Finally feeling better now. My bouts of nausea/dry heaving/vomiting began to subside about a week ago, and I feel great now. There are the super-random times when out of nowhere, I'll need to rush to the bathroom to retch a little bit, but those times are few and far between. I still can't stand the smell of chicken, and I haven't been able to eat much of it. The only big problem is that I have no appetite. I get hungry, but I don't want to eat anything. When I do get food, I can only eat a few bites and I get full. I understand that it all has to do with the changes my body is going through, but it's frustrating because I need these nutrients for the baby.
Speaking of bodily changes, wow! I get winded easily (because the carbon dioxide level in my blood has decreased in order to make it easier to transfer more carbon dioxide from the baby to me), and I have been more tired than usual. I've been really sleepy, and my body has been getting sore by the end of the day. Also, my digestive system has slowed a significant amount--hence the whole not being able to eat much. We get to find out the sex in less than two weeks!! I can't wait to a) find out what we are having, and b) seeing our growing child :)
