Weeks 4-6 were a cake walk. Aside from a little lethargy at the end of the day, I was confident that this pregnancy was going to be easy peasy. That all changed quickly! Thankfully, I have only gotten sick a handful of times, but the nausea has been present all day and night long, every single day! Unfortunatley the nausea basically has my appetite MIA. So it's been a struggle getting a full meal down, especially one that is healthy. It seems like all I have been craving are greasy foods and occasionally some fruit. I've also been exhausted. In the beginning I was able to sleep just fine, but lately it seems like I'm so tired that I cannot sleep. Maybe that is the baby's way of prepping me for sleepless nights that are in our near future. The only other persistent - and very odd - symptom I have is itchiness. My entire torso, front and back, feels like it needs to be constantly scrubbed with sandpaper for some relief. Cute, huh? I try to enjoy even the most uncomfortable moments because I know they're just signs of our little one growing, and the thought of that makes me beyond excited!
