Finishing up Week Nine

9 Weeks Pregnant

So far pregnancy has been pretty great. The only real change in my physical status is being more tired, having acne like I'm in junior high, and the food thing.

In the past several weeks food has become a challenge. I only get nauseated if I HAVEN'T eaten. Even then it's not really a noticeable nausea, it's more like a "I Am about to feel like I am going to throw up if I don't eat" kind of feeling. The problem there is, most food sickens me. The thought of some of my favorite foods makes me want to hurl. Most foods taste like they have some toxic chemical in them or they are too sweet. Even foods that are normally NOT sweet taste sweet to me. My taste buds are totally out of whack.

The other night we made a trip to the store to buy bland, unsalted saltine crackers, some celery, and something "minty". That was all I could think of that didn't make me want to blow chunks.

Click here for several more synonyms for "throwing up". A fun one I have never heard is... "doing the technicolor yawn". Do you think people sit around trying to come up with new words or statements like that?

I still can't tell if my midline is buldging or if it's just my chubby belly. Sometimes I feel so bloated, and other times I feel really... normal. According to all the baby sites I have visited throughout my adventures on the internet the baby is about an inch tall, her/his toes and fingers are formed, the baby is now a fetus, and it's going to start making "wee wee"!! hahaha

Tuesday will begin week 10!
