An Abrupt Change

I had to laugh at this saying.  Story of my life with or without pregnancy.  I took a sharp turn today in my insatiable appetite and non pregnant feelings.  I started noticing it when I went to get Sage from school.  I was hot. I was cold.  I needed the air blowing on me, but then the smells of exhaust and other outside life coming through my vents assaulted my senses.  I was not feeling well.  At all.  Travis was able to get Jaggar before I took Sage to dance, which was good because I honestly wanted to focus on simply breathing.  I told myself that if I could get to Chick-Fil-A and eat something (standard for Wednesdays for us) that I'd feel better.  While I waited for Sage, I named the perfume that the girl across the room from me was wearing.  It happened.  In one day.  Pregnancy hormones in full force.  For some reason, when I'm pregnant, I have the sense of smell of a drug dog.  I remember coming out of my room with its closed door and going downstairs asking Travis why he had to cook hotdogs at 10pm when I was pregnant with Jaggar.  Anyway, Sage and I went to Chick-Fil-A, where we ALWAYS have the playground to ourselves on Wednesdays.  She didn't want to play because Jaggar wasn't with us.  What I thought would help--food--couldn't be given a chance.  I laid my head back to try to feel a breeze that wasn't happening.  I seriously thought Travis was going to have to come get me.  Deep breaths.  Drinks.  I ate a few bites of my salad and hoped it would get better.  The sight of the brownie that I love turned my stomach.  NOOOOO.  The sandwich that I knew was a great idea wasn't even opened at the restaurant.  I did manage to make it home.  I felt better in the cool air of my house where I did eat my sandwich and laid on the couch while Travis, thankfully, bathed the kids.  When Sage and I drove to church tonight, it started again with all of those terrible smells along the interstate, but this is doable.  I'm not incapable.  THANKFULLY, I'm not throwing up...just having a few waves of nausea...which I HOPE was a one time thing that started and ended today.  If not, I'm already halfway through the first trimester, right?
