Baby Time!

October 26th is the official due date that little baby Mullins is going to join us in this world! Jeremy and I (and of course Bo) are extremely thrilled about this new adventure ahead of us.

Today I’m about 13 weeks along, and so far it’s been quite challenging for me. I don’t feel like myself anymore. I never had the official “morning sickness” as the nausea comes later in the day – usually after lunch some time. At about the same time the fatigue starts to take over, and at about 2.30 in the afternoon I become absolutely worthless for the rest of the day as I don’t have any energy left. Most days I feel like I’ve been sick for weeks, and it’s taking me extremely long to recover.

Jeremy has been utterly the best husband! He comes home and takes care of everything: cooking, cleaning, laundry, Bo, & my helplessness. I think what annoys him the most is the fact that I can’t eat leftovers (and I used to love them). Now I have to eat something new every time, once I eat a meal it doesn’t smell good to me anymore, so Jeremy has been having to cook all kinds of things. Potatoes are my favorites! I can probably eat them every day in any form…This week Jeremy had a dinner meeting at work, so my creative & no-time-consuming-to-make dinner was 2 microwaved potatoes – delicious!

I hear everyone saying: your body needs a lot of rest right now. So what do I do with this information? I live it! I sleep for 10-11 hours a day, and probably could sleep for even longer. I don’t know how or why but I fall asleep around 8-9pm and usually sleep all the way through the night (and I still feel exhausted by 2.30-3pm in the afternoon). My doctor says that I should have some of the energy coming back to me any day, and I can’t wait until that day…but for now it’s time for a nap on Sunday afternoon…
