i am now in the middle of 7 weeks. i'm nauseous all day and get tired around lunchtime and early evening. this is a good thing for me. never thought i'd be so happy for nausea and tiredness.
the boy has been sick with a stomach bug. it's incredibly hard to take care of a pukey poopy boy when all i want to do is sleep and keep from barfing myself. i pray i don't get his bug, which i think he got from mom. i was poopy last friday but i didn't know if it was another form of the bug or just food poisoning.
my cravings this week have been for citrus and starbursts. i was hungry for a hamburger sunday. i've been giving into my carb cravings by eating more pasta. i also crave peanut butter.
i've also had some "illegal" cravings. i have been craving sushi like crazy. i only like vegetable sushi (no fish) and wonder if this would be safe. i also had a craving for a glass of red wine! me, who doesn't like to drink, was craving wine! i can drink grape juice as a substitute for that!
my old jeans still fit, but they are getting a little tighter! i wear them as much as possible. i hope i can get another month out of them, and i want to find a belly band so i can keep wearing them! they were big in the butt and legs so there's no reason why i couldn't keep wearing them.
i have lost my knitting mojo! i just don't feel like knitting now, and spend a lot of time reading (books from the library, magazines, etc.) i hope it comes back, becos i have a lot of things to knit for the babies.
hubby and i had a good talk on sunday about the babies. names, fixing the nursery, buying more car seats and another stroller. calculating the financial and spatial ramifications of this surprise. we are both so happy for this blessing and also overwhelmed.
at this time i can't help but remember anni, and that i started bleeding during my 7th week. i am trying so hard to not focus on the bad and looking forward to feeling good and having strong babies. i can't wait to get through the next 2 weeks, and get to 12 weeks, when hopefully it means that yin and yang will be sticking around for the long haul.
