Second Trimester, here we come...

Thursday kicked off week 13. That means, the first trimester is over, and we are on to the second one. And the energizer bunny did not arrive with new batteries for Andrea. Actually, I think it has gotten worse. It is 1:56 PM on Sunday, she is asleep on the couch. And won't be happy about it when she wakes up. She has tried the last two days to avoid the couch, she will get up and sit at the dining room table in the morning, sit on the floor, sit anywhere but the couch. Looks like the couch found her. She did get a lot of the Christmas shopping done this morning...all online, it must have worn her out.

On other aspects of her being pregnant...the food issues seem to have gotten worse. She has lost her appetite, and has lost at least 4 pounds, which has not made the doctor happy. She can't decide what she wants, then when she does...doesn't eat much, or changes her mind mid way through the meal...case in point:

Last week she decided that she wanted to got to the Olive Garden to eat...I was concerned, the garlic and smells of an Italian joint have been her nemesis...but we went anyway. About 4 bites into the salad, she had the look of someone who was no longer happy to be, where they were. Our food arrived, I quickly ate mine, she picked at hers, and we got out of there as fast as we could. I was surprised our dine in order, did not turn into a take out order. I am sure our waitress thought we were nuts. We won't be going back there, and we won't be ordering take out either...the leftovers are still sitting in the fridge...which reminds me, I need to throw those out.

That's all for now. I have to go tend to my homeade spicy Chex Mix in the oven.

Week 11...has arrived.

And it looks just like week 6,7,8,9 and 10. Which is why there has not been an update. We are really hoping that week 12 arrives, and turns the energy switch back to on...or at least shows up with a case of Red Bull or Jolt Cola. But week 12's arrival is a milestone in the process, so in all seriousness, we are looking forward to it...we just hope it brings the energy back.
