8 Weeks

8 weeks

So this week seems to be my worst week ever. I have been more sick this week than I was the entire pregnancy with Camden. I have been exhausted, nauseous all day and night, and just feeling icky. I haven't been wanting to eat, because I feel bad, and when I do eat I feel worse after. It is a very gross cycle. I did feel better at the end of the week, so I am praying maybe that was the worst of it. The last two days I have had my appetite back (for at least part of the day) and I am trying to eat as much protein as I can. I have figured out that the more protein I eat, the better I feel. It sticks with you longer and I think that is the key to helping me feel good. 

The other strange thing this week is that my belly has definitely grown, which is weird since I haven't been eating. I guess you really do grow quicker the second time because I feel about the size I was with Camden at 15 weeks. So crazy!

My clothes are all still fitting ok, but I do prefer to wear looser items right now since my tummy has been so upset. I live in my comfy clothes at home, which is super attractive for Wes to come home and see every day. Oh well, I do know from previous experience that the second trimester gets way better and I will feel cute again and want to eat and go out on dates with my husband.

So I am praying this next week improves and I will be able to enjoy food again.

I can't wait to start feeling this baby move!!
