Hello, Kiwi!

I know that I shouldn't be surprised by your growth, Peep. This is my third time having life grow inside me, but it still just amazes me. This week you are the size of a kiwi. That is a lot of growth for one week. Is this why my nausea has been horrendous? Especially today! My hormones must be going wild! Well, even though I can not wait to be in my 2nd trimester, you are worth it, Peep.

Love,
Momma

ps. I'm hoping not to be up at 3:30am again tonight to go to the bathroom. I'm not particularly fond of this new trend.

Calamari- Ugh!

Working at a seafood restaurant has it's benefits, for instance seafood is more expensive than other foods, so my check averages are higher which in turn means my tips are (usually) higher. Well, one of the disadvantages of working at a seafood restaurant when you are pregnant is the seafood itself. Recently, my enemy has been calamari. Smelling it is the worst and just looking at it turns my stomach in every which way. I can't escape it though. Guests order it. My co-workers love it. So there is no escaping it. Luckily, I only have to see you oh evil calamari on the weekends. Okay, I'm done being dramatic. Maybe peep just isn't into seafood!

Nausea: Friend or Foe?

The first three months of pregnancy can be rough due to the nausea, so why do I wish such upon myself on the days that I am feeling great? I know that this sounds crazy, but the first three months are scary, too. Scary because this is the time when most miscarriages occur. It is because the nausea reassures me that I am still pregnant. At least in my mind. I remember how relieved I felt once I got past the three month mark. Then I wished the nausea away. Funny as I'm typing this, I'm starting to feel nauseous. See what I did! I was feeling great yesterday, no nausea and then again this morning. Here comes my friend!
