I've been having to kind of take it easy at work...because I've noticed when I work too hard, I start to cramp and get more tired than I already am. Saturday was INSANE, and I never got to take a lunch break....so I was exhausted, sore, and incredibly cranky by the end of the 12 hour workday. I told my boss than I didn't want to have to pull the "I'm pregnant and I need to break" card....but I will if I have to. I can't work 12 and 13 hour days without some sort of break! At least the Boss Man fed me....and I had some awesome spinach pizza with white sauce. Yummmm..
I have managed to avoid most serious nausea, but I am kind of amused with my only food aversion. I can't eat sweet. Sweet equals candy, chocolate, and anything that people turn to when their sweet tooth starts knocking. It also includes the Preggie Pops, which were meant to keep nausea at bay anyway....but since they are sweet and they make me sick...it kind of defeats the purpose. They're just hanging out in my cupboard right now.
So..because of my recent sugar aversion, I have been eating pretty healthily. Lots of veggies, protein, and a tiny bit of fruit (because some fruit is too sweet).
For the most part, I'm feeling good! I'm tired a lot....and if left to my own devices, I could sleep all day (and all night.) It takes a lot of effort to get up and moving and get things done...instead of totally being a couch potato all day.
I'm making an effort to be happier and not so paranoid about the pregnancy...but then I have the stupid people asking me "OH have you picked out a name yet! Oh it's so fun being pregnant! Yay!" And then they don't understand why I'm a little hesitant to even think about a "baby" because I might not have one. And they bug me to pick out names, because that's was normal people do. Sorry, I didn't have a normal pregnancy last time, so excuse me for being a little worried about this time.
OH, and then I get the snot-nosed kids that offer to have me call them if I have any questions (condescending a little?).
Okay, I'm done. I need to feed myself.

Based on the tone of this post, I might just be avoiding you until the little minion is born.
No more 12 hour days allowed
I am prayerful for your peanut. And for you. And Casey too.
Courtney might have the right idea. lol =]
George had the sweet aversion, too. she might have some suggestions.
We didn't have names until 2 weeks before they were born. It takes alot for us to agree on that topic. that and we procrastinated.
tell you what, when they're pregnant they can do everything on their time table and you can do it on yours. My mantra: my baby/body- my rules.
haha ... kira beat me to the punch. i was going to tell you that i had a no-sweet clause, myself. but ... no suggestions. because everything - and i do mean everything - made me sick. the whole @#%& pregnancy. be glad you are well most of the time ... at least you CAN enjoy it when you feel comfortable doing so.
and i dealt with the heartburn, too. like you - never had it before in my life. so i didn't know what it was, either. but it roared with a vengance - and still does, for some reason.
and about the *other* ... like i told you then ... you just can't fix stupid. :)
thinking about you and your minion. let me know if i can do anything for you ... and DO let me know when you have a name. i have tricks up my sleeves ;) . love you.
Yeah- the heartburn/reflux sucks! Did you know that all my kids were born with "T-u-m-s" across their foreheads? I really should've bought stock in the company...
I'm sorry -kinda- that you can't stand the sweets - I CRAVED them - and therefore gained lots of weight I didn't need to. This could be a blessing...
