Hoarders

Hoarders. Do other people cry when they watch this show or just pregnant women?!

I can't breathe. My heart hurts! 

cleaning bug

Yay! It's my day off, and I am feeling fabulous. No more frumpalufagus. Well, I'm still pretty frumpy with no shower yet, but my house is getting cleaner by the minute! That's right. . . 

No shower by 5pm?! Eww, girl... you ARE frumpy.

I'm cleaning. And what better motivation than providing you guys with pictures as proof?! 

Stay tuned. When I find my camera charger and all's complete, I will post pictures. 

hide yo kids, hide yo wife...

Hello....

I'm just sitting here in the living room being a nauseous little frumpalufagus and waiting for some sort of miracle to creep up on me where I'll start to feel better.

I labored on labor day, so nothing exciting there.

After work, I went to Ross and bought some new sweats to lounge around in.  I don't look at regular cute clothes anymore because 1) I can't fathom putting anything around my waist that is not supported by elastic 2) Frumpalufaguses don't usually wear cute clothes. 

I am beginning to wonder if I'll get that cool pregnancy glow or if I'll just have this sick pregnancy pallor all nine months. 

I am so sick and tired of feeling like this!

Baby Nella

 Cheered up, as usual, by Kelle Hampton's blog.  Would you believe that baby's eyes? 

What a sweet girl. Can't wait to see what my own sweet one's eyes will be like!

Nausea, cravings, aversions, side effects, tiredness

Okay, so just to be fair and update you guys. . .
Remember that night that I was having a super awesome pregnancy night and feeling great enough to do my chores and make a pie?

Well, it looks like that is in the far distant past, and I'm back to puking my guts out again.

Seriously, I am ready to be out of this trimester and able to enjoy pregnancy. Not that this little blob inside of me won't be worth all of this nausea and pain in the end. . .

I have finally entered the realm of cravings and food aversions.

Craving: Chicken nuggets, chicken tenders, milk, carrots, salad, potatoes
Averting: Avocado (usually love anything with this), bleu cheese (I'm a buffalo chicken kinda gal, but I cannot handle this right now), pasta (spaghetti, any kind of noodle), 'Which 'Wich (ever since I had one of their sandwiches with avocado, the entire place sounds nasty), Taco Bell ( I usually LOVE anything from there, Arby's ( I usually love their roast beef, jr. GROSS!), Diet coke and regular coke ( I have limited my caffeine intake and usually have about 8oz of coke a day, if that, but I cannot handle diet soda anymore, so I'm having to drink the regular . . . which now tastes like diet to me. I dunno. Water (I'm not avoiding it, but it makes me super nauseous. I can only drink it in the morning or late at night. During the day is a no-go because it makes me sick.)

Weird side effect tastes: Had a slice of cheesecake yesterday and seriously thought it was laced with jalapenos. Had my friend try it, and she did not agree.

Other that all of that, I'm super tired but good. And my house is back to being a comfortable mess until the next trimester. That is all. Wish I could feel good and energized!!

Bring on week 11 and the energy, I say! :)
