Nausea is crippling my appetite. I try to eat more often but I don't have the stomach capacity that I'm used to. I have been very tired, taking over an hour naps every day over the weekend. I have a four-day weekend coming up, so I am happy about that.

I have been trying to eat lower-carb but starches seem to help my nausea, so that has been difficult. I don't like how bloated they make me. I also noticed I've had problems with spicy foods. They upset my intestines. I guess I'll have to stay away from spicy foods for the rest of my pregnancy and probably through breastfeeding too. I'm sure I can do it, I just have to remember.

My friend lent me a book "Yoga for Pregnancy". I read through it last night and it looks great. Hopefully my midwife will clear me to exercise soon.

I had my first official appointment today. They said I am supposed to be eating 2400 calories!!! Drinking 1 gallon of water. 60-90g of protein per day. The RN said if I don't gain more than 30 lbs, I will loose all of it by 6 weeks post partum. I was kind of hoping for 15-25 at most, but I've decided not to stress about my weight gain. As long as I am eating healthy food, then I am giving my baby what it needs.

Nausea has hit me hard since Sunday morning. I haven't gotten sick yet but the nausea comes in waves. As long as I don't let myself get too hungry I am OK. Ginger chews and B-Natals have helped a lot.

I find I don't really want to eat when I get up, but I know I have to or I will feel worse, then about an hour and a half of hoping my breakfast stays down. So far so good. Hopefully my strong stomach will hold.

I have my first official prenatal appointment tomorrow morning.

I am just really happy I haven't gained. I'm not eating much more, just on bed rest for the last 3 days, so I'm not getting much exercise. I am so happy that I am not gaining. :)

Yesterday I had to go home from work. I work at an OB/Gyn office so it makes it really easy to be seen while pregnant. They just fit me in when they are ahead on the schedule (yes it does happen), when they have a cancellation, or at the end of the day. I was bleeding so they checked me. The midwife said everything is OK. They rechecked my hcg hormone levels and they are going up, uP, UP! :D As they should... PLUS! They did an ultrasound and I GOT TO HEAR MY BABY'S HEARTBEAT!!!! It was such a reassuring sound. I could see the little heart beating on the screen and my eyes teared up. I had no expectation of hearing or seeing it yesterday. It was amazing!

I got a whole list of books and websites from my friend who is a doula. She lives in Colorado but said she would fly out to assist if she could. In the meantime she is my biggest support, keeping me positive and knowledgeable. She suggested reading up on the Brewer Diet for Pregnancy. It is very well-rounded and a lot like what I am doing anyway, the only thing is that the calories they recommend are 2200 minimum to support a healthy pregnancy. I am assuming that is beginning from the second trimester. I'm going to read more about it.

So I am still home from work. Midwife orders. I'm on "bed rest" so I really need to go lay down now.
