1. Every day I wake up, and for 30 seconds think, "I'm not nauseous. This is wonderful!" Then I move my head. And that's the end of that! I lay in bed and munch on Ritz crackers, and usually beg Jeff to go get me an apple (I wish I didn't run out of apples so quickly!)
2. I sleep like a cat. One minute I am fully engrossed in Season 3 of House, and the next, I am out like a light, waking up anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours later, only to repeat the whole cycle a few hours later.
3. The other night candy sounded good. I went to Walgreens to get a Snickers and Mambas. I came home with ice cream, Drumsticks, two bags of fun size Snickers (yet to be opened!), and countless other candies (I DID share with Jeff!).
4. I've never been one to wake up in the middle of the night. Now I am awake every 3 or 4 hours. Luckily, I fall asleep pretty quickly now.
5. I have an intense fear of getting sick in public. I have absolutely no problem feeling crummy while sitting at home on my couch, cuddled under a blanket, but the thought of actually getting sick in public is enough to make me stay home. For the record, I realize it's irrational, and that I probably wouldn't be the first person it would happen to, and probably not the last, but the thought of explaining why I threw up in Meijer is humiliating.
6. I am absolutely starving, but nothing sounds good. Some food sounds amazing, and then suddenly, once it's in front of me, I don't even want to look at it. Other food, I dream about (okay, not literally), but I'm worried that if I go out to get it, I won't want it once it's here. Lately, it's worked best for me to call Jeff on his way home and beg him to stop at whatever fast food place suddenly sounds good (generally Arby's). I know I shouldn't eat fast food, but hey, it's got to be better than not eating! Foods that sound amazing right now: Edy's Strawberry fruit bars, blueberry scones, spaghettios, grilled cheese (but only from a restaurant), curly fries, onion rings, slurpees, a bagel (from McDonalds), and a baked potato. Unfortunately, I don't have any of these foods. The number one thing I want to eat right now is a turkey bagel sandwich from Bagel Beanery, but since lunch meat is a no-no, that's not happening for awhile. Quiznos too, unless I want the meat steaming hot, which isn't as terrible on a toasted sub...
7. I found a swollen lymph node on the back of my right ear. I thought maybe my allergies were just really bad, but they don't cause your lymph nodes to swell do they? Maybe it's a cold. Or an ear infection (my ear does hurt, but I attributed it to allergies at first). Jeff says he can't feel it or see it, but when I compare it to my left ear, it's very obvious.
8. My house is a trashpit, and Jeff's friend is coming to spend a few nights...hope he doesn't mind. I just don't have it in me to clean. Dishes are the worst. I can't seem to manage to put them in the dishwasher, because they gross me out. Jeff hasn't been home much, so they are taking over my counter.
9. Watching House season 3 again reminds me how I nearly stopped watching the show during season 3 because they drew out the whole House v. Tritter drama for WAY too long. I'm kind of glad I'm sleeping through half the episodes.
10. Our fish tank needs more water. I've been bugging Jeff, but I could do that myself too. The sound of running water all day is making me spend half my day in the bathroom. It would definitely be worth my time to fill the tank up. Yet I will probably just sit here and complain about it some more.
11. I could have gone to a sweet sale today to get some baby things. But, (see #5), and I've been chastised for buying too much. I have to leave things as options for gifts apparently. The Dutch part of me has a hard time with that. I want to get the deal.
12. I am already sick of the first trimester. Can it be my anniversary yet? Or the Fourth of July? (Oddly enough, the time when my morning sickness should end is also when I was due if I hadn't miscarried in November.)
13. I'm reading a book that I find incredibly slow and annoying, but I can't stop reading it in the middle. The only thing pushing me to finish it is that I have a new Barbara Kingsolver book waiting for me.
14. I killed an un-kill-able plant (a philodendron). I've had it since college, and suddenly, moving here, it died. I do still have my plant from the library though. That one is doing quite well as long as I leave it alone. When we moved in, Jeff said we needed plants in the office. He bought an aloe plant, and an african violet. I told him that I can NEVER keep violets alive, and it would be dead in a week. I vowed to never touch it. It is constantly blooming and had tripled in size since we moved in. Apparently the hands off approach is best. (Jeff doesn't hardly even water it!).
15. I know lists are annoying to read. It just gives some semblance of order to my completely random post.
