Rain, rain, don't go away from March 25, 2009

Harrison is sick with the crud, so I am staying home with him today. Not the best time - we are understaffed at work and one of my coworkers is out on vacation all week. But the upside is that it is a really good day to be home! It is supposed to rain all day. Now, I hate getting out and about on rainy days, but I love being at home when it is rainy. The sound is peaceful and soothing. And I always feel sleepy and lazy when there is a steady rain for several hours, so it is better to be home where I can nap!

I am now 13 weeks pregnant and am finally feeling better - I am actually eating real food again. I can even eat meat now as long as I don't cook it. Last week I went to the doc and she said that I would be feeling better by this week. I was skeptical, but she was right! It's like magic. Nausea, nausea, nausea for 12 weeks, then all of a sudden you start to feel hungry again. The good news is I am not craving sweets and other super fattening stuff. I mostly want to eat fruit (especially grapefruit) and sharp cheddar cheese. It was the same way when I was pregnant with Harrison. My only fear is that all this grapefruit will cause the baby to be collicky. Irrational, I know, but Harrison had it and it is NOT FUN. Of course, I haven't been afraid enough to stop eating it yet. Speaking of food, I think it is time to go get some cheese and crackers, turn on a movie or home improvement show, and snuggle up in bed with Bo, our very lazy Jack Russell Terrier (I didn't know there was such a thing). I may even take my first nap of the day!
