Like my poor sister Erin, who was sweet enough to join me at the Mariah Carey concert a couple years ago while pregnant with Jacob. She kept telling me that she felt sick, and I just thought "suck it up" it is Mariah! Then on the way home she asked me to drive, which I was not happy about because I not used to her big SUV. Well sure enough, she puked all over the car the whole way home and apparently my response was "I hope you never get pregnant again!" We can laugh about it now, but it is true that pregnant women are usually not making it up- making a whole person is definitely not easy.
My my primary ailment has been this nagging nausea that never caused any vomiting thus far, but just made life tough in general. It has lasted all day, every day for the most part and it made simple hygienic tasks like showering and brushing my teeth pretty difficult. Thank goodness my prenatal vitamins were never the root of the nausea because with all the Easy Mac I have been eating, those vitamins are what kept my mind at ease.
I am trying my best to think of this next trimester as the glory days since that is what everyone tells me. So starting today, I am trying harder to do the things that have been so hard- like eating vegetables, working out, blow drying my hair, and any type of cleaning! New trimester, new me...let's hope!
Special thanks to Tom for taking such good care of me and doing the dishes and putting the frozen pizza in the oven. I know this may not have been what you expected of your new wife on our wedding day, but I promise to try harder now that I am feeling a little more myself! You never put me down, and always insist that right now- I am our family's "main effort"- you will be such an amazing dad to this baby.
