In the evenings my belly bloats up like a ballon. In the morning it doesn't look so "pregnant".
I don't think it has set in that we are having another baby. The first couple of weeks it seemed so unreal. Of course, it seemed that way last time too. I think with Lillie I found out a little later, like around 6 weeks. I found out so soon with this pregnancy. Before I even got the positive test I knew I was pregnant. Now that I am 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant (yes, I am counting the days) it is starting to feel a little real. Tuesday night was the first evening I felt sick. I wanted to eat, but couldn't. The thought or sight of food made my stomach turn. I didn't have much morning sickness with Draven. The only things that bothered me were coffee and smoke. With Lillie it was food. Nothing sounded good and I felt nauseated for the first two months. Luckily I don't throw up, I just get queasy. Yesterday I had a new symptom. A symptom I know I will not get a lot of sympathy from my husband. Fatigue. It is brutal. Unless you have been pregnant, you don't get it. It isn't like just being sleepy it makes you weak in the legs, feel faint, and only want to sit down. I don't want to sleep (although that would be nice) I just don't have any energy. Of course, the fact that I am not eating very much makes it worse. I had a friend tell me that I need to eat more protein to help grow a healthy baby. Most things high in protein are grossing me out. I can't eat meat, beans, or eggs. Luckily peanut butter and crackers seem to be working for now. I also discovered a new trick. One of the moms on my pregnancy website suggested club soda. It works really well. I am a little worried about the sodium content, but a small glass or two to get me through the day can't be too bad. I am a big water drinker and luckily that doesn't bother me and I have been getting plenty of that. As far as any other symptoms I still have big sore boobs and have to pee every hour (sometimes more often). I can't complain (even though sometimes I do). I am just glad to be going through this experience again. I have a wonderful family and I am very excited to add another Henry to the group.
