So my last post ended up being a lie. I couldn`t have planned that.
Here`s the twist - seems right after my miscarriage, I got pregnant again. Major morning sickness, major food aversions, and major fears. Somehow this one has lasted longer than either of the other two and if I can last until morning, I`ll be 9 weeks.
I've had aversions to everything. I lost four pounds in two weeks. Even when I was exercising an hour a day and counting calories, I couldn`t lose weight that fast. The last time I weighed this little, I was 13! Thank God my doctor gave me diclectin, so I can somewhat think about food without getting sick.
Ah, food, how I miss thee. I`ve completely lost my sweet tooth, but I still like fruit. I can barely stomach garlic, or any other spices, really. Tomato sauce gives me horrible heartburn. And bacon. Ohhhh, I can`t stand the smell of cooking bacon - it`s like rancid b/o to me - and the smell of frying steak isn't much better. Now, the family joke is that bacon is the food I've loved since I was in utero. It's always been delicious. I never dreamed it could smell so bad! So, so, so so bad!!!
I'm living on lots of eggs, cheese, cucumber, avocado, apples, (with just a touch of cinnamon on the side - delish!) honeydew, chicken, and bagels. I wish I could have fish more than twice a week as it sounds so yummy, but I'm trying to make sure I don't overindulge until I get to see the specialist. The occasional tv dinner (mmm, swedish meatballs) gives some variety when it sounds palatable.
DH has been an absolute saint, taking over cooking and cleaning and dishes as I'm on self-imposed bed rest as much as possible. I don't care if doctors say it can't fix anything. When I lie down, the warning signs from the first time go away, so I'm lying down.
I will try to post more, but really don't know what I'll be able to post about.
P.S.: Before I lost my sweet tooth, there was one delicious creation, though everyone gave me funny looks. Take a slice of toast, spread strawberry jam on thinly, then top with sliced breakfast sausage. It was so sweet-and-savory good.
