First Craving

OK, so far in this pregnancy, I have been sick to my stomach, eternally exhausted, and on some freaky emotional roller-coaster. I have had food aversions but no real cravings, at least not the kind that send Allen to the store at midnight for pickles and icecream.
that is until this week. All of a sudden I awoke from a nap and needed - like i need Oxygen - I needed a box of stove-top stuffing, the original chicken flavored kind, not cornbread, or turkey, but the original box of chicken flavored stove top stuffing. So Allen, the dear heart that he is, got up and went to the store. a few minutes later he was home with two boxes of chicken flavored stovetop stuffing. yum. about 15 minutes after he walked in the door, I was finished eating the first box. I saved the second for another day.
As for the belly aches, the past two days I have only felt really sick when I go too long without eating. Other than that I have felt OK most of the time. I pray the sick part is over.
more to come

11 weeks, Does it get better?

Hello family and friends,
It seems that although I am not having a difficult pregnancy according to the ranks of easy to difficult, I seem to never really feel well. Everyone tells me it gets better, I pray is does. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of having a baby, making one just isn't any fun. Baby has me hungry just about every minute of the day. and so far, no funky cravings, more like aversions. I don't like any potato product (earlier I couldn't get enough french-fries), Pizza is also on the do not eat list, additionally icecream, milk (unless it has coco-puffs in it)and chocolate candy. Although Peanut M&Ms are good. It's strange I tell ya, strange. I am always thirsty. I think the baby drinks a gallon of water a day, I can't seem to get enough of it. This then leads to the bathroom, golly, I thought I went alot before hand, sheesh, that was nothin'. So on goes life with a baby in my belly. It's harder than I thought, but everyone says (and I believe them) that it is all worth it.
The search for work continues. I interview regularly, but I am either over qualified for the receptionist position or under-qualified for the management spot I was looking at.
Life in the Nash Household is coming along. We have a few home imporvement projects we would like to get done before the baby comes (not including a nursery). We would like to put down wood floors and do something with the ugly tile in the bathroom. Outside we want to break up the concrete patio and sod the entire back yard (all 400 SqFt of it.)
This is life in Houston.
We will post more soon.
Love to all.....
CJ, Allen and Baby
