I had great intentions of taking weekly pictures to document Baby Weaver's growth but the first trimester hit me like a ton of bricks and pictures were the last thing I felt like doing - although now I seriously regret it! So I thought I'd just document some things I remember and start doing better about weekly/monthly pictures.
At 6 weeks I started feeling nauseous. It started out just in the evenings but gradually (within the next few days) became an ALL day affair. I would try to keep something on my stomach at all times like everyone suggest but who wants to eat anything when you feel nauseated?! Plus I had terrible food aversions so coming up with something that sounded good was tough. Things I loved I suddenly couldn't stand such as sweet tea, Mexican food, any kind of meat, plain water, and eggs. I tried to take medication (Zofran, Phenergan) but to me the side effects of the meds were worse than the actual nausea so I dealt with it (threw up multiple times daily) the best I could. I have to give major props to my hubby who cooked, cleaned, grocery shopped, brought me whatever I needed (since I was bound to the couch/bed), and took care of the pups. I'm so incredibly thankful for him!
Thankfully by the end of the first trimester (really by the end of 14 weeks) things were looking up! I would only get sick if I didn't eat and my food aversions were SO much better. I am so grateful it didn't last the entire pregnancy and am looking forward to an easier second trimester!
