Week 5
I like writing the weeks at the top of this post. It feels like Jean-Luc Picard's captain's logs. I'm starting to get symptoms this week (nausea, feeling faint). Last week I was telling T that I was a little worried that I wasn't feeling too many symptoms. I should have just enjoyed it, because today I'm chewing gum and wearing sea bands to keep the nausea at bay. Last night I came home and immediately burst into tears. Luckily, T is the best husband. He rubbed my back and read posts on pregnancy for me until I felt better. :)
Today, I took my research assistants to lunch. I told them they should pick any place they liked, and they picked a deli! What are the chances! Everything on the menu was an off-limit item: deli meats, pre-made salads. Ha! I ended up getting a Chicken Philly, which was probably the most delicious thing on the menu anyhow. I'm enjoying eating for two a little too much. You're only supposed to gain 1 - 5 pounds in the first trimester, so I will need to dial down the eating a little bit. The nausea will probably keep me from eating too much anyhow, so really I shouldn't worry!
