First trimester w/ Baby 5

If you know me then you know I love being pregnant. Also, I have what I consider easy pregnancies. But I don’t know what it is but man this is getting hard. It could be that this is Lafond Baby 5 or that I am now 31 or even a combination of things but I don’t plan on doing this a lot more. Maybe one but that’s become a hard maybe. 

The first trimester is the hardest. Any one who has been pregnant or watched someone pregnant will tell you that. I, however, used to brag and tell people that I would never know I was pregnant except for the fact that I missed my cycle. This time around I absolutely knew. There was no denying it. Luckily I wasn’t running to the bathroom but it sure felt like I should. Any and everything made my stomach turn. The thought of food alone made me want to stay away from it. Which clearly makes no sense because you have to eat. No matter what I ate — or when — I felt nauseous. Food I thought would be good a few moments later had me feeling queasy. I will admit that ginger and lemon did help. But it wasn’t enough for me. 

If I didn’t feel sick I took full advantage of the opportunity to sleep. Hashim would stop and run into a store real quick and come back and I would be knocked out. Car sleep I am now convinced is the best sleep. I definitely believe that our beds should rock us to sleep like baby swings. Someone please invent that and just give me 20% for the idea. Sleep was something I took advantage of and I am not ashamed.
