Week 5

High 5 for Week 5!
Monday - 10/22/2012
So, exactly one week and one day after finding out I’m pregnant……BAM!: hellllooooo morning sickness! …..which…actually occurred in the middle of the night but of course I already know that the “morning” part is totally false. Ha.  Last night the little man (or little woman) in my stomach must have not wanted to sleep…at least he or she didn’t want ME to sleep. Haha.  I had a stomach-ache and woke up several times.  Of course I know this little boy/girl is not even the size of a fingernail right now AND according to my handy-dandy pregnancy book, says that he/she has a little tail and looks more like a reptile than a human baby at this point. ….that’s JUST comforting  ;)   I got a little “something” swimming around in my stomach making me want to vomit.  Haha.  

So this morning when I got to work, man I felt awful   and then….the heavens opened … ;) ... and I remembered the advice of that handy-dandy pregnancy book that peanut butter crackers help with morning sicknes.  And boy did they!  I felt there should be an ode to peanut butter crackers right then and there ;).  No more throw-uppy (totally a word now :)) feeling.  So I’m feeling pretty good now…PRETTY good…. Not totally normal but then again…I don’t think I’ll feel “normal” for the next 8 months so… learning to live with it :)

I’ve started matching up my “symptoms” to the pregnancy book – during weeks 2 and 3 you’ll start to be obsessed with food and may experience cravings – Can I just say check?!  In one week I’d craved cheeseburger hotdogs (that we’ve only found at Circle K), Arby’s, Burger King, Olive Garden, ice cream, ice cream, and more ice cream (yeah I know, bad for the baby. Probably gonna give him/her a brain freeze, poor thing.  But don’t worry – I’m out of that phase…this week :)).  I’ve just wanted really random things that I don’t normally want like a Burger King whopper.  I honestly cannot even remember the last time I ate a whopper or even WANTED one – probably like 5 years ago…

Tuesday - 10/23/2012
Today I ate cereal at 7am….and by 9:30am I was literally STARVING. …I thought they say that pregnant women’s metabolism SLOWS DOWN?!  Hello?!?!  (This book must be totally off.  Great...I'm getting advice from a book that was written like....80 years ago ;)  ....I feel like I’m feeding THREE people here!  ahhh, better not jinx myself there.  I think twins would be um…SLIGHTLY overwhelming…. But hey, we’ll see  ;).  So I started thinking about carrot sticks…again….I swear I am going to buy some of those today if it’s the last thing I do. I’ve been wanting those so bad.  And grapes and cherry tomatoes.  So but after analyzing how far away the nearest grocery store is from work, I realized I can’t possibly make it there, in and out, and back in 30 minutes.

 So…plan B was the café.  They of course don’t have carrot sticks but they have pizza…. With ranch.  :)

  .... Smile.   

When the café FINALLY opened 2 hours later at 11:30, at 11:32 I was in line for pizza..  
When I got back to my desk…I realized  I forgot to tell them to add onions.  And the only ranch option had been “fat free buttermilk ranch” which I decided couldn’t be THAT bad…… 

oh, but it was.  It was THAT bad. 
And I didn’t even want chicken on my pizza…why did I ask for that? Totally picking that off...

…….  Man, lunch….Total fail.  Haha.   I called Dustin and was almost emotional about my food.  SO sad my food ALL DAY YESTERDAY and today has not even tasted good. …He was sad for me but reassured me that I could go buy carrots today.  Yay….carrots!!  (back to square one again, haha)  

I’d better not get my hopes up about the CUT of carrots that I’m really super craving though huh? 

……wha?

 … ok, so ya know those perfect carrot sticks they serve when you get buffalo wings? (with the ranch and celery sticks on the side too?)   …yeah, those.  I want THOSE.  

NOT the stumpy little ones… 

NOT the big long ones with the skin and gross ends… 

I want those perfect little peeled carrot sticks…. I may or may not have been thinking about calling to ask if I can order a package or two from the buffalo wings place…if that’s even allowed… or asking who their carrot supplier is. .. holy random conversation that would be….   But for reals, I REALLY want those carrots. ….

 …for reals.
