My pregnancy so far...

...has sucked! But now that I am 12 weeks, I am feeling much better. I feel very lucky that I never actually puked, not even once! Although I came close many times. I felt nauseous most of the time, but feel so fortunate that I was able to continue working in my 1st trimester. I didn't call in sick or go home early, even though I wanted to! So here is a list of dislikes about the 1st trimester so far:

-gagging every time I brush my teeth

-being one degree warmer (I have always been a cold person. This being hot stuff sucks!)

-feeling like crap most of the time

-not having any energy(The #1 reason for my lack of blogging.)

-not being able to keep up with housework (I barely get the laundry done. It then sits in the laundry room for a week before I finally fold it and put it away. And cleaning? Forget about it! My house hasn't ever been this messy. Grrr)

-the enhanced sense of smell(The #1 offender? Those stupid reusable bags that people bring to the grocery store. No one ever washes them, so they smell like dried chicken blood and old milk. So gross!)

-working 8 hours a day on my feet! (I envy women who have desk jobs.)

-having to pee constantly, especially at night (Every 3 hours.)

-none of my clothes fit (My jeans are all uncomfortable to wear, and most of my shirts are very fitted. Since I don't have a baby bump, the shirts just make me look chubby or bloated.)

-not being able to have my favorite foods(blue cheese, starbucks), or having foods prepared how I like (Having to heat deli meats, having my eggs fully cooked, well done red meat, yuck! I won't be having filet mignon any time soon!)

-constantly being hungry

-having to force myself to eat things I don't normally eat (Extra protein and calcium are the hardest things to consume.)

-constantly craving sweets

-the shower has become my enemy! (I have to take cooler showers so I don't feel like I am going to pass out)

-all the doctor appointments

-the ridiculous acne!

I could go on and on. But I am trying to focus on the things I like so far:

-hearing the baby's heartbeat

-being able to fall asleep so easily

-taking naps

-talking with Jeremy about the baby

and the #1 thing I like about being pregnant?

-not having to change the litter box!!!
