On Morning Sickness, Watermelon and Naked Juice

A good day yesterday made me think that maybe I might be normal again someday.
  • I took a shower and spent half the time just smelling the soap (usually, I hate the smell of any soap)
  • I got dressed AND fixed my hair all on the same day
  • I fried myself an egg for breakfast
  • I shopped at three different stores that sold food
  • I was away from home for all of 4 hours
  • I never had to take a nausea pill
  • I only brushed my teeth twice the whole day (usually it's a lot more than that)
  • I made Toby steak for supper and even seasoned it well myself
  • I sampled food and drinks at Sam's club
  • I didn't nap in the afternoon
  • I organized an entire food cupboard in my kitchen
  • I changed a wet diaper
  • I wore a maternity shirt just for fun
  • And I stayed up way too late

If you're wondering what I usually do on a 1st trimester pregnancy day, my schedule consists of simply eating, sleeping and being merry. Being merry is the most important because attitude is everything. Right?

I tried two new things yesterday that I think may have helped the nausea ease off: watermelon and Naked Red Machine juice. Both of those have something in them that's known to ease morning sickness. The 1 qt. juice jug alone has 2lbs. of fruit in it. And no preservatives or additives. It's like a delicious and nutritious home-made fruit smoothie in a bottle but without the mess. (Thanks Wissmanns for the tip on watermelon! I have to wonder if it indeed is miracle food.)

I also read in a pregnancy article that typically, morning sickness peaks in the 9th week. And that's right where I am. So, I have to wonder and have even let myself hope a little that perhaps I am seeing the end to this tunnel.
