Today I enter the 12th week of the pregnancy and I am hoping that my body now knows I am in the 2nd trimester and turns off the nausea. Yesterday I was on a work phone call and a sudden bout of nausea over took me and I had to excuse myself. The day before I almost threw up all over myself while driving on the highway. I suppose the lesson I have learned is to travel with plastic bags. Although the nausea is continuous, my appetite has improved slightly. After a small scolding from my OBGYN I have removed myself from my all bagel diet. I am now eating more fruit and yogurt, which is certainly good for me and Goose.
Another milestone I hit... maternity clothes. I was trying to avoid buying maternity clothes for as long as possible and I certainly don't absolutely need them yet, but I want some reassurance that I had clothes to wear if need them. I went into Motherhood Maternity this past weekend and became instantly overwhelmed. Looking at all the belly clothes and the fake belly hanging in the dressing room, it all became fairly real. As I was checking out, just 2 pairs of pants in hand, the cashier was trying to encourage me to buy shirts. I promptly said, "I am very overwhelmed and I can only get myself to buy these two items at this time." So I guess I am going to have to make weekly trips to the store to buy more clothes as the size of my belly increases.
