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?
