Nakasone-Chan,This is going on the 5th straight week that you’ve been seriously kicking my butt. Morning sickness and nausea plagues me 24/7 with hardly any relief. It’s kind of hard to believe something the size of a grape has such an affect on me. Your dad claims it’s all of his Asian genes invading and conquering my body.
Eating has been extremely challenging in the last couple of weeks since my tummy is constant state of nausea. I think this has to be the first time in history that I actually don’t feel like eating. There have been a few staples that have been getting me by the last couple of weeks which basically consist of carbs and sugar. I’m hoping that I’ll have my 2nd and 3rd trimester to start eating better.
At this point only a few people know about you including most of the immediate family and a few close friends. Two of my colleagues at work including my boss know about you, but that’s only because my working hours were cut drastically due to morning sickness and fatigue. Luckily, I work with an amazing team that is totally understanding of my condition.
Even though I’m in a state of constant morning sickness and fatigue, I’m still trying to get outside and run 2-3 days per week. To some people running while pregnant is taboo, but the doctor reassured me it was fine since I was an avid runner before you came along. I have, however, drastically reduced my speed to 12-13 minute miles and generally do not run over 4 miles. Personally, I enjoy my runs as it allows me to clear my head and spend some quality time thinking about you.
What you crave this week:
Raisin Bagels with full fat cream cheese
Watermelon
Cool Ranch Doritos
Love,
Mommy
