I realize now that I have been definitely craving sweets ...I totally love chocolate and cake, cookies and some candy but if you ask Gregg or Vanessa, I rarely eat this stuff as I am very much a SAVORY gal...I love all things savory and salty and will choose it over sweets any day of the week! However, lately sweets have been calling my name and it's hard not to be tempted, lol. We went to Beau Monde Creperie yesterday for Mother's Day and for the first time, instead of a savory crepe, I ordered a sweet crepe: Crepe w/bananas, nutella, and hazelnut ice-cream! Can I say....I "INHALED" it like my life depended on it...so crazy!
...And let's just say the indigestion and slight nausea I felt as we walked around South St. afterwards didn't bode well with me at all! On top of that...my sense of smell is like...10-fold. Everything is much more acute which sucked since as we were walking...cigarette smoke was all the more irritating and the smell of incense coming out of the Meditation bookstore totally grossed me out...when normally I love the smell of incense. I am so much more sensitive to my surroundings now which I don't believe to be a good thing at all lol...since I am already very "aware" of what is going on around me...this is just...too much. When I was pregnant with Vanessa, I was only 21...and I don't think I really gave much thought to my pregnancy at that time...primarily because it was a "surprise", I wasn't trying to be pregnant and I was so young...I was just...going through the motions because I didn't know what to do...it was all so new to me ....and very surreal as I never thought I would be a mother sooo soon ...(Vanessa was conceived on my wedding night, how funny is that?!!!)
...I think I pay more attention now since this is intentional. We've been trying to conceive for so long that it has totally consumed me and in turn the experience has been very literal...with purpose. My headaches are coming and going as well and that is just...not a turn-on. I hate feeling like I have no control and being limited to what meds I can take to alleviate my suffering. Limited access to my allergy and pain meds doesn't make me a happy gal....but I am willing to make the sacrifice to get a happy and healthy baby out of it...so I am not by any means whining or complaining.
Exhaustion is getting the best of me....really slowing me down which is also annoying as I am the type that does 10 things at once and even while taking a break, I am doing something to get ahead...I have to learn to slow down and take it easy ...especially if I truly want to nurture this pregnancy to be a healthy one....just not in my vocabulary and is so hard for me to do.
But anyways, I digress....it is a beautiful Monday and start to the week...hope you area all doing well and talk more soon!
***UPDATE: this is a vlog that I recorded and finally have been able to add to this post. Hope you enjoy it!
