Hi everyone! How is the start of you week going? 

Abby had a WIC appointment this morning and was really scared and screamed when it was time for the nurse to do her height and weight. When it was time for her iron to get checked it was even worse (she remembered her 2 year check-up at the pedi). She is in a good percentile for height and weight and her iron level is great. My fil took me since I didn't have a car. I am so happy he was there with me because it really helped. Abby was inconsolable. Thankfully I put something on youtube for her to watch while we waited to continue the appointment with the nutritionist and that calmed her down. I'm contemplating taking a nap after lunch while Abby is still sleeping.

Poor thing. Glad she calmed down. Lily hated even going to the dr office. I took her with me when I had the lab done at the beginning of pregnancy and she sobbed until we left. She's been back with me for my other appointments and does great. It's like a switch flipped when she realized she won't get a shot every time we go.

I went to the store for a few ingredients this morning. Threw chicken enchilada soup in the crock pot. Otherwise it's been a relaxing day. Today is about 10 degrees cooler than it has been. Which I'm enjoying with open windows.

Today, I was the sickest that I have ever been, even the last time I was pregnant. Nothing sounded good, everything made me sick. I finally grabbed some Subway on the way home and over the course of a few hours, finally managed to eat it. I have allergies on top of that and can't take my allergy meds, so it's been miserable. Add my anxiety about this pregnancy on top of that, and I am just a mess today.

Hugs!!! I hope you feel better. And just find what works for you food wise. I had a horrible cold due to allergies at the beginning of both pregnancies. So I know how awful it can be.

Thanks. I've heard just eat when you can and just be sure to drink plenty of water and take the vitamins. Catch up later lol.

It's just hard because I"m hungry so I don't feel good, but then I try eating and that makes me sick. Gah. Can't win.

With Lily carbs were my friend during first trimester. This time carbs helped but I was experiencing more of what you describe. So I just ate what I could when I could. I was really loving fruit like strawberries. I'm struggling with drinking enough water. Water tastes gross to me this time.

I hear you on the allergies and not taking anything. I want my nasal spray so bad right now.
