Week Nine

It's been a while since I've blogged but only because nothing much has changed in the last week. I'm still feeling sick, probably not as bad as before, but it's still very often. My weekends are actually my only time when I feel "normal". I think it's because I've been super busy with weddings, doing hair and make up, that I tend to forget that I'm sick. But the feeling always seems to come back about Sunday evening and it starts right back up again for the rest of the week. I try to keep myself busy by planning my lessons or even going out shopping with my mom to keep my mind off of being sick, but it always seems to get the best of me.

I'm getting sick of being sick. I have things to do! I have 20 days left to plan at least a month worth of Hmong lessons for the school and I have about 1 done. Yesterday I attempted to be productive and got about half of what I have planned for the day done only because I got sick half way through the day and slept through the other half.

So anyways, I thought that this sickness was beginning to slowly fade since I was starting to feel better. I've been having a bigger appetite lately, I haven't been feeling TOO sick most days, my sense of smell seems to been tolerating... etc. I got a bit excited! So I've been experimenting with food because I can't stand to eat the same thing everyday that I've been eating. I've noticed I can eat chicken as long as it's plain, nothing too breaded or deep fried, I can eat melons, cereal bars, bread... nothing too sweet, or savory... still very very plain foods. I had Chipotle tacos a few days ago and of course it wasn't satisfying because it was SUPER plain: chicken, rice, mild sauce [chopped tomatoes], and lettuce. I was able to eat 2 without feeling anything but I highly doubt I'll do that again. $8 for 3 super plain tacos!!!! Gotta be kidding me! And if I'm on the go and need something quick, a plain McDonald's McChicken sandwhich or egg/sausage/cheese biscut seems to make the cut. Of course I haven't been eating it often, plus, every now and then I start feeling that feeling again and I feel like I have to start all over. Yesterday was one of those days. So I'm back to eating my mom's egg drop soup, fruits, cereal bars and pepermint candies. BLEH! I get so hungry but when I eat, it just seems to make me feel even more sick.

OH! And I've been craving warm drinks! I've been drinking hot coco, but it doesn't hit the spot. I've been taking a few sips of coffee a day and OMG I crave it SOO MUCH! My husband and mom won't allow me to drink a whole cup of coffee, even if it's decaf. What else is there that I can have that's ok for me to drink?

Baby is 9 weeks today!
