Barf-o-rama...
Constantly nauseated now. Other than the morning routine, no other actual action, but I almost think I'd rather actually throw up then just walk around feeling like I have to all the time. But enough about that, let's talk about food. (ha!)
I went to the grocery store today to stock up on easy dinners (since the last thing I feel like doing lately is cooking a complicated meal) and quick, healthy snacks. I was starting to fall prey to the "I'm hungry now right now need food right now right now okay I'll just eat whatever I find in the pantry." pregnancy vice. And that never even makes me feel better because it's never what I actually want.
So I came home with tons of fruit and frozen veggies, cans of lentil soup, almonds, stuff to make wraps, juice and seltzer water, and supplies to make big salads. I CRAVE veggies like crazy when I'm pregnant and I can never have too many on hand.
I also bought a rotisserie chicken and ate half of it on the ride from the grocery store to my parents' house. LOL! I'll tell you though, I haven't felt hungry all afternoon since then... yay for protein! Still barfy though... but that's par for the course.
Oh and then there's the issue of the belly. It grew overnight. Six weeks today and I kid you not, I pretty much look unmistakably pregnant at this point. Is that NORMAL or do I need to be worried there is more than one in there?!

I hope the nausea passes fast - nothing like a almost 6 year old and 2 year old to keep you running! You're not crazy for having a 3rd. It makes for a crazy house, but it's a good crazy.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I love hearing about you feeling sick. LOL Misery loves company I guess. I know so many women who don't get feel sick in the first trimester and I feel so lonely. None of my sisters get as sick as I do! I hate being the only one. Oh and ditto on the coffee! These days coffee makes me gag, but I still insist on having it every morning, even if it is just to hold the cup and smell it.
LOL Katie... you've got good company here. I barf the entire nine months in one way or another. First it's 20 or so weeks of this morning dry heaving and general nausea. Then it turns into where I can't eat more than two tablespoons of anything without barfing because my stomach is so squished. And the acid reflux... gah. That trumps it all. Should start anyday now (though I always hope against hope it won't happen) I'll be happy to be done with that FOREVER when this is over.
