak and I have even stopped going to the gym because it is making me so tired.
My skin is suffering too. I suppose the baby is taking away my Vit E because I have been finding these odd dry "eczema-like" patches on my arms. Bring on the Baby Oil!
Now I don't mean to bring you down if you happen to be expecting too....there are ten billion positive sides to this whole pregnancy thing! After all, I should be happy that the little baby inside of me is taking from my body because that means that he/she is growing and developing! I just finished telling Jett how amazing it would be to know for certain that our little baby is healthy and strong. Jett was so funny when he replied, "Honey it is my child......Of course it will be healthy....I mean, Look at me." Although he spoke with silliness and sarcasm, his comment made me happy because I know that both Jett and I work very hard to be healthy and take care of our bodies. It gave me faith in knowing that however our child turned out, they would be as healthy as their circumstances and destinies permit because daddy and I did all we could to give them that much.
What a silly man I am married to.
