Under construction...

Since the "morning" sickness has set in, it's been interesting around here. As with my other pregnancies, I only feel sick in the evenings and can't eat much except cold cereal, french fries, crackers, and sprite. I make it through the day just fine and hardly even notice anything different but as soon as dinnertime comes around, I can't stand the thought, smell, or sight of meat, vegetables, or most dairy. If I do try to eat anything different, I have stomach pain the rest of the night and just feel nauseous and blah! I'm still craving chocolate and sweets as much as ever, though, so I'm sure that's not helping with my digestion problems.

The other night I was complaining that my stomach really hurt since I was bloated and gassy so Jared put his head on my belly to hear what all the commotion was about. He said it sounded like a construction site in there with a lot of remodeling going on and that he doesn't blame me for complaining. So at least I have his sympathy now...



I have been noticing some weird things with this pregnancy also. A few weeks ago I noticed for a couple nights in a row that when I would brush my teeth, the water in the bathroom tasted like there was perfume or scented soap in it. I tasted my toothbrush and toothpaste and it wasn't in that so I ran the water for a minute and I still could taste it. Jared didn't notice anything different so I just thought I was imagining it. But last night, I noticed it again and it's really annoying. Our kitchen water tastes just fine, though, so I might have to start brushing my teeth in there.

Well, you probably don't care or want to know all this about the early part of pregnancy but for those like to know all the juicy (or yucky) details, here it is. Enjoy learning about our construction project, due to be completed in November 2009!
