Today, I am approaching 10 weeks pregnant. We found out we were pregnant again at 6 weeks. I felt great at that point. I was still going to the gym a few times a week. I was taking Madilyn for long walks. I was drinking my green smoothies.
Something changed at 7 weeks. I felt like complete crap. At almost 10 weeks today, I am still not feeling great.
Dry heaving in the shower.
“Morning” sickness that lasts all darn day long.
Insane cravings for my mom’s home cooking.
A new thankfulness that my parents live nearby to help me with Madilyn.

Crazy dreams.
A love for grapefruit every morning.

Unstoppable crying during those ridiculous animal commercials featuring Sarah McLachlan.
No desire to walk around the block let alone run on the treadmill.
Hours on the couch watching Dr.Oz during Madilyn’s nap instead of cleaning the house.
A longing for my mom’s potato salad. Mayonnaise and all.

  1. Betsy –
    This was very timely! I have been searching for an organic mayo that tastes good.
    Sorry you are having a hard time. I remember those days.

  2. I don’t have children yet but what you just described is something I genuinely dread….
    I am a very active person who tries very hard to eat healthy and I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to just feel, off, for a constant period of time…
    That potato salad looks lovely…And that little dolly of yours is absolutely adorable!

  3. Betsy,
    I just bought the Spectrum Canola mayo. It is very good! I got it at Giant Eagle, but was wondering where u got yours. Thought TJ’s may have it cheaper.
    Thanks!
